Non-verbal communication plays a crucial role in conveying feelings and attitudes without words. This guide explores various gestures and their underlying meanings. For instance, a head nod signals understanding, while rolling eyes may indicate disbelief. Other gestures include rubbing something to express suspicion, stroking the chin for evaluation, and clasping hands behind the back to denote authority. Be mindful of mixed signals, as non-verbal cues are often more believable than spoken words. Learn to read and interpret these signs effectively for better communication.
