Body Language and cultures

Have you ever wondered why some actors are better than the others?? Why some people are so good in speaking and influencing the others and making good impressions!! Why some guys are more likely to attract beautiful girls than the others?? Why some persons are very lucky to achieve what they want even if they dont have all the qualities that they must have!! Why some people have such a charismatic personality and the others dont?

The answer is

Body language is the unspoken or nonverbal mode of communication that we do in every single aspect of our interaction with another person. It is like a mirror that tells us what the other person thinks and feels in response to our words or actions.

Would you believe that in real life situations, 60% to 80% of the messages that we convey to other people are transmitted through body language and the actual verbal communication accounts for only 7% to 10%?

Facial Expression Eye contact Gestures Head, Body Shape and Postures Appearance

A popular saying goes like this. The face is the index of the heart. What we feel deep in ourselves is reflected in the face. It plays an important role in face-to-face communication, we convey a lot without speaking a word

Every body knows that eye contact is very important in all face-to-face communication. When we look at the face of somebody we primarily focus on his eyes and try to understand what he means.

Surprise/ Fear

Disgust/ bad reactions

Happiness/ joy

Sadness/ depression

The physical movement of arms, legs, hands, chest and head are known as gestures. They play a very important role in conveying meaning without using words.

In any face-to-face communication or meeting or interview the way we hold our head, body shape and posture is very important. In the next picture you will see that every posture has an indication that reflects our psychological situation.

Appearance, for our purpose, includes clothing, colors, hairstyle, jewellery, cosmetics etc. All these may seem unrelated to body language. But on having a closer look we find that they are very meaningfully related to our face, eyes, gestures, etc.

Their hands or feet are tapping. One hand is clutching the other hand, arm, or elbow. Their eyes are blinking constantly.

They are rubbing or touching the nose, this indicates lying but, this can be also an indication of deception, doubt, or a negative reaction to what was said

They are rubbing their ring and pinky finger

They are blinking rapidly. They are constantly swallowing and clearing their throat. They try their best to avoid having eye contact. They look somewhere else and glimpse from the corner of their eye. They hide their face (often the mouth) while talking with others.

The mouth might keep a secret, but certain gestures could indicate that people are hiding something they dont want others to find out, such as: They walk with their hands in their pockets. They cross their arms. They hide their hands any way they can. They are sitting while their legs are under the chair

Somebody who is putting two rings in the same finger of two hands reflect that this person wants to find companionship and romance. The way of looking can show us the interest of the other person.
