Paralanguage

Paralanguage can be described as the non-verbal part of a communication. After many years spent studying, reading, practicing, experimenting and failing at non-verbal communication I’m still amazed by the endless possibilities this field offers in our everyday life. 
The field itself extends way beyond the familiar “scratching your nose when you lie” or “play with your hair when you flirt” and these description can only be mediocre caricatures of everything the body tells during any conversation.
I like the idea of being able to use findings of this field for more than just catching a lie or perceiving a flirt. I like getting a customer to open up on the real concerns he/she has on finalizing the deal with us. I enjoy observing people, understanding their existing mindset and establishing a quick and strong bond with anyone in any social situation. 
So, let us start our journey that will cross paralanguage in all its splendor ranging from corporate communication to political propaganda, from door to door selling to down and dirty flirting tips… basically every communication that makes the world go around. 
Welcome all
