Is all communication behavior aimed at making impressions?

Not all communication behavior is aimed at making impressions, though many forms of communication do involve some level of impression management. People often communicate to share information, express emotions, or facilitate social connections without a specific intent to influence how they are perceived. However, in many social contexts, individuals may naturally curate their messages to align with their desired image or relationship dynamics. Thus, while impression management can play a significant role, it is not the sole purpose of all communication.
