Well at least you guys are talking. This is a major step forward.

Barriers to effective communications:
The choice of words or language in which a sender encodes a message
will influence the quality of communication. In the English language,
there are about 500 basic words in which are used everyday. These 500
words have over 10,000 different meanings. Because language is a
symbolic representation of a phenomenon, room for interpretation and
distortion of the meaning exists.
Misreading body language, tone and other non-verbal forms of
communication
Ignoring non-verbal language
Selective hearing
Hesitation to be candid
Distrust
Value judgment
Power struggles
Unreliable transmission (noisy, inconsistent)
Defensiveness (Defensiveness is a typical barrier in a work situation
especially when negative information or criticism is involved.)
Distorted perception (How we perceive communication is affected by
experiences. Perception is also affected by the organizational
relationship two people have. For example, communication from a
superior may be perceived differently than from a subordinate or
peer.)
Guilt
Distortions from the past
Stereotyping (Assuming the other person has certain characteristics
based on the group to which they belong without validating that they
in fact have these characteristics.)
Cultural differences (Effective communication requires deciphering
the basic values, motives, aspirations, and assumptions that operate
across geographical lines. Given some dramatic differences across
cultures, the opportunities for miscommunication in cross-cultural
situations are enormous.)
