Body Language
Body language is a language that is transmitted by posture, gestures, facial expressions, and the way we wear clothes. It is unspoken communication that is from a face-to-face conversation with a person. Even though that is an unspoken communication, the person that you are talking to will know what is your feelings because that person can tell your feelings even though you are just expressing your emotions through gestures and facial expressions, but sometimes you are not really expressing your true emotions when you are in a conversation between a person, we sometimes tell lies to what we are trying to tell by using our body language. For example, you are hurt, and when you are sharing with your friends, you just smile like nothing is wrong, but there are times that they will find out. The best person to know your body language when you are communicating with them is Psychologists because it is their expertise to know the behavior of a person.
We express our feelings through body language all the time. Me, I'm the type of person that is not expressive when it comes to communicating to a person or in a crowd, but with my friends, I can, like I can express all my feelings with them because I'm very comfortable when I'm telling my stories to them and not like some random strangers, I will never talk to them like I would just make a blank stare to them. During the first day of school, my friends told me that their first impression of me when they saw me enter the classroom is I'm like a rude or a mean kind of girl because of the expression on my face, as almost all of their first impression to me is like that, and I accept it because it's kind of true but, to tell the truth, I'm very kind, simple, and a bubbly girl. During the first day of school, I'm just silent and observing all my classmates.
Clothes are also part of body language. We wear different kinds of clothes every day depending on our mood. Sometimes we wear sexy, boyish outfits, and many more. For me, I love boyish types, but sometimes I wear girly and sexy clothes depending on my mood. I hate people staring at me when I'm hopping on the jeep, like what's wrong with my outfit? I mean, there's nothing wrong, but I just ignore their stares. I don't even wear revealing clothes to be stared at, like where is respect. People are wearing inappropriate clothes, and I get irritated because if you want respect from others, then don't wear clothes that are inappropriate because there are people who wanted to look just your body rather than see who you are. When taking photos, make sure that it's appropriate, do not just post whatever you want because that would cause hiatus, and it will spread if people are sharing it, and the result, you are not respected by the people.
According to Jim Rohn, "effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know. In a conversation, it's not the words we read but through the body. Body language shapes who we are.
