When communicating, we read nonverbal cues that people send through expressions and body language. These nonverbal cues include facial expressions, body movements, gestures, eye contact, touch, and physical proximity, which convey emotions, attitudes, and reactions often more powerfully than words alone. Nonverbal communication is a critical part of how people connect and understand each other beyond spoken language.
