I have been wrong numerous times when it came to reading nonverbal messages from a specific person I spent a lot of time with this summer. I had met this individual almost a year ago and only spent a very brief amount of time with him before he left to go back to his home in Hawaii. We had since then spent a great deal of time getting to know each other via phone conversations and connected very well. The funny thing is that although we were able to connect so well, when we were actually reconnected in Hawaii this summer, there was a huge amount of miscommunication between us. This I realized stemmed from our lack of previous nonverbal communication. Our reading of body language was just not on the same page and this would get really frustrating. Now that I am back home we have great communication again. So its kind of weird overall and hard for me to explain but I think the more in tune two people are with each other and more they really pay attention to each other, it is much easier to use nonverbal communication.
