Miscommunication

Nonverbal Miscommunication
Nonverbal communication is one of the most powerful ways that we
communicate in our interpersonal relationships. Sometimes, however,
we may find ourselves unintentionally communicating something that
we do not mean to. This tends to happen quite often in intercultural
communication situations (when we are communicating across
different cultures). Provide an example of a time when you
nonverbally communicated something other than what you meant. Or,
use an example of when someone else nonverbally communicated
something to you that was different than what they meant. What
happened in this situation? Be specific in your example and also
discuss what you will do in the future to avoid this.
