Body Language Non-Verbal Communication
What people are saying (ie. the words they speak) and what they are really saying (their intentions, emotions, hidden agenda's etc.) can be very different; • Some people lie. • Some people unconsciously oppose what they say • Some people pretend to be what they're not • Some people don't talk at all (but their body speaks volumes!)
Body language and Intent • Voluntary/Intentional movements - Usually called "Gestures". These are movements you intended to make, like shaking a hand, giving the finger, blinking with one eye... • Involuntary movements - Usually called "tells", but "ticks" also fall into this category. Any body movement you have no control over falls in this category. While technically not a body movement, sweating also applies.
Tone of voice and Intonation • Pitch of voice - high voice, low voice, intonation. • Loudness - Everything from shouting to whispering. • Breathing - Slow, fast breathing, shaky voice.
Happy/joy • Your forehead is relaxed, and may show light wrinkles as you eyebrows are lightly raised. • The corners of the mouth are curling up, sometimes showing the teeth. If someone's laughing out loud, the mouth is open. The cheekbones are lifted. • Your eyes show wrinkles in their outer corners (when 'the eyes don't smile', these wrinkles are absent; it's a telltale sign that someone isn't really happy).
Anger • Your forehead is pushed together in a frown, pushing down the eyebrows. Oftentimes your teeth are showing, with snarling lips and depressed corners of the mouth. • Your nostrils are standing out and the nose is wrinkled. • The eyes are bulging out, putting tension on the eyelids.
Sadness • The corners of your mouth is depressed, often with a shaking lower lip. The eyebrows are squashed together, and the forehead is frowning. • The skin around your eyes is pulled in, and the eyes are tearing up (or even crying). • Wrinkles are forming from the nostrils to the corners of your mouth.
Scared • Eyes are getting big, and the eyebrows go up and then down again. • Your lips are stretched outwards, and your lower lip is pulled down. • Your skin will look pale, as blood is retracted from your head, and sweat can form on your forehead.
Surprise • When you're surprised, your eye brows are pulled up high, making your eyes wide open, and your forehead wrinkled. • Your mouth opens as your jaw muscles relax and your lower jaw drops.
you reveal things about yourself with how you place your arms and legs. Are you: • Open or Closed? • Confident or Insecure? • Interested or Bored? • Dominant or Submissive? • Happy or Depressed? • Successful or a Loser? • Leaving or Staying?
