Non-Verbal Communications=D

We all know that while we communicate,
there is always the presence of verbal as well as nonverbal communication

So, what is the function of nonverbal communication?
I will not follow what the text book says..
cause it is kinda boring><
Let me interpret the 3 most important function of nonverbal communication based on my point of view =D

The functions are :

a. To form and manage our impressions


Yea yea..like words, our nonverbal communication says it all
It is just like the analogy of "Actions Speak Louder Than Words"
Ahem..Let me give you an example :
I'm so sorry to all the guys here..I'll be gender bias for a moment =D

* You happened to see a cute and hawt dude smiling and waving to you *
What will your impression towards him be?

" Oh em gee...He's hawt and polite!!"
-Or-

"What a bastard, you think your smile works on me?"

*You happened to stare at a guy and too bad,he noticed you staring at him..a moment later, he showed you his middle finger.*

How will you judge him?

"What a sick bastard" Or " Oh my god..he's hawt"


b. To form and define relationship

Nonverbal communication in a relationship rocks to the max =D
In a relationship, nonverbal communications exist in various ways
For instance, holding hands, staring at each other, hugging, kissing, cuddling ectera
and to be honest,
I can just sit down and stare at the guy I loved for hours LoL
Apart from that, these communication style defines how the level of closeness between you and your partner or friends.
You will never let a stranger touch you, ay?
Normal friends will never touch you like your partner did right?=D

c. Emotional Expression

I'm sure that some of your friends could guess your mood based on your facial expression
Theoretically,
whenever we are sad or happy or whatever, our faces write it all-_-
For instance, when you are sad
You will never go around smiling like a fool
and when you are happy,
you will never go around showing your sad face.
For me,
If I am happy, I will be energetic
and when I'm in deep thoughts,
I'll give you the blur-est expression while talking to you
and when I am angry,
Har har har..
I'll be extremely quiet and
you better leave me alone
cause I'll be giving you the deadly stare and if you provoked me more
I'm gonna shoot you from head to toe =D

That's the 3 most important function of nonverbal communication,based on Yin Jun's text book =P

That's all for now~


Sincerely,
Yin Jun
