I don't want to say I never make wrong assumptions when it
comes to nonverbal messages but seldom do I encounter that issue. Mainly
because over time I have learned not to assume things when it comes to
nonverbal messages. Growing up with my mother was very expressionless when
it comes to things, she is very straight forward, nothing is sugar coated. Even
when she is saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Birthday"
there is no smile, nor frown just neutral Therefore growing up I believed she
was mad majority of the time. Goes to show, she was never mad she just doesn't
show expression. So for half of my life I lived thinking she was angry. I think
I take after her though and don't express myself therefore I don't judge other
peoples nonverbal messages mostly because I don't even think about them.
However since I don’t think about nonverbal messages sometimes I may give off
the wrong one accidentally. Prime example is me being someone who uses their
hands to describe a lot of things and people always think I am crazy or mad, or
both.
