INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION

RELATIONSHIP IS COMMUNICATION, THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP BEYOND COMMUNICATION
RELATIONSHIP IS THE SENSE WE HAVE, IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DO
HUMAN INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION INVOLVED THREE MAIN FACTORS, SENDER, RECEIVER AND SYMBOLIC MESSAGE.
SENDER AND RECEIVER ENCODE AND DECODE THE MESSAGE INTO SYMBOL TO TRANSFER
HOWEVER, THEY ENCODE AND DECODE USING THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL KNOWLEDGE BASED ON PAST EXPERIENCE

WHEN COMMUNICATING, A SENDER DON'T ACTUALLY CONVERSE WITH THE RECEIVER. THE SENDER CONVERSE WITH THE RECEIVER IN HIS MIND AND VISA VERSA. PHYSICALLY, WE DO TRANSFER INFORMATION BUT WE DON'T ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE PHYSICAL CONVERSATION. WE FOLLOW THE MODEL IN OUR MIND. IN A WAY, WE BRING PEOPLE INTO OUR MIND WHEN WE COMMUNICATE. A PERSON WHO IS ANGRY IS NOT "ANGRY AT YOU", HE IS "ANGRY NEAR YOU". HE IS NOT ANGRY AT YOU PER SE, HE IS ANGRY WITH "YOU IN HIS MIND".

IF I AM ANGRY AT YOU, IT IS NOT "BECAUSE OF ME OR BECAUSE OF YOU". IT IS BECAUSE "WHAT I THINK YOU ARE".  PEOPLE'S THOUGHT, FEELING, AND BEHAVIOR CAN BE EASILY EXPLAINED IN THIS MODEL. FOOLISHLY, WE THINK THAT WE ACTUALLY CONVERSE WITH ANOTHER PERSON AND HE IS REALLY ANGRY AT ME.
