In the community last month, Mother Wang and Mother Liu each led their two-year-old grandson to play together. After playing, Wang’s grandson overthrew Liu’s grandson. The child who was pushed down was crying, Wang's mother hurriedly apologized and reached out to help the child who fell on the ground.
Standing aside, Liu Ma looked unhappy. Although her grandson was fine, Wang Ma said sincerely "I'm sorry". But Liu Ma frowned, without a trace of forgiveness on her serious face. Ma Wang understood Liu Ma's angry body language, and kept saying sorry, holding her grandson in a little embarrassment and left.
In the process of interpersonal communication, in addition to speaking, body language is also a part of communication. Not only that, the use of body language is sometimes even better than the language itself, so that both parties can understand each other's opinions at a glance.
is like the mother Liu in the above example. Although she did not say anything to blame, the information revealed by her body language is very dissatisfied.
Allen Garner said: “In interpersonal communication, people can express their meaning through actions.”
Freud also said: “All actions are meaningful.” Yes, no matter whether he is correct or not, all actions will be given a certain meaning by others.”
It can be seen that nonverbal communication plays an important role in interpersonal communication, and when used well, it can help us express our favorite feelings. It can also exert its unique functions under special circumstances. For example:
During the epidemic, I read reports on the Internet that Shandong assisted Hubei medical team members. They specially designed body language for such items as changing bottles, measuring blood pressure, measuring body temperature, injections, and drawing blood. Gestures to communicate with peers have become the "new posture" for fighting the epidemic.
Those "body language" greatly facilitated the transmission of information for doctors and nurses, saving time and improving efficiency.
Like verbal communication, nonverbal communication also has certain skills. We can use nonverbal signals to convey our friendliness. For example:
smile, open posture, leaning forward, body contact, eye contact, nodding.
These signals not only help us create a greater friendly and open social environment, but also keep tension away from us, and make freedom and success closer and closer to us.
President of the United States Obama 's public image is very positive, unmatched by most politicians. His secrets are gestures and expressions.
The hearty smile is Obama's signature expression, and his open attitude always shows friendly messages. In addition, his body always leans slightly forward, showing a proactive attitude. When he shakes hands with someone, he always puts his hand in the upper position, while his left hand holds the other person's right arm.
He opens the communication channel with the other party through his eyes, and nods his head to show that he is interested in the conversation. Obama has a talent for physical expression, which is also his charm.
In short, learning body language can tell the other person how we feel about sending or receiving messages. Expressing ideas through expressions and expressions allows our communication to give a certain meaning. So now, let's master it and use it!
