How do you keep communication barriers from interfering with your communication?

  1. I think the best way to overcome communication barriers is to find similarities between you and the person. For example, perhaps you both enjoy cycling. You now have a common interest that person; something that connects, therefore helping to overcome the communication barrier.

    Another thing you can do is to use universal languages. These include, but are not limited to, math, music, or drawing. With these tools, you can communicate ideas to a person even if they don't speak your language. You don't need to speak to each other to make music together, and the spontaneity of making music with someone whom you don't know can be an empowering experience.

  2. By using translators and figuring out what other people need through writing. A person who can understand both sides of the barrier can advocate for both so they can both communicate between one another. Also they can just keep trying to communicate until they figure it out.

  3. I don't quite know because if there is a communication barrier then most likely I feel awkward and then I can't keep the conversation. I just get self conscious and rack my brain for a topic to talk about but I usually can't decide on anything and dismiss all the thoughts I come up with because I think their immature, obnoxious, or just plain stupid. Sometimes I have really light conversation just so it doesn't get too awkward. Like How are you? What have you been up to? Stuff light like that. Comments about the weather how I am feeling. Etc etc. I don't know what else to say about this.

  5. I don't know......I just talk to the people I guess. Or ignore them...

    I have nothing else to say so I'm just writing random stuff that comes to my head now.

    I have to take the city bus from here to Burnsville today and I really don't want to. It takes to long and I hate that the bus comes earlier than my old one when I took a bus to Apple Valley. It used to come at like 4:05 so I had plenty of time to get to my bus stop and I didn't feel rushed but now it comes at 3:30 and sometimes I have to run if I forget my bus card in my locker. Also, I have to switch buses to get there and I don't like that. And there is creepy people at the place I switch at :/

  6. I think what you could do is to try to talk to a person is to find something in common with that person. You could talk about music, television, books, etc.

  7. I think if there were a communication barrier between me and someone I would try to work something out that would work for the both of us.I would try to ignore if they are not trying to work it out because I am not going to beg if its not that serious.

  8. I think if there was communication barriers between me and somebody I would just try, and figure it out but if that did not work then I wouldn't care anymore I would just cut them off my team. I think that everything can be solved somehow, but if they don't want to work it out then it is pointless to me to keep trying over and over again. If you don't like it then do not be with it.

  9. When you are not friends with someone, you don't anything to say to that person. But when you have friendship or relationship with someone. You want to communicate with them or you need too. Communication is all about telling whats new or where are you, etc. You always need to communicate.

  10. Well, I usually have problems with communicating because I either think too much about what I say or say before I think. Being the introverted person I am, I usually don't want to speak (or even be around) large groups of people.

  11. I'm a socially awkward person most of the time. But if there was a communication barrier I would try to resolve it with the person and try to push through it.

  12. I guess I would try to find something that me and the other person have in common and talk about that. But, if there's nothing else to talk about usually I'll just sit quietly and listen to the other person talk.

  13. I'm not really sure what I do when I conversate with someone that doesn't like me, just as much as I don't like him or her. I guess I don't really care much to talk to them, so I wouldn't. But If I have to talk to them then I would just try to handle things like an adult.

  14. I don't really put up any barriers to begin with. If someone wants to tell me something straight up they can, then I'll tell them what I think straight up. I really hate it when people are all: "Yeah about that.. I need to tell you about something... yeah..."
    No you just tell me. I ask for critique and stuff and everyone's all scared about hurting feelings or something. Anyways, I guess a great way to get across any barrier if you need to be is just to blunt. Don't beat around the bush, no euphemisms, just say it. You think your sister's boyfriend is an asshat? You tell her, she may get angry but it sure does get the message across. You don't like someone's art, say it straight up. They might get irritated, but at least they know you're not lying.

  15. Well I love talking to people!, I think communication is key in any friendship and relationship. You have to be able to hold an conversation with someone. I think that people are pretty awesome if they are able to talk have a pretty decent conversation I love it! <3 ! So yeah!

  16. I think that you could look at the person or even try to something the same and use that. I have this friend and we talk, but sometimes we have nothing to talk about so we just go and talk to other people. Sometimes I think of what I am going to say before I say anything that way I don't feel stupid or make the situation awkward.

  17. If there was a communication error with a person i would say it slower like they were a span child.

  18. I'm pretty introverted, it's hard for me to talk. I generally don't because I don't like to. Everything I say sounds stupid, I'm trying to change, but it's hard. I've been like this forever. Socially awkward.

  19. If there was a communication barrier I think you should try to find similar interest and talk about things you know. I also think that you should get to know more about the person that you are trying to communicate with.

  20. I think you have to keep eye contract. I will say lets just stop talking about this. I will say i don't feel like agruing with you. I will say that just stop talking to me before it goes to an another level okay. Then they still be talking. I will say it again. I will walk away it they just keep on talking.

  22. If i can't communicate with some one because we don't like each other or something like that then I would just stop trying to communicate with that person and stop being there friend.

  23. I would probably use a translator or actions to create communication between us. To overcome a barrier, you would have to find similarities between you and that person and then discuss that.

  24. I try to find other ways of communicating. For instance, When I was in deaf classes, I tried to use sign language as much as possible, and tried to listen as well as I could to speech. When I was unable to hear correctly or sign as well as I wished I could had, I would ask a sing language interpreter to communicate for me. It sounds lazy, but it was asking for help. It is important to know what to ask for help, and when to be independent.
