interpersonal communication elements of feedback messages

     Today I will talk about the interpersonal communication elements of messages. For interpersonal communication to exist, messages that express your thoughts and feelings must be sent and received. Interpersonal communication may be verbal or nonverbal, but it is usually a combination of both. Messages have three types. Now I just talk about the feedback messages.


     Feedback is a special type of message. When you send a spoken or written message to another person, you get feedback from your own message: you hear what you say, you feel the way you move, and you see what you write. We can get feedback messages from everywhere. For example, you talk with your friends, you send messages to your friends, and at the same time you will get feedback from them. They will send you messages that indicate how they receive and respond to your messages. For example, if your friends understand and agree with you, they may nod and smile. You can use the information to improve your speaking or writing. We can have different feedback, some feedback will come later, and some feedback will come fast. For example, with face-to-face communication you can monitor the feedback of the other person as you are speaking. This kind of feedback will come fast.
