5 - Body Language is also a Language
You must have often seen people who move their body way too much to expressing their message. I don’t know why they do it, but one thing is certain, “it doesn’t look good!” So, first of all, I refer not to move your hands way too much like them. Secondly, Body language is a language, so you have to use to show your confidence. Try to keep a little evil smile on your face, it will make you look confident.
“Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important” says a random image I found on google, but it is correct.
Body Language is very powerful too. We had body language before we had speech, and apparently 80% of what you understand in a conversation is read through the body, not the words. Just don’t overdo it.
