Today many people still do not have the ability to communicate effectively within interpersonal relationships. It is through teamwork and collaboration that effective communication occurs. By analyzing and studying the communication process we can improve our ability to communicate effectively with each other. To have a successful interpersonal relationship you must first interact with others, which is called interpersonal communication (Hybels & Weaver pg.156). Recognizing emotions in others is a very important first step in building a relationship. If you can't feel what someone else is feeling, you can't connect with them on a personal level, and that can hinder your relationship process. Interpersonal communication is important because of the purpose to be achieved. Whenever we want to stay in communication with another person, we try to share ideas and feelings. We can also provide information through a wide variety of verbal and nonverbal signals. Verbal communication has enormous effects on many aspects of life, including interpersonal relationships. Communicating with others verbally or nonverbally is a necessity for daily life. Verbal communication is organized by language; non-verbal communication does not. Most of us spend working hours communicating our knowledge, thoughts and ideas with others. On the other hand, most of us do not realize that much of our communication is nonverbal, as opposed to oral and written reports. Nonverbal communication includes facial expressions, eye contact, tone of voice, posture and body movements, and positioning within groups. It can also include how we wear clothes or how quiet we are. In person-to-person communications our thoughts are set on several levels at once. If the nonverbal cues and spoken message are strange, the flow of communication is blocked. Right or wrong, the recipient of the communication tends to base the sender's intentions on the nonverbal signals he receives. Before a person makes an effort to form an interpersonal relationship, they must decide what attracted them to this person and why they want to have the relationship. There are many factors that make up attraction to others. Physical attractiveness, perceived gain, similarities, differences, and closeness are some of them (Hybels and Weaver, 2007). Most people are attracted to others because of their appearance, the same personality and the same upbringing. Some people might have different characteristics that someone might also be attracted to. If a person isn't attracted to your appearance, they mostly won't approach or converse with you.
