Understanding Body Language

Body language is a form of non-verbal communication through bodily behaviors rather than words. It includes facial expressions, posture, gestures, eye contact, touch, and use of space. Understanding a person's body language helps interpret their words and feelings. Body language plays important roles in communication by reinforcing or contradicting messages. However, interpreting body language can be ambiguous and prone to misunderstanding since meanings differ across cultures, genders, and ages.
