Emotions

I am a 19 year old college student who has had many relationships, and I believe emotion is express in two ways. One way to express them is the things I say to another person that would express my emotions, although they are not always clear to determine. The way I would express emotion is by my body language. The certain way I react to people can tell how I feel about them.

The tongue is a powerful thing it can be used to express how I feel by the way I say things. Sometimes the way I say things can be mistaken or simple taken out of context. If I shout "shut the door" I might mistaken as angry, and the only reason I shouted was to get the attention of the person across the room. Sometimes I have to give body language along with what I say to make it understood how it was meant to be said. If I had put my hands up to my mouth making a cup shape to help my voice carry and said "shut the door" it would be clear to see that I was talking to someone far off.

Most of the time, body language by itself can show how I feel. I was talking to my friend and in the middle of the conversation they turn and walked away. My friend obviously did care to here anymore of what I was saying. Or if I hug a person it means I associate with that person in some kind of what whether we talk to each other everyday or one only once a year. Body language is hardly ever mistaken, because my body movements come directly from my brain's control so every movement has a purpose.

In my opinion body language is more useful than anything I can say, because it can paint clearer picture of what I am trying to get across to you. I always try to make sure that my body language and what I am saying match up, so that a point that I what to make good or bad can be expressed.
