The Effects Of Interpersonal Communication On Our Lives

Chapter four in the book Interpersonal Communication: Everyday Encounters explains that language has a set of predefined communication rules, which are taught from a very young age.

While only a couple for nearly five months, Izzy believes communication between the two is pretty good and that they are compatible. As Izzy’s best friend who has had the opportunity to observe their relationship, I have seen this compatibility demonstrated as they utilize nonverbal communication cues to send messages to each other. For example, the use of eye contact and head nodding to show they are listening to each other. It did take some time to reach this point though.
