What is the importance of body language as a nonverbal communication tool?

Answer 1

It is difficult to explain the importance of this tool considering it is such a broad term. Personally, I think that body language is the largest step of communication used by humans. It not only allows our emotions to show, but your words to be better understood in a quick fashion.

For example: your having a conversation with your best friend when you realize that you have forgotten the name of the person you are talking about. You use several hand gestures, such as the lifting ofour palm to show height, so that your companion can try to comprehend who you are talking about. Surely body language is not always the most efficient way to communicate, but it is often the primary source of what makes you who you are.

Hope that helped!!!!!!!!
