Interpersonal relationship refers to individuals with similar tastes and mindsets entering into an association. Individuals who share identical goals and interests enter into an interpersonal relationship. It is essential for individuals in a relationship to get along well.
Let us go through various factors affecting interpersonal relationship:
Two individuals in a relationship must be compatible with each other. There should be no scope of conflicts and misunderstandings in a relationship. Individuals from similar backgrounds and similar goals in life do extremely well in relationships.
People with different aims, attitudes, thought processes find it difficult to adjust and hence fail to carry the relationship to the next level.
Communication plays a pivotal role in all types of relationships whether it is personal or professional. Feelings must be expressed and reciprocated in relationships.
Individuals need to communicate with each other effectively for better understanding. Do not stay mum as it leads to problems and misunderstandings.
Two people in love must interact with each other on a regular basis through various modes of communication such as telephone, emails, letters (though exchanging letter is now considered an outdated form of communication).
Staying in touch is essential for the love to grow especially in long distance relationships where individuals can’t meet quite often.
In professional relationships as well, colleagues must communicate well for a better bonding. Sit with your co workers and discuss issues face to face to reach to a mutually acceptable solution.
The recipient must understand what the sender intends to communicate and vice a versa. Clarity of thoughts is essential in relationships.
Be honest in relationships. Do not lie or hide things from your partner. Remember every problem has a solution. Think before you speak. Transparency is important in relationships.
Do not overreact on petty things in relationships. Stay calm. Be a little more adjusting. Be the first one to say “Sorry”. It will solve half of your problems.
An individual needs to be a little more forgiving in relationships. Do not drag issues unnecessarily. Fighting over small issues is foolish and makes the situation all the more worse.
As they say “Smile is a curve that makes everything staright.” Flash your smile more often. It works. Take care of your facial expressions while interacting with the other person.
Time plays an important role in relationships. Individuals in love must spend adequate time to know each other better. Frustrations arise when people do not have time to meet or interact with each other.
Even in organization, individuals must spend quality time with their co workers to strengthen the bond amongst themselves. Married couples must take time out for each other for the charm to stay in relationship forever.
Make the other person feel important. Appreciate your partner whenever he/she does something for you. Praise him/her in front of others.
Every relationship needs time and an individual’s effort to grow. Sit with your partner and try to sort out the differences amicably. Don’t be too rigid.
