not they trust you. Unfortunately, many people send confusing nonverbal signals without even knowing it.

　　Jack, Ted and Arlene are all speakers who have got disastrous results while communicating with others.

　　Jack believes he gets along great with others, but if you were to ask any of them, they would say that Jack makes them feel afraid. Rather than just look at you, he seems to eat you with his eyes. And he often shakes your hand so hard that it hurts. Jack is a caring guy who secretly wishes he had more friends, but his

　　nonverbal awkwardness (笨拙) keeps people at a distance.

　　Ted is good-looking, hard-working, and a smooth talker, but he seems to care more about his thoughts than others. When someone has something to say, Ted's wild eyes make him look like he wants to speak before they have finished. His inability to listen to others makes him unpopular with many people.

　　Arlene is funny and attractive, but even though she keeps laughing and smiling, she looks nervous. Her shoulders and eyebrows (眉毛) are noticeably raised, her voice is high, and her body is stiff (僵硬的). Being around Arlene makes many people feel uncomfortable.

　　These smart, well-intentioned people try their best to connect with others. The sad thing is that they have no idea of the nonverbal messages they communicate. If you want to communicate effectively, avoid misunderstandings, and enjoy trusting relationships, it's important to understand how to use body language.
