Do you understand body language?

Question

At what times do you think it can be more expressive than verbal communication? When, how and why do you use it?

Answer 1

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
the touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever i fall
you say it best, when you say nothing at all.

so I guess Ronan Keating believes in body language.

Answer 2

I just love to read peoples body language, its one of my favourite pastimes.
It is amazing just how much we communicate often unknowingly without using words.
I use it knowingly when I need to take control of situation or when I am trying to show empathy or love for someone.
I probably use it unknowingly a lot more than I think I do.
From experience I have found it is something that is very difficult to do and maintain throughout an interview without seeming to be false.
One of my pet hates is someone who will not look me in the eyes when they are talking to me.
Grrr it irritates me so much.

Answer 3

Actually I have downloaded some books about this and I'm interested in this means of communication, and according to what I have read or listened to from different sources, body language has more to do than the verbal communication, in other words, the share of body language to help convey your message to the one whom you're talking to is greater than the share of verbal communication.

As Salaamu Alaykum

I know how to read body language pretty well. When someone is offended or likes me; I know they do without them telling me. I use it with my sisters when we joke around & stuff lol.

Answer 7

Eyes are windows to the soul, i like to look at them to try to figure out what is not being said.

I hate it when people use too many hand gestures and i feel people who do that are either lying or hiding their own insecurities.

I use my eyes to convey msgs to those who really could understand me, when i feel words would never describe what i truly mean.


@ Arabian Dune: wow that brought back memories, thks.
