Reasons why communication fails

• > People interpret the language differently
• > Participants are exposed to too much information that may not necessarily be relevant to the interaction, thus making the information hard to retain.
• > Participants are not attentive in listening and understanding the messages that they receive.
• > There is time pressure in expressing ideas, leading to unclear messages.
• > There is physical noise in communication environment.
• > The emotional state of the participants is not in good shape to communicate effectively, as in the case of communication breakdown.
