I really loved her and wanted to be close to her. But that's what came through to her, nevertheless. You see, what we do or fail to do says something. It is practically impossible not to communicate when we are in the presence of another person. Communication does not occur through words alone.
Communication is any behavior which someone else interprets as bearing a message.
We speak with our posture, our gestures, our face, our eyes, our eyebrows. We speak with a sigh, with a touch, with a tone, with a shoulder shrug, with the distance we put between us and another person, with almost any action we take. In fact, the experts tell us that 65 percent or more of all our communication is nonverbal. They also tell us that nonverbal messages are more powerful than verbal messages. If we send two messages which contradict each other, people will have a tendency to believe the nonverbal over the verbal.
