Communication barrier causes problems among people at every level. From an organization to family, lack of communication breaks down the whole working relationship.
What are the causes that makes you stop communicating or make others to stop communicating with you ? How come your spouses, friends, family change into a total stranger ?
What are your suggestions to break the ice and over come this issue ?
Communication barrier can caused by many things. Lack of motivation to get to know the other person.. fear that they might use the information to get back at u and so on ...
Personally I've experienced lack of communication with a relative, she was not the talkactive type (nor am I) so usually our conversations were very dull/boring. Since she was new I thought it was cuz of shyness maybe, but as time went on, I realized it was NOT shyness. I dont know wht were her reasons, maybe she didnt wanna tell abt herself or maybe she didnt have anything to tell? Everytime I tried to carry a conversation, she would either simply ignore me or she would just start talking abt her kids (I dont have kids, so dont kill me for not showing the greatest interest here :p) .. After a few failed tries I actually stopped trying to make conversations simply because I felt she was not interested in talking with me about something of greater meaning and well I dont like wasting my time hehe Now our conversations are just hello/hi .. and yes there is usually silence if its only the two of us in the room haha ... kinda funny, but thankfully I dont see her often
If it is with one person only they might have some kind of hearing problem. I have witnessed it . People do not know or hide that they have hearing problem and cannot hear you properly so they do not respond or like to talk much.
If it is more than one person , then you should review your behaviors and attitudes.
i dont really feel comfortable talking infront of people that i dont know, thats why i suck at the presentations in the college :(
i think it depends on the persons personality, i mean if u r quiet confident as an individual then it helps u alot in ur communicating, where as if u r the opposite then it creates problems.
So we have different types of communication barriers and due to different reasons. But i was mostly looking for the ones that we have with the people who are very close to us. Means at one point of time we can talk about any thing with them, and later we just can't even say hi.
