Interpersonal communication is a dicey business, and all of us create barriers to effective communication, some of us more than others. It's natural and normal, and part of being a human being to be less perfect with communication than we would like.
The good news is that while interpersonal communication is difficult, we can all improve by learning about the barriers to communication that we create, and those that others create. By understanding behavior that muddies understanding, we can improve. On this page we'll explain many of the barriers to communication and help you become more effective at removing them.
