Communication Gap: Impediment within the Course of Forming an Effective Social Circle

Abstract

From the stage of early childhood, throughout their lives, individuals need to understand that they cannot live their lives in seclusion and loneliness. Hence, it is of utmost significance for them to form an effective social circle, comprising family and community members. Apart from family, there are other individuals with whom one needs to communicate. For this purpose, individuals must implement effective communication processes. They need to treat each other with respect and courtesy, and provide factual information. Furthermore, there are certain instances that individuals experience, which can overwhelm them due to a communication gap. They either lack positive feelings or experience unpleasant situations with others. Hence, individuals must implement ways to promote a typical mindset. In some cases, individuals do not feel comfortable communicating with others, and as a result, they become overwhelmed by the communication gap. However, when a communication gap arises in individuals' personal and professional lives, they are unable to reinforce their connections with others effectively. When working with others in professional settings, one needs to emphasise the importance of overcoming the communication gap. In other words, it should prevent the creation of impediments during the implementation of tasks and activities. Therefore, it is well-understood that a communication gap impedes the formation of an effective social circle. The primary concepts examined in this research paper are the meaning and significance of the communication gap, measures to overcome it, and its associated disadvantages.
