Non-verbal communication refers to the sending and receiving of messages through the use of body movements, gestures, facial expressions, posture, eye contact, touch, and other non-linguistic cues rather than through spoken or written words. These nonverbal signals can convey a wide range of emotions, attitudes, intentions, and meanings, often complementing, contradicting, or substituting for verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is a fundamental aspect of social interaction and plays a crucial role in how we understand and relate to others. Cultural norms can significantly influence the interpretation of nonverbal cues, leading to potential misunderstandings across different cultural contexts.
