Do you ever wonder what other people are thinking? Do you wish you could figure out what's going on inside someone else's head? Then read below.
Since ancient times, we have used our body language to communicate, conveying our emotions and thoughts to those around us. Each person out there has a different body language, encompassing not only facial expressions but also body postures and gestures. Even eye movement is considered part of nonverbal communication, being closely followed by touch and using one’s personal space.
Eighty percent of human communication is actually nonverbal; some experts argue it may even be more. Body language is considered an integral element of nonverbal communication, being used, consciously or unconsciously, to interact with other people. It is often said that body language will serve to complement verbal communication. Through our gestures, postures, and expressions, we are actually transmitting a lot of information about ourselves to the interlocutor.
It is clear that body language can make the difference between a successful interaction and one that is doomed to fail from the start. Basically, the information transmitted through nonverbal means will ensure proper interaction between two or more people.
However, due to cultural differences and other influencing factors, it is important to state that body language can sometimes lead to confusion or a state of ambiguity. One has to be able to use his/her body language to his/her own advantage, working at the same time to decipher the nonverbal information transmitted by the other person with utmost accuracy.
In the end, by mastering the art of nonverbal communication, you will have more successful interactions with other people, reducing the risk of misunderstandings, confusion, and social awkwardness.
