Body language and communication

Communication takes part in many ways, not only with language. Some of our strongest communication takes place without any words, with a hint of a raised eyebrow, a yawn, a slouch, pursed lips, avoided eye contact, quivering lips, wide open eyes, an intense stare... all of these hints can be as small as momentary but communicate an what the individual feels.

Non Verbal communication may be used for good or evil..

Good non verbal communication may involve steady eye contact during a conversation, a smile, a nod, a hand shake, allowing the other person a comfortable amount of body space and having a welcoming presence.

Evil non verbal communication is the opposite of the above points, and More. Looking distracted during a conversation and not maintaining eye contact, yawning, doing other things while you are being spoken to, shrugging your shoulders, pursing lips, holding a frown, glaring or by reducing the personal space of the other person.

Different cultures may interpret some non verbal communication differently. Head shaking in India is not a NO gesture, but an indication that they are listening to you. A nod may mean Yes, but is also a sign of respect in some countries when done slowly and thoughtfully.
