miscommunication and misunderstandings
Miscommunication refers to the failure or breakdown in conveying information accurately or clearly between two or more people or parties. It involves sending or receiving messages that are ineffective, leading to a lack of understanding or confusion. This can result from various factors such as language barriers, different interpretations, or ineffective communication methods. Misunderstandings occur when individuals or groups fail to comprehend or correctly interpret the intended meaning or message conveyed by another person. These can arise from a variety of reasons, including differences in cultural background, personal biases, or inadequate listening skills. Misunderstandings often lead to incorrect assumptions, conflicts, or mistakes in communication.
