What Is Nonverbal Communication and Body Language?<\/h3>\n

Nonverbal communication is communication without using words \u2014 simply put. Body language is a small part of this communication and mainly focuses on different body gestures and facial expressions.<\/p>\n

At first, this may not sound like much \u2014 how can someone say something without using words? Can you say \u201cI love elephants\u201d without actually saying it?<\/p>\n

But apparently, a lot can be read from body language. All kinds of information can be gathered from the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Facial expressions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Gestures<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Posture<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Touch<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Tone of voice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Speaking speed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Volume of voice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Physical appearance<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Stress in the voice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Personal space<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Clothing<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Hairstyle<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Hygiene<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Interaction with others (for example, how long you maintain eye contact)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • Timing (being late or early)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    One of the reasons to study body language is to become more aware of this \u201chidden\u201d communication and understand how it works. For example, how we perceive and interpret different behaviors and how we react to them.<\/p>\n

    We usually interpret and use nonverbal communication on a rather unconscious level. I don\u2019t think you tell yourself: \u201cI\u2019m going to scratch my nose now,\u201d<\/em> or think about why you scratch your nose in the first place. You probably don\u2019t even notice that it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

    \n

    But Why Should I Care? Don\u2019t I J<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    ust Have to Be Myself?<\/h3>\n

    Just be yourself\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s about gaining control over your communication.<\/p>\n

    Wouldn\u2019t you like to know how to communicate better in social interactions? Or how to recognize the mood and thoughts of others by assessing their actions and gestures?<\/p>\n

    See it as a great opportunity to further develop and expand your social skills. It\u2019s not about fundamentally changing who you are or changing your personality. It\u2019s more about gaining a better understanding of your social environment and acquiring the know-how to handle it more effectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
