Recently I am constantly reminded of how much of human communication is non verbal. When you really think about that, it means that somehow we possess the great ability to communicate things with others without saying a single word. I am reminded of all the ways it is possible to do this, through our body language, eye contact, gestures, maybe there are other ways I can not seem to think of. Have you ever met a person where there body language seems to communicate nothing, or they are impossible to read? I wonder if that is a skill you can acquire, the skill to read other people through the way they carry themselves. I would like to think I am somewhat knowledgeable in this area, for how much people watching I do. Sometimes, when i people watch, I will make eye contact with someone and there seems to be a moment where our eyes say something to one another, but it is very hard to decipher what that message is.
My favorite time to communicate with other people non verbally is in crowded social situations. Instances when I can lock eyes with a friend of family member and we somehow know what the other is saying.
This ability to say so much by saying so little is an odd concept. I would one day like to go an entire day without a word and see if others and I were still able to communicate
