What are ways to eliminate internal and external barriers?
There are internal and external barriers to communication.
External barriers are distraction, disturbances, diversions and discomfort. It is better to avoid communication when external barriers are present. Choosing a time and place without interruption is important. Also, a setting which is too hold or cold should also be avoided as this causes the listener discomfort.
Internal barriers are lack of interest and lack of understanding. Do not talk to people that threatens and invokes their defense mechanism. When such talk is needed, neutralizing the negative and reassuring the person has to be done. To avoid misunderstanding, things have to be explained carefully. This can be achieved by talking in simple words.
