【推荐2】Positive body language can tell you a lot about how someone is feeling. It shows that they’re interested in you and the conversation.
A relaxed posture shows a sense of comfort and ease. If someone sits comfortably and breathes calmly, he may be free from stress (压力). He will leave you an impression that encourages you to share a lot with him.
Arms relaxed also shows that the person is easy to get along with. For example, when you’re talking to the host at a party, and the host uncrosses his arms and opens his hands, you must feel welcomed.
Proper eye contact is necessary in a pleasant conversation. Looking into the other person’s eyes shows that you’re really interested in what they are saying. However, staring at others too long can be considered impolite. So proper eye contact also means looking away sometimes to avoid staring.
Nodding along is a way of showing that you’re really listening. When you nod while someone else is talking, it lets them know that you agree with what they’re saying and understand their meaning.
Smiling is an effective way to be kind and honest. Everyone loves being around people who always have a smile on their face.
