Explanations

 

1. Interpersonal communication is inevitable because the person lives in the environment, among people, therefore it is inevitable to sustain his/her needs
2. Interpersonal communication is one-end process when the cooperation between people cannot be reversed. Every act of the person is reflected and has an impact be it emotional, psychological and any other.
3. Interpersonal communication is complex because the verbal or non-verbal communication between two people actually involves 6 persons.
4. Interpersonal communication is contextual because every person lives in certain environment. That includes psychological environment (stressed, psychic, angry etc), cultural environment (Muslim, European, oriental etc), financial environment (rich, poor, sophisticated etc), and natural environment (warm, cold, dusty, dark etc). Every person acts in fusion of all these environments.
