Body Language

Body language is the way to extend a message about what we think or feel to other people without verbal communication but use the body movement instead. There are many kinds of body language, such as eye contact, facial expression, and hand movement.

1. Eye Contact

Eye contact is one kind of body language that is used by someone to show what he thinks and

feels about something, which is emitted by his gaze.

From eye contact, you can expect the condition of one person. Whether when you talk to

someone, he gives you an attention or not. Whether he gets bored to have a conversation with

you or not. And probably you will find whether they lie to you or not. Look, why do i say

probably for the last condition ? Why don't i say surely ? Because, for some people, they are

smart to hide what they are thinking / feeling. They can fake their eye contact in order to

make other people wouldn't realize their plan or their real aim. That characteristic usually

belongs to a good liar.

On the other hand, there are some people who are kind of timid person. They usually don't

want to have eye contact with the person whom they talk. It's not because they have a

certain aim which they don't want anyone knows it, but they just feel shame or unconfident.

That's different with a liars who don't want to have eye contact or fake their eye contact

because of some reasons that they don't like anyone knows about it.

2. Facial Expression

Facial expression can be explained as the interrelatedness between some parts of people's

face, such as lips, eyebrows, and eyes) which from their combination can show about what

people feel. There are some expressions that can be shown by facial expression like angry,

sad, and happy.

When a person gets angry, his eyebrows will fit together, his eyes become narrow and there is

no smile on his lips. When someone feels sad, his eyes will be gloomy, like there's no light, his

lips will turn down and we can also expect that he has no spirit at all. Different from the

others, happy expression will be very nice to see. The person that has a good day, his smile

becomes wide and shows his teeth. His eyes will shine brightly and his eyelids open

widely. Also you can see that the eyebrows are in the normal position.

3. Hand Movement

Just like eye contact and facial expression, hand movement also can be explained as one kind

of body language that shows about people's thinking towards their environment. For example,

a woman who is nervous when she has a conversation with a guy whom she likes, she usually

makes herself busy by tidy her hair up with her fingers. When people are thinking something

deeply, they usually touch their chin and stroke it. When someone gets angry, they will shake

their fists or maybe they hit their fist to the wall.

Well, those are about body language. The most important that we have to know is be careful to show your body language. Because your body language will affect other people's thinking about you. So, if you don't want people get missunderstand about you, all you have to do is just be calm down in every condition of your life. Regain composure and show your best body language.
