Abstract: Effective communication is crucial for mental as well as emotional well-being, playing a key role in determining the way people express themselves, build connections and relate to others. This research focuses on understanding the impacts of interpersonal communication on an individual’s life and how it affects their mental health. Through surveying 100 individuals aged between 18 and 25 years, we found that many participants struggle with talking or conveying their emotions, which leads to feelings of suffocation and difficulty in daily life. A substantial portion of the respondents mentioned that communication challenges often affect their relationships, while some reported experiencing worsened bonds due to communication difficulties. Our findings emphasise the importance of fostering open communication to enhance mental well-being and improve overall quality of life.
