communication
On paper, communication seems easy. Something bothering you? Tell whoever is relevant. Boom. Done. So what are the barriers to communication in day to day life?

- Or they might take my words in the wrong way
- Or I’m not close enough to them to say this
- Or I might accidentally say something inappropriate
