Some people have more difficulty than others with face-to-face communication, but we all could benefit by improving the way we talk to each other in person. Being face-to-face has advantages over other forms of communication. We can see facial expressions, body language, and gestures. We can hear the tone of voice, the volume, and the emphasis on certain words and phrases. We can feel the human touch of a handshake or hug and even sense the other person's feelings and emotions.
Personality may cause some people to be shy and hesitant while others seem to dominate the conversation. To improve the dialog, make eye contact, ask questions to clarify, and show interest in the other person. Respect each other, seek understanding, and try to have a balanced two-sided conversation. Take advantage of the opportunities to communicate.
Because of varying circumstances, we may have to settle for writing messages or talking on the phone or Skype; however, being next to each other and having a good face-to-face conversation may be the most ideal way to communicate.
