1. Facial Expressions- Even though we only have one face, it can exhibit a wealth of
expressions. From a half smile, to a full-blown smirk, to a casual eye shift, our
facial expressions demonstrate a range of emotions.
2. Gesture and Movement- a movement that you make with a part of your body,
especially your hands, to express emotion or information.
3. Eye Contact- People place a lot of stock in eye contact. If you're talking to
someone and they don't look up at you at all, you're going to feel put-off and
ignored. But, the fact that someone's looking down a lot can also mean they're
shy. Someone lacking in confidence tends to have trouble making and
maintaining eye contact.
4. Physical Touch- that refers to the ways in which people and animals communicate
and interact via the sense of touch
5. Nod- tilting your head up and down. It is a sign that you are agree on something.
8. Behavior- behavior such as movements that indicate that you are calm and
unaffected.
