GREENSBORO, N.C. — Body language plays a crucial role in communication and relationship building, especially within blended families. Nonverbal cues can convey emotions, intentions, and comfort levels, impacting how family members interact and feel toward each other.
The more comfortable and relaxed you are when talking and interacting with others, the more comfortable they will be. This means that if you’re more comfortable smiling, then smile. If you’re more comfortable sitting near someone, then sit near them. If you find something funny, then laugh. It’s the authenticity of your interactions that makes people comfortable.
A body language mistake to avoid is grandiose, over-the-top exaggerated facial expressions, gestures, and mannerisms because they come across as fake or trying too hard. Remember that body language can be interpreted differently depending on context. This means that you have to consider the situation and the dynamics when reading body language.
