You and your friend are having a discussion about politics. Even though you don’t both agree about most political topics, you are both trying to be respectful and maintain a friendly atmosphere. The more you talk, the angrier you each get about the topic but you try to maintain a quiet voice and a smile on your face. Suddenly your friend gets very angry and yells that you are being stubborn, not listening to her, and treating her like someone who does not know what she is talking about. You are totally confused but later as you think about it you realize you have given off nonverbal cues that may have given her this impression. Describe what nonverbal cues have to do with communication and what your nonverbal cues are that may lead people to think you are not paying attention or not agreeing with them?
