com... commu.. communi.. communica... communicate?

When there is a 'screen' in the communication, everything comes out muffled - almost impossible to decipher and understand. This only relays as the other person "not hearing" what you're saying, or a feeling of distance as if that person isn't listening. Effective communication is key to getting your opinions, feelings, and thoughts across - and once the 'screen' is there it is extremely hard to not only find what the screen is, but how to get rid of it. It often leaves a lot of destruction, and is very well known for tearing people apart. Often these 'screens' are something so simple, but so deceptive and sneaky that they are overlooked and passed off as irrelevant. It's also really hard for two people to effectively identify what the screen is, because often what one person see's as the problem the other might see as something harmless. Communicating is one of the most difficult human interactions, and in return we end up with broken relationships and unhappiness that is overwhelming. What really makes it tricky is how we have replaced face to face communication with our technological back ups. Instead of sitting down, and bringing about concerns and fears and decisions - we hide behind our phones and our computers and cuss it out. If these are things I am experiencing, I can only fear for what communication will be for my daughters when they grow up.
