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 that facilitate promoting 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 the personal and professional lives of individuals, they are unable to reinforce their connections with others effectively. When one has to deal with and work with others in professional settings, they need to emphasise overcoming the communication gap. In other words, it should prevent creating 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 understanding the meaning and significance of the communication gap, measures to be implemented for overcoming it, and the disadvantages associated with the communication gap.
