Body language is the unspoken or non-

verbal mode of communication that we do

in every single aspect of our interaction

with another person.

It is like a mirror that tells us what the other

person thinks and feels in response to our

words or actions.

Body language involves gestures,

mannerisms, and other bodily signs.
