The problems faced by people during communication is known as barriers to communication. It is not till the network issues which creates problem in communicating each other, but their exists other problem as well which acts as a barrier in our communication.
Some of the barriers can be:
1)language barrier: If we talk to any person and we find that the other person’s language is not matching to ours and neither do I know his language nor do he knows our language, which creates problem in communication. Here the language acted as a barrier to communication.
2)Emotional barrier: Whenever we talk to someone and we intended to say something but the other has taken it in a wrong sense, creates problem between the two. This acted as an emotional barrier between both person as the one said something else and the other understood it in a wrong way.
3) Network barrier: If we call someone out of india or out of station sometimes, the network issues makes the call or video call disconnected, due to which communication cannot be done properly. Here, network acted as a barrierto communication . Here exists many other barriers which disturbs our communication which is called barriers to communication.

Communication is a process through which a message is circulated from 1 person to another through different mediums. But sometimes due to some issues the process of communication does not takes place sucessfully. The issue can be from the sender’s side ,receiver’s side or through medium itself. These issues that causes communication to become unsuccessful is called barriers in communication.
Different types of barriers of communication are-
1. Emotional barriers- Sometimes due to an incident or accident it becomes difficult for a person to express his message due to flood of emotions. Here emotions become a barrrier for communication and thus causes unsucessfull communication.
For eg- When a person is very sad and you try to ask them what happened but there emotions don’t allow them toh speak clearly.
2. Language barriers- If a person living in south India tries to have a conversation with a person living in North India they won’t be able to understand each others concern and end up have an unsuccessful conversation.
3. Lack of interest as a barrier- lack of interest from the receiver’s side maybe because of being an unknown topic aur lesser known topic can causes barrier communication eventually leading to unsucessfull communication.
4. Physical barriers- Physical barriers such as issue in hearing or diziness can also become a barrier of communication.
5.Talking too much- Talking too much creates a problem that the person does not sticks to the points and starts creating stories which are more boring and due to which receiver gets distracted and does not pays attention to the sender’s talk.
6. Lack of eye contact- Maintaing eye contact means the sender and receiver are vibing and understanding each other’s position. Lack of eye contact shoes lack of interest in the receiver which eventually becomes a barrier in communication.
