Body language, somewhere down the road, was
like some Pop Culture kind of statement, you
know?
Somebody, I think there was a book, like in
the 70s called, "Body Language" and the name
sticked.
Non-verbal communication is a lot more than
just body language.
Non-verbal communication deals with everything
except for, like, the content of a conversation.
So right now the way I speak, my tone, my
speed, that's non-verbal communication.
The room I'm in, the setting I'm in, that's
non-verbal communication.
How far I am away from you, all non-verbals.
Body language is just like a fun term.
The actual term is non-verbal communication.
What's actually upsetting is body language
has made itself, has slowly, like, permeated
academic literature.
So, I'm just, like, you really shouldn't be
saying, you know, the person's body language.
You should be saying the person's non-verbals
or the person's non-verbal methods for communication.
So that's why we're the Non-verbal Group and
not the Body Language Group.
It's a lot more scientific, I'd say.
