Answers
Answer:
There are many ways of non-verbal communications
Explanation:
Facial Expressions
The first, and most obvious, clue to nonverbal communication is a person's facial expressions.
Even though we only have one face, it can exhibit a wealth of expressions. From a half smile, to a full-blown smirk, to a casual eye shift, our facial expressions demonstrate a range of emotions. Instead of delving into all the nuances like a quirk of the lip or a twitch of the eye, let's take a look at the three most prominent expressions:
Smiling - A smile generally indicates happiness or contentment.
Scowling - A scowl or frown indicates discontentment or frustration.
Lack of Expression - An expressionless face can indicate, at a minimum, two things. First, this can be an indication or disinterest or boredom. Second, and perhaps worse, an expressionless face can indicate disdain.
An expressionless face is hard to decipher, so if you suspect you're exhibiting what's known as a "stone" face, it might be nice to pop in a gentle smile from time to time.
Eye Contact
People place a lot of stock in eye contact. If you're talking to someone and they don't look up at you at all, you're going to feel put-off and ignored. But, the fact that someone's looking down a lot can also mean they're shy. Someone lacking in confidence tends to have trouble making and maintaining eye contact.
If you struggle with eye contact, it's the kind of thing you have to practice in order to improve. Like public speaking, it must be practiced. And it's a nice skill to have, because it allows people to see you're engaged and interested in what they have to say.
Of course, extended stretches of eye contact can have the opposite effect; it can make people feel uncomfortable. You'll find the happy medium the more you practice.
Gestures and Movement
While the face is a dead giveaway for mood, the entire body is a barometer. Have you ever watched a heated debate through a glass conference room? Here are some of the things you might've witnessed:
Frequent and even wild hand gestures
Finger pointing
Arms waving in the air
Raking fingers through their hair
Invasion of personal space in order to send a message of hostility
On the other hand, if everyone's sitting peacefully around a conference table, you can still note nonverbal communication cues. What if someone has their arms crossed? Knowingly or unknowingly, they could be saying, "I'm closed off to you and your ideas."
Conversely, if someone's resting their hands on the table with a relaxed and open posture, they're conveying a message of openness and willingness.
What if someone is fiddling with their pen or coffee mug and not looking directly at the speaker? This could be a sign they're bored with the subject. Or, it might have nothing to do with the speaker at all. They may be preoccupied by their personal lives. Either way, it can be a signal they're not fully present.
Interestingly, fiddling is also a sign of excitement. If someone is fiddling with their pen or coffee mug but is fully engaged with the speaker, they may have a high level of energy. In this case, fiddling is their way of letting some of that energy out. It's kind of like someone whose leg keeps bouncing. They're either preoccupied, or full of energy and ready to rock.
Tone of Voice
There's not a lot of delineation in this example. If someone's volume is elevated and they're speaking rapidly, they're-in some way-excited. Either something's wrong or they're amped up. On the contrary, if someone is speaking in calm, slow tones, they're probably conveying their message without any cause for concern.
The way we inflect our words also impacts how they're interpreted. For example, if someone says, "I thought you were coming to Florida this weekend!" it could mean they hoped you were coming and they're glad to see you.
That same person can also say, "I thought you were coming to Florida this weekend," meaning, "Why are you arriving Sunday evening? You're late." So, the inflection of our words conveys a message as much as the actual words we choose.
