Not answering the phone/text/email? How can you talk if you can not reach a person?

I think it's the ability for some people to listen. Though, often enough many of us think we know that the other person is hearing us when in fact they are not.

Good communication requires good listening and then comprehension. If you don't have all three you are missing the mark.

Listening is a problem. Another is you think you say one thing. They hear something else.

Therein lies the difference between hearing and listening, the latter is becoming a lost art.

People who either talk non-stop and refuse to listen, and then once you force them to listen, the only thing they're listening for is their next opportunity to talk.

Annette - I was always taught that communication is a two way street. So if one is always talking and not listening, that is a big obstacle to communication.

Listening gets my vote. But as I was thinking, a lot of communications are destroyed by EGOs

Good morning Annette. At times I am right out straight, calling everyone back in a reasonable time period can be a challenge.

Most folks do not know how to listen deeply. They want to talk and wait for the opportunity to say their piece

Annette,
As someone who has done some pastoral counseling through the years my vote is honesty, or the lack thereof. If people aren’t honest with themselves and others real communication is very hard.

What is said and what is heard are often worlds apart. That may be the illusion that communication has taken place.

I think the biggest obstacle is understanding what the other is saying. We hear and put things in our context which might not be what was meant and vice versa. so confirmation that was was heard was what was meant
