Communication Apprehension Some people are very apprehensive when it comes to communication, and others are much more open and talkative. Those who have apprehension where their communication is concerned tend to be shy and withdrawn, and they often focus on quiet time at home instead of being out and about with friends or in large groups (DeFleur, Kearney, Plax, & DeFleur, 2005). According to DeFleur, Kearney, Plax, & DeFleur (2005), communication apprehension is the "fear experienced in anticipation of or during communication encounters." (pg.276). In other words, many people would call this "stage fright." It may seem silly to those who do not have to deal with it, but for those who are actually truly apprehensive when it comes to communication it can seem very real and highly significant.

That can help a person to learn better communication skills and ways he or she can conquer anxiety and other problems related to communication apprehension.

Although I have been through many of these encounters in my career, this one was going to be different because I knew that she was going to ask my opinion on how our hurricane evacuation and subsequent command relocation went.
