Summary/Abstract: Since ancient times, communication has been perceived as a fundamental element of human existence. The very etymology of the term suggests this: the word “communication” comes from Latin, “communis” means “to agree”, “to be in touch with” or “to be in a relationship”, although the term circulates in the vocabulary of the ancients with the meaning to “pass on to others”, “to share something with others”. The communication process is one of the indispensable conditions for the functioning and organization of society. The individual is called a social being and relates to the other insofar as he communicates with the other. Interpersonal communication is the most important and most frequently used form of communication. People cannot avoid this type of communication; their social existence depends on the ability with which they can engage in discussions with others. Family life, relationships with friends, professional activity, all depend on this quality. Interpersonal communication refers to face-to-face communication. This type of communication is important to understand yourself and to build your relationships with others. To achieve this, the capacity for self-analysis, selfknowledge, self-exposure and knowledge of barriers and disruptive factors that hinder the communication process must be developed. Not every relationship with a person is interpersonal. Most of the relationships we have with our peers are impersonal. In these interactions, the interlocutor is approached exclusively in terms of his social status or the role he plays in the given situation, without taking into account his individual features that give him uniqueness.
