Communication is all around us, from the day we are born and for the rest of our lives. There are many ways to communicate, from verbal to non-verbal, effective communication is essential to success both in your personal relationships and in the workplace. There are all different types of communication that people will use throughout their lives. The most important type of communication is interpersonal communication. In this article I will write about my communication with one of my best friends, Martha. I've known my best friend since we were both three years old. We grew up together because our parents were good friends. Few people can see that they have a friendship with another person for most of their life. I had the chance to do it. Interpersonal communication differs from other forms of communication in that there are few participants involved, the participants are very close to each other, many sensory channels are used, and the feedback is immediate. My best friend Martha and I had known each other since we were toddlers, growing up close, living in a house far away from each other the majority of our lives. The way we communicate, a lot of people would say it's more of a sister vibe because we're so open and close to each other and when people are around us we have our own little way of communicating. We are very similar in many ways, we have the same sense of humor, the same tastes and interests, but we also have differences. There is a level of trust and a lot of information contained and disclosed in our friendship that I could not divulge to anyone she knows, and a lot that I do not divulge to any of my other close friends. We always communicate...... middle of paper ...... expression, or gesture they made. Martha and I communicate a lot through nonverbal messaging just by an expression or gesture, you can tell what your best friend is feeling, thinking or trying to express, while other people can ask questions, we can just know by looking at us and understanding us. another. We could be sitting in a full room and still be able to communicate without others knowing exactly what we are thinking, for example if a handsome man walked into a room with my best friend and I just by glancing at your best friend, she would know what you are referring to. Nonverbal communication is an important part of any relationship because a person may respond nonverbally differently and send a completely opposite message to their verbal communication. You would always want to trust the non-verbal message rather than the verbal message.
