Silent Messages

Silent messages refer to non-verbal signals and subtle cues that convey meaning without words, such as facial expressions, gestures, posture, eye contact, or tone of voice. They form a key part of communication because they can reinforce, contradict, or add nuance to spoken words, providing insight into a person's true feelings or intentions. Recognizing silent messages helps in better understanding interactions, improving relationships, and interpreting context beyond what is explicitly said. These cues are often subconscious but play a vital role in effective communication across various settings.
