    Barriers

    "In many communications, the message (what is said) may not be received exactly the way the sender intended." (p.10)
    Many times we have gut feelings on what people are gonna say but sometimes things take a turn and we are strike with something different. Sometimes things may come off wrong and the person receiving the message can take it the wring way and this can cause conflicts.

    Anger

    "Anger is another example of a psychological barrier to communication, when we are angry it is easy to say things that we may later regret" (p.11)
    When we are angry our tone comes off more harsh and we say things we don't mean. To resolve this problem you could try to keep space from others and try to think of positive things that make you happy.

    Attitude

    "Attitudinal barriers are behaviors or perceptions that prevent people from communicating effectively." (p.12)
    When you have a bad attitude about things you have already yourself decided how things will turn out. Having a positive outlook in things will not only make others around you happy but you yourself will be happier. That's why you should have a good attitude about things and always try ti see the bright side of things.

    Personal Connection

    My sister Maddie was given a choice of choosing between 3 different levels for gymnastics. I'm sure her coach was sure she would choose the highest level. For a week straight my sister had the biggest internal conflict and had no idea what level to choose. She would get mad at anyone who asked about it and in general she had a bad attitude about it all. She could of handled this way better by maybe talking to someone about it or take time to reflect on what the best choice would of been for her.
