its all about emotion......

Non-verbal communication play a very important role in our everyday life. Besides that, emotion also has its role in our daily communication. Altough people often explain and reveal emotions verbally, nonverbal expression communicate a great part of your emotional experience. We often express our feelings through facial expression, posture, gesture, eye movements and dilation of your pupil.

Widely, nonverbal messages often help people to communicate unpleasant messages. Writing about this nonverbal communication involving emotion, i personally went through a situation where i had to convey nonverbal messages to a person called K.

All of this happened few weeks ago when K became friends with me and my friends. It was fine at first but as days went, the true color of K started to reveal. And the result was not pleasing.
I was not the only one who realised it. So somehow or rather my friends and i did not feel comfortable with her presence. What we did was, we avoided eye contact with her and we created a big distance between us and her. In short, we disconfirmed her.

I believe we did not hurt her feelings by telling her that we dont like her presence, but somehow she would have understood that something is wrong.

As the whole, we can see that nonverbal messages are very powerfull. It can also help us to pass a message that we or the other party feel uncomfortable about putting it into words.
