Communication Type

Communication is very important in today`s society. We communicate verbally and non verbally. Communication needs to have a sender, a receiver and of course a message. People get along with each other at work or at home because they learn every day how to communicate. Some people are more difficult , others are shy, others are mean. We have to learn how to deal with every situation and how to communicate effectively. Besides the verbal communication we all know, we have to pay attention to our body language. Through our body language we can send different messages so we have to be careful not to send the wrong one without even noticing.

Here are the Different Types of Nonverbal Communication we should know: the first one is facial expression. Our face is the mirror of our thoughts and feelings. everything we feel, every mood or state of mind is easily seen on our faces. If we are happy or sad, people can figure it out. The second non verbal communication type are the gestures we make. When talking to someone, people tend to analyze gestures, the way the other person talks, face mimics etc. We analyze without even noticing, we just make a certain impression without putting a lot of effort into observing. So, our gestures such as a handshake, the movement of the hand or of the leg are all things we should pay attention to and control.

Paralinguistics is a Different Type of Nonverbal Communication, expressed through tone of voice. When talking to someone is very important to say the words clearly, but not too loud, so that everyone can understand what you want to say. Saying some words on a more high tone could inspire fear or aggressiveness, the same words said on a lower tone could also mean shyness, weakness, disapproval. Our posture essential when talking to someone. For example the defensive postures, arm-crossing, and leg-crossing, are often used by so many people. These postures come to us without even noticing or control any of them. Also proxemics are our personal spaces. When you talk to someone, it`s best to take a distance of a half of meter. When talking to a crowd or a group the distance has to be much shorter.

The eyes are the mirror of the soul so, people can see immediately the sadness or the happiness in our eyes. Appearance is also a very important way to make yourself noticed. The way we dress, we arrange our hair, the way we wear a coat are all non verbal communication ways. Haptics , the last non verbal communication type, refers to communicating through touching. This method is not so used but it`s a way of communicating. Touching is mostly encountered at lovers.
