Body Language Non-Verbal Communication

What people are saying (ie. the words they speak) and what they are really saying (their intentions, emotions, hidden agenda's etc.) can be very different; Some people lie. Some people unconsciously oppose what they say Some people pretend to be what they're not Some people don't talk at all (but their body speaks volumes!)

Body language and Intent Voluntary/Intentional movements - Usually called "Gestures". These are movements you intended to make, like shaking a hand, giving the finger, blinking with one eye... Involuntary movements - Usually called "tells", but "ticks" also fall into this category. Any body movement you have no control over falls in this category. While technically not a body movement, sweating also applies.

Tone of voice and Intonation Pitch of voice - high voice, low voice, intonation. Loudness - Everything from shouting to whispering. Breathing - Slow, fast breathing, shaky voice.

Happy/joy Your forehead is relaxed, and may show light wrinkles as you eyebrows are lightly raised. The corners of the mouth are curling up, sometimes showing the teeth. If someone's laughing out loud, the mouth is open. The cheekbones are lifted. Your eyes show wrinkles in their outer corners (when 'the eyes don't smile', these wrinkles are absent; it's a telltale sign that someone isn't really happy).

Anger Your forehead is pushed together in a frown, pushing down the eyebrows. Oftentimes your teeth are showing, with snarling lips and depressed corners of the mouth. Your nostrils are standing out and the nose is wrinkled. The eyes are bulging out, putting tension on the eyelids.

Sadness The corners of your mouth is depressed, often with a shaking lower lip. The eyebrows are squashed together, and the forehead is frowning. The skin around your eyes is pulled in, and the eyes are tearing up (or even crying). Wrinkles are forming from the nostrils to the corners of your mouth.

Scared Eyes are getting big, and the eyebrows go up and then down again. Your lips are stretched outwards, and your lower lip is pulled down. Your skin will look pale, as blood is retracted from your head, and sweat can form on your forehead.

Surprise When you're surprised, your eye brows are pulled up high, making your eyes wide open, and your forehead wrinkled. Your mouth opens as your jaw muscles relax and your lower jaw drops.

you reveal things about yourself with how you place your arms and legs. Are you: Open or Closed? Confident or Insecure? Interested or Bored? Dominant or Submissive? Happy or Depressed? Successful or a Loser? Leaving or Staying?
