Interpersonal Communications
Introduction
To be able to an effective communicator then one has to avoid miscommunication; this needs people to think clearly, well and a rich way about how they communicate (Stewart, & Thomas, p.53). All aspects of communication such as humans live in worlds of meaning; communication involves choices; communication is affected by culture; it involves negotiating; and conversations influence communication must be incorporated in ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in communication. Different people have varied experiences as well as thinking when it comes to interpersonal communication thus the tendency of each of us to have problems with communications with each other both when we are inhaling and exhaling processes of communication (Stewart, & Thomas, p.54).

Since we had been grown up together in the same part of town with similar life environment, so it was hard to find differences among children, so all we need to do was introducing each name, and that’s enough to become friend.
On the other hand, when I became older, and I didn’t change my way to make a friend: for example, introducing my name shortly, but it didn’t work very well as much as when I was a child. This made me feel insufficient in relationships because most relationships were not deep. I also noticed that I have a problem with communication in human relationships. This brings a major question what makes my human relations different during the several years since I was a child?
There are many changes that occur during growth which may result to affecting interpersonal communication among individuals. This creates either a...
