Verbal and Nonverbal Messaging

Verbal messaging is communicating with words. Some examples of verbal messaging is reading a book, listening to music, texting a friend, and talking on the phone. Most people think that verbal communication is just talking on the phone or talking face to face with someone. However letters can be a form of verbal communication because it uses words as well. Nonverbal on the other hand is communicating without words. Some examples of nonverbal messaging are sign language, posture, time, place, space, eye contact, and facial expressions. These things can give off both positive and negative signs such as rolling our eyes can show someone does not agree with something or having a smile on your face can show your happy. A personal experience of nonverbal communication is my friend did not agree with me and he rolled his eyes at me.
