The importance of body language in our relationships

There are people who agree and people who disagree with the statement. People
who agree with it say that body language is very important in our relationships and people
who disagree say it isn’t so important nowadays because most of the time our
communications are not face to face so that we can guess what the other people are going
through.

First of all, people who agree say that if we can read the signs then body language
will be a very important tool in our relationships. For example when we are doing
business, if we can “read” body language then we will know how far we can go.

Secondly, in a job interview if we understand the other’s person body language,

we should adapt ourselves with the spirit of the other’s person, so we can get more
chances to get the job.

Thirdly, the people who disagree think that, as we currently have access to the
media, especially the social media (Facebook, Instagram…) we don’t need to understand
body language, because we don’t see the other person.

As a result, if we understand body language, when we are watching a programme

on TV, we must pay attention to the way that the TV host’s tone of voice and their actions,
so we can see if he or she lying about what they are talking. The same happens when we
are listening radio, we can detect if the broadcaster’s lying by the way that he or she talks.
So, if we pay attention to the body language of the people who work in the media, we
won’t let our mind be shaped by them.

In my opinion, body language is very important in our relationships, because it is

a powerful tool to build successful relationships, both personal and professional. The way
we move, walk, listen and react in general terms tells the other person if we are really
being truthful if we care and if we are listening to what he or she is saying. So in order to
communicate better in all areas of our life, we must pay attention to body language.
