Red Diary Day23.


Day23.

THEME : Body Language
TITLE : Which One Is Better to Communicate?’

 

Is using body languages important when people talk? Or, is using only words important when people talk? Both are totally important to communicate.

Now, I’d like to talk about body languages. Body language consists of many things which are body postures, gestures, facial expressions, eye movements and so on. And the body language includes conscious and unconscious actions.

On the one hand, unintentional body languages are making an eye rub, a chin rest, a lip touch, a nose itch, a head scratch, and an ear scratch, crossing arms cross and a finger lock and so on.

On the other hand, intentional body languages are nodding people’s head to show understanding, pointing to indicate something, touching to express their feelings, crossing arms to protect from barriers and so on.

When we use body languages, the body languages are involved in many meanings. Whenever we want to emphasize a point or relay a message or posture, we can make boredom or great interests known to others and convey encouragement or caution by using body languages. For example, widening eyes mean appeal, invitation and interests. And Frequent blinking of eyes means a sign of excitement or pressure. Oppositely, infrequent blinking of eyes means boredom. In addition, intertwining legs when sitting especially women means insecurity or sexual posing. Like this, whenever people communicate to each other, they are liable to use gestures consciously or unconsciously.

As the proverb goes, “Actions speak louder than words”. It is more effective to act directly than to speak of actions. However, it can sometimes have misunderstanding about action. Before talking, if we use body languages directly, we can have misunderstanding to each other.  

As an outcome, in my perspective, using appropriate body languages are very important to communicate. Not only to express people’s feelings and ideas, but also the more body languages people use, the closer to each other people are. Because when people use proper body languages, they excellently transmit their opinion to others. Furthermore, they express politely their attitudes by using body languages. Whoever uses body languages, others can be impressed on their mind. Therefore, when we talk to each other, we can intimately share our mind and feelings by using gestures, facial expressions and eye movements.
