Internal and External Noise



The "noise" in our communication plays a huge role! I'll be talking to friend at school and then I realize I haven't been listening to a word she's been saying because I was listening or watching something else that was near me. Do you ever have to tell your younger sibling to just shut up sometimes because your favorite song is on? I have to all the time! These are all things that are apart of external noise, because they take part around us. Another type of interruption to our communication is internal noise. I personally think this is the noisiest of the two. When I am stressed out, my brain is working at top speed and thinking of all the things I need to do. When I am bored in class, I start thinking of other things and day-dream. Then I'm lost in class on what we are doing because I had tons of things going on in my head. Everybody struggles with the noise inside their own head, and it can be quite annoying at times. Unlike external noise where you can do some things to limit the interferences, you can't really shut out the thoughts you have that are in your head.
