non verbal communication

well...this has got to be the most confusin and controversial form of communication today. as a young person im sure my fellow peers can relate to what im sayin. its always hard to figure out the next person's feelings,say you like someone and you jus dont know how they feel. what they tell you is one thing but the way they act...well actions speak louder than words right? you can always pick up on what one person is feelin by their facial expressions,the way hey act around you or simply the things they do.

comin from differnt cultures though is when the lines get a little blurred. take for instance my situation,where i come from the youth when you like someone you're extremely open with your feelings,and well its reciprocated but here away from home its much more different. the P.D.A's are much more limited and well you have to take your time to get know what one really feels for you cos they jus dont give away much from their actions or non verbal communication. everyhting is now different,the proximics, the kind of touch and the chronemics...its all different now and in one word its much more reserved.

so personally i think the greatest influence on non verbal communication is culture...our world is diverse and ever changin and thats what makes communication all the more interesting. i mean in france when greetin they kiss on the cheek right...but anywhere else that may not be acceptable...in japan that would be considered inappropriate. jus like how in japan its offensive to hold eye contact with someone for too long...they'd rather you look at their neck,but in america its a differen story all together...if you refused to hold one's gaxe they'd see you as untrustworty.

so it all depends on the culture,nonverbal communication can be simple or it can be oyur worst nightmare...it only depends on how much you're willin to see...
