Nonverbal Messages...Week 7 Post 1

I have been wrong about peoples’ nonverbal communication many times. Once my boss was saying something he meant to be funny and as a joke, but because he had his arms crossed over his chest while he was saying it, I took it as him being serious about the situation and that I was in trouble. Also another time with my boyfriend our communication gets mixed up all the time. People can increase the accuracy in their nonverbal communication by taking a second to stop talking and really read the persons’ body language they may be able to be more accurate. Also reading the nonverbal cues by how they relate actually to what the person is saying will help a lot in interpreting the messages correctly.
