In our daily life, there are many kinds of communication between you and me. Generally, there can be categorized as verbal and non-verbal communication. When we communicate with others by saying words, that is consider a verbal communication. If we show our feeling or message without saying a word but using a gesture or body language, that is so called non-verbal communication. For the topic on today, let us focus on non-verbal communication.
In non-verbal communication, there are many sub categories like body language, body appearance, facial expression and so on. Body language is send through body movement such as emblems, illustrators, affect displays, and many more. All those are the natural respond when you encounter with particular situation. What will you do when you see a huge crocodile in front of you? I think most of us will run as fast as we can without saying a single word. This is considered part of the body languages.
Body appearance is our height, weight, race, and hair color. If you are a tall guy, others may assume that you are a basketball player. Somehow, body appearance does bring some information to others because people can roughly guess about you. Whereas facial expression is something related to feelings. Happiness, surprise, fear, anger, and sadness are all the examples of facial expression. The feeling you show on the face can communicate with others. When you are angry, your face will turn red and others will know that even you did not tell a word.
In conclusion, non-verbal communication plays an important role in our life. It may bring benefits for you, but be careful that it may also destroy your image. Always analyze our own non-verbal communication patterns to ensure that we still able to communicate with the people around cheerfully although in a silent mode.
