Communication is in a sense the flexibility in the perspective derived from the individual’s inner world. Therefore, it is extremely important that the message that is wanted to be communicated during the interpersonal communication occurs in addition to the correct delivery by the opposite. Since interpersonal sharing is based on understanding and narration in communication, the concept of empathy as much as speech is important as well.

These behaviors can manifest in different ways, such as the person experiences tension, fear, trembling from excitement, forgetting what they say, locked. Therefore, it will be possible to use the empathy technique to change a person’s attitude towards speaking in a positive direction.
