Language of the Body

After the extensive introduction I have made, let me try to explain superficially what this body language issue is, without going deeper into the subject. And of course, let me talk about the aspects that are used and misrepresented.

As you can understand from the title, I approach the subject as the language of the body. If you ask what has changed, when body language is mentioned, many patterns come to mind. If you stand like this, it means you are thinking like this. Phrases such as "If you do this, you are like that" are now concepts explained in "body language" trainings and seminars.?????

The reason why I consider it as "the language of the body" is physiologically based, and if we personalize the body literally, it can express certain events, situations and The body reacts involuntarily to experiences. These are the times when the sympathetic system comes into play in a person.

When we are afraid, bored, or angry, our body gives involuntary reactions (outside of the human will). Tremors in hands and feet, sweaty palms, dilated pupils, etc. Reactions occur beyond our control.

    In these cases, our body sends messages to the other party. We can say that he is talking in a kind of abstract sense...

    Frankly, this is the only scientific part of the work. Apart from this, the remaining parts are just cultural differences and subjective inferences. To give an example of cultural difference, the meaning of a hand gesture meaning "awesome, wonderful" in the USA and Canada is; In our country, "Are you gay?" It is the sign that represents the question.

    As a subjective experience, I can share with you an event that my friend experienced and told me. The fact that the father, who is going to meet his daughter's boyfriend, squeezes my friend's hand so hard that he breaks it off during the first handshake can be considered as a message given by the father's body. But it is my main duty to point out this here. We cannot infer that all fathers do this. However, we cannot deny the fact that our emotions and thoughts direct our behavior.

    Also, the subjective experience I mentioned or the subjective experiences given to you do not have any scientific basis. He stated in the introduction of my article: This is exactly the side that is used. Body language should not be stereotyped. We cannot and should not make definitive inferences based solely on people's body language.

    Apart from this, for example, if people stand with their arms crossed, we cannot say that they are closed to communication. If so, how can the behavior learned as "being a flower" since kindergarten be interpreted as "non-communicative"?

    With love...
