Body Language: What does it say?

Much of what we say to others is communicated not

only through words but, also through body language.

This includes our posture, facial expressions, and

gestures. Because body language plays such a

significant role in communication, it’s important to

know what your body is telling other people. You

should also know how to interpret other people’s

body language. Here are some examples of typical

body language:

A smile is usually a sign of friendliness and interest.

However, some people smile just to be polite. To get

another clue from people’s faces, notice how they use

their eyebrows.

Recognition and greeting are expressed when

a person’s eyebrows do a quick up and down. If

someone’s eyebrows raise up, the person is probably

surprised by what you are saying or doing. If

someone’s eyebrows are pulled down and together

toward the middle, this person is probably angry

or frustrated. People also use hand gestures during

a conversation to describe the size of something of

the way someone acted. Finally, be aware that when

someone keeps pointing at you while talking, it

could mean the person is angry or feels superior in

some way.
