6 CHAPTER 1 / INTRODUCING INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION First, communication is a process. That is, communication unfolds over time through a series of interconnected actions carried out by the participants. For example, your friend calls your cell phone, your phone rings, you answer the call, your friend asks if you want to go to a movie, you say yes, and so forth. Because communication is a process, everything you say and do affects what is said and done in the present and the future. Second, those engaged in communication (“communicators”) use messages to convey meaning.
Develop a plan for communicating with the person in ways that respect differences while also appreciating similarities. 14 about past times together and exchanging expressions of affection fluidly back and forth. But some interpersonal communication isn’t transactional. You know that your best friend is feeling depressed over a breakup, so you send her a consoling text message in the middle of her workday. You don’t expect her to respond, and she doesn’t because she’s busy. There’s no feedback and no interplay between you and your friend.

Min Soo, a student at my university, expresses this view:2 Although I’m Korean, I grew up in Bolivia. Schools in Bolivia do not teach interpersonal communication.
