Misinterpretation

Communication is a wonderful way to put two human beings in direct contact. There are many ways to communicate, each according to personal goals, habits, skills. While there are different ways to express one's feelings, the most common is, of course, the spoken word. But not always is it easy to convey one's own message in a way that the other person understands. They can hear your words, but they may not get the gist of what you mean. You say something that is supposed to be funny or lovingly ironical, and your interlocutor gets offended. You believe you are describing something fairly well, only to see that they didn't get the right picture. But the saddest realization is that the person you are attempting to communicate with does not perceive your idea or feeling. Yes, the wrong interpretation of words can cause quite a bit of damage in human relationships.
