Why is learning body language useful?First, body language is a subset of the larger field of study: nonverbal communication.Body language are more honest than the words we utter. Body language helps us to understand what the other person is truly communicating to or telling us. This is why it is important. When we listen, we do not listen only with our ears. We listen with all our senses, with all our heart and body.It is a usefull means for determining qualities or warning signs, for things like truthfulness, obfuscation, anger, misrepresentation, fear, and a host of other motivation factors, that could go to evaluating another's trustworthiness.Over 90 percent of the affective aspect of human communication is communicated nonverbally. Consequently, learning about body language is an important first step in "reading" people's emotions.How important are emotions to the process of communication? Very, the human species is an emotional species.Learning body language is like learning a new language. You get to understand how nonverbal and verbal human behavior (and hints) act as an important tool of communication/interaction between people unconsciously.By becoming more knowledgeable about body language, you are able to depict and interpret people's attitudes, moods, motives, and intentions before that person even reveals it to you (and this can serve you well when it comes to manipulative and shady people). By this, you may feel that you are able to read people's minds, but body language is only the act of predicting a person's mental or physical movements towards communication. You can't read minds with body language.For this reason learning to converse is useful. There's information in body language. You can tell if someone is lying, or nervous, or happy. Their body language, paired with what they actually say, gives you an understanding of what is going on that you don't get from just words.NOW, If you are sick and tired of misunderstanding other people, do not hesitate, to begin improving your own mental state and learn to read other people today!
