may influence
this
process, ranging from miscommunication, loneliness and less self-confidence. As far as miscommunication goes, the most important is the fluency and not only the accuracy of the
language
's usage. If a
person
relies majorly on accuracy and focuses on grammar and vocabulary, they may never believe in themselves and have the courage to communicate in informal situations without their self-imposed thoughts.
