Miscommunication Between Friends
Misread a text or assume a tone that is not intended
In the current technology times, communication can be taken out of context. Friends can misread a text or assume a tone that is not intended.
Minor miscommunications are likely to happen, yet there should be open communication to resolve any misunderstanding.
Unread text, email, or a missed phone call with no response
Examples of miscommunication may be an unread text, email, or a missed phone call with no response. Having a conversation without asking for clarification can cause miscommunication among friends.
Listening with the intent to respond rather than active listening and bias or negative assumption and interpretation can create miscommunication between friends.
The best way to navigate through any relationship is to be open and honest and to share your emotions at the moment. Creating healthy boundaries helps your relationships by keeping the communication direct and precise and establishing trust and confidence.
Examples include:
Nonverbal cues
Body language and tone
Written vs. text
Assumption
Bias
Listening vs. speaking
