Body Language

Body language is a key part of non-verbal communication that conveys feelings and messages through facial expressions, eye contact, gestures, posture, and appearance. It provides insights into what someone is thinking and feeling. Some examples of body language include crossed arms indicating defensiveness, foot tapping signaling impatience, and erect posture communicating confidence. Being aware of body language can enhance communication, but it also has limitations across cultures and with inattentive listeners.
