INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION

Communicating is a way of expressing and sharing our ideas or emotions to a person. It can be done in many ways such as smiling, waving our hands to someone we knew, hugging, kissing, handshaking, and moving of the eyebrows up and down, or merely talking to a person. Even the winking of an eye shows communication. These acts have their own interpretation depending on what we have in mind to show. Any form of communication will do even without saying a single word as long as we understand one another. These acts also show interpersonal communication. It is a communication involving two people.
There are many things that communication does for us. It helps us to be able to understand what one wants to show or interpret us. We can gain friends, create a relationship, learn from it, and show what we want and intend to show.
An example of this is when we first meet a person. To show respect, it's good to initiate an introduction and introduce ourselves with a handshake and a smile. Just a simple handshake and a smile could flatter a person. He/she smiles back at us and that depicts communication. It indicates that we are delighted to meet that person and that we show politeness to him/her.
Another example is kissing. A kiss shows affection to someone we love - they can be our parents, our family, our friends, our boyfriend/girlfriend, or anyone close to our hearts. A kiss might also show respect or greetings. It might be a kiss on the forehead, the cheeks, the hands, or on the lips. That kind of kiss just depends on our relationship to someone and our range of closeness to that person.
The two examples above both show the acts of interpersonal communication. Even without talking, just a simple gesture emphasizes our own ideas or emotions to a person. But of course, talking too is essential in communicating. It is the most common form of communication. As long as a conversation involves two persons, it is called an interpersonal communication.
