INTERPERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP
Lesson 1

I am a Social Being
Discussion:

From the point of view of creation, man was created, male and female. Therefore, we were
born to relate with each other.

• From the moment of conception, we started our relationship with our mother.
• When we were born, we were welcomed by our family.
• We were never alone
• Our life will be meaningless if we live by ourselves and ignore others.

Technology enhanced our relationship with others. Internet seems to be a powerful tool
to communicate and relate with others, more websites were created.

• More websites were created. Ex: Friendster, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
• Phones by this time keep us connected with others all the time
• Media advertising were now more efficient because it has now its own dimension.
• Food chains like Jollibee, McDonalds, KFC and ChowKing put premium in their
advertisements the value of family and relationships.

Ex. Internet and social networking sites. Phones and computers that is used as tool for
surfing the net

Relationship is defined as a connection between two parties.

• As a value, relationship means interdependence, collaboration and bond between two or

more persons.
• Relationship is founded on Trust and Love.
• In friendship, trust is the foundation of relationship.
• Filipino value friendship makes better individuals which give hope and faith in life.
• It also builds strong community relationship.
• A matter of connection with others and merely shows expression from heart.

Socialization is a face-to-face encounter with one another

Virtual Relationship is the use of technology on communication was non-existent.

“No man is an island.” We were not born alone and we live for each other. we find meaning in
our life through our relationship with others.

Lesson 2

I am in a Relationship
Discussion:

In a relationship, an individual relates with others. However, our kind of relationship may
vary. But most of the time, relationship is intimate because there is love and trust among the
members.

Degree of Relationship; Relationship with:

a. Business partners
b. Family members (blood relationship/intimate relationship where there is more love and
trust)
c. Work/Officemates
d. School classmates
e. Friends (deeper relationship they share more personal things with each other)
f. Romantic (like and love each other/mutual feelings towards each other)

Relationship may be now defined differently. Filipinos tend to accept some ways to maintain
their relationship with others. Using technology is a great example that keeps them in touch and
updated with anybody they want. It helps sustain the relationship they’ve already built. We found
these ways maybe because we value relationship that much and it is significant in our life.

Friendships is a distinctively personal relationship that is grounded in a concern on the part

of each friend for the welfare of other, for the other’s sake and that involves some degree of
intimacy.

• Filipinos value friendship.

• We often refer friends as barkadas, tropa, friendship, bestfriend, kaberks and etc.
• Filipinos call their friends kaibigan (ka-ibigan), meaning there is love in their
friendship.
• In a relationship there must be: a sincerity and respect in the relationship of love.

True friendship is not measured by frequency of encounters and gifts that we receive.
Rather, it is all about honesty and sincerity that we bring in the relationship.

Make the most in your friendship and find meaning in your circle of friends and even in
your family. When the time comes, we will all benefit and make use of it in the future. And with
the technology we have now, use it to strengthen the relationship you have.

Task Assessment: Below is a concentric circle. Identify the smallest to biggest with the most
important people in your life. Starting with the smallest circle as the most important of all. Then
write a word beside the name that best describes your relationship with his/her name. Below is
just an example. Draw your own circle so that you can put as many circles as
you want. Answer the questions that follow.

1. What will you do to remain close to your friends?

2. How do you see your friendships 20 years from now? How will you be
faithful to your relationship?
Lesson 3

Be Connected
Discussion:

Everyone is always connected.

• Information are sent quickly

• Young people are always updated and that is what best describes them.
• Communication today has brought the relationship to higher level. We meet a lot of people
and develop new friendships.
• It made us always in touch with others all the time.

Communication is also sharing. We share ourselves with others that build a great relationship
with someone or with others. The way we communicate says a lot about ourselves. We live our
life in full when we communicate and share ourselves with others.

• In relationships, communication plays a very vital role.

There are different ways of communication. Actions speaks louder than words. Psychologists
agree that our actions, gestures and expressions are very powerful. When people talk and listen,
they go through different levels of communication.

Level 1: Small Talk Cliché Conversation (Hi-Goodbye)

Shallow conversations take place like “How are you?”, “How are you doing?”. It is kind of
meaningless but it is better than embarrassed silence. When communication remains at this level,
it is boring. There is no personal sharing.

Level 2: Factual Conversation-Reporting the Facts about others

Information is shared but there are no personal comments along with it. You share gossip
and little narrations but you do not commit yourself as to how you feel about it.

Level 3: Ideas and Opinions

Real intimacy begins here for you to expose your own thoughts, feelings and opinions.
The person is willing to step out of solitary confinement and risk telling some of his ideas and
decision.

Level 4: Feelings and Emotions-Gut Level

Communication at this level describes what is going on inside you- on how you feel about
the other person or situation. You gain flashes of insight into your friend’s character that will
give you real understanding of how he feels and thinks. You verbalize feelings of frustration,
anger, resentment or happiness.

Level 5: Deep Insight-Peek Communication

Rare insightful moments will occur only when you are perfectly in tune with another in
understanding, depth and emotional satisfaction. This kind of encounter leads to friendship,
intimacy and genuine relationship. There is a mutual sharing of personal ideas and feelings in
the ultimate goal.
Task Assessment

1. Draw or Cut-out pictures from magazine and attach it to your module showing the level
of communication and its example.
2. Get a picture of “Bayanihan” and explain the meaning of it and how does relationship
develop up to that point.
Lesson 4

I Gotta Feeling
Discussion:

This lesson dictates into how we express and communicate our feelings to others. People
express their feelings with the use and help of communication. Today, young people
communicate effectively because they don’t only express their ideas but also their feelings.

Traditional way of communication:

a. There was no technology

b. It was a luxury back then. only rich people can afford TV and telephones
c. Messages are delivered personally
d. People gather in one place to talk about things
e. More personal interaction among people
f. They personally know each other by face and by name

Feeling refers to the physical sensation of touch through either experience or perception. It
also describes experiences, other than the physical sensation of touch, such as “a feeling of
warmth”.

• These are the source of one’s energy and power but feelings need to be disciplined
• You have to be in control of your emotions rather than your emotions.

Emotion fundamentally involves “physiological arousal, expressive behaviors and

conscious experience”. It is associated with mood, temperament, personality and disposition and
motivation. Some people say that you are not human if you don’t have feelings.

There must be a balance between the mind and the heart.

Feelings are meant to be expressed. They are neither right or wrong. In learning to
understand yourself and others, we must learn to become very open and accepting of all our
emotional reactions. We must also learn on how to listen to our feelings if we are to become
growing persons.

Sharing of deep feeling is the greatest gift a human being can give to another. A gift of
love is like reaching out for the feelings of another person, not to console him but to taste to
simply taste the experience of that person or to stand in his shoes.

Everyone is interested in something that is correct but only the person interested in
feelings is someone who cares.

Basic principles of feelings:

1. Feelings aren’t good or bad

2. We feel them in our bodies
3. We learn to hide unacceptable feelings and in their place show feelings that we are taught
as acceptable, thus getting out of touch with our own true feelings.
4. Only when we are aware of our feelings can we make them work for us.

Task Assessment: Express freely. Write the answers on the space provided or at the back of this
paper.
1. Identify who among your family member are you weakly connected with. What kind of
communication do you have? (Refer to the level of communication on the Lesson 3)
