Communication

In a conversation, when one talks, somebody should listen so that one becomes a receiver and the other the sender and the flow of communication goes on. But what will you do when I stop talking? People misinterpret other when somebody stops talking. Sometimes some we don't understand that communication doesn't only mean talking. The important thing in communication is the content or the message itself. Can you relay the real message without deleting or adding anything to it? Listening is important yes but you have to observe a person's gestures too because it is part of the sender's way of communicating to you. So what does it mean when I stop talking? Go figure.
