Say it with your body - Thomas

It’s said that the body talks or at least that it expresses all of our feelings. But are we conscious of this language? It may be something that we cannot take under control.

Talking with our body is an usual way to communicate with other people. It´s common and universal: maybe if you see a Chinese person laughing with craftiness, you will know he is probably making a joke. And it’s not something that we can hide. Because we don’t want to do it consciously: it just happens.

I think that if you know a person you will detect the action quickly. For example, my brother has a lot of these gestures: if he is irritated with someone who is too bossy he makes a grimace with his eyes. And when he is scared of something, for example, heights, his body gets tense.

In conclusion we have seen that our body can talk and it does it without our permission. It´s nice because you can recognise how people feel without asking.
