Social gestures are non-verbal actions or signals people use to communicate their feelings, intentions, or responses in social interactions. These include gestures like handshakes, nodding, waving, or gestures of approval like thumbs up. They help convey messages, show politeness, express emotions, or establish connection without words. Recognizing social gestures enhances understanding of others and smooths interpersonal communication, making social interactions more effective and respectful.
