A while ago I realized that I am a natural speaker of sign language, it is true that when cataloguing this particularity there is not yet a term set for tam, let’s say I am one of those people who cannot share a story without their hands following it.
“I’m not who I am, I’m what I do with my hands.
? Louise Bourgeois?
This mimicry is fundamental and accompanies my testimonies.
This style of communication appears especially when I want to give energy to my messages, as if I want to push my words to clash strongly with my interlocutors.
When I started my search for scientific information about this particularity, I first thought it would have to do with a person’s level of natural expressiveness, however, recent articles have ensured that this feature involves far more social influence than you can imagine.
Socially, we think that the action of gesticular with the hands simply has a bias of “distraction” during communication. It is also true that it depends on the case or situation we are talking about, but in many situations you will have to agree that the use of hands attracts and helps make the environment more aware of what is shared.
A recent article on the subject in Forbes magazine supports the theory that people who speak of their hands develop a greater charisma, the habit of the hands that accompany and support us during vocal expression implies a strong dose of energy and attraction, because they express more emotion.
This result makes people much more related to those who have this habit, because it gives them a particular enthusiasm that we call charisma, a very attractive trait and generates power within the group where the charismatic person speaks.
For all these reasons, such people consider themselves good leaders when they think with their manual gestures about an activity related to convincing their audience.
People with this particularity, when using their hands with speech, show great sincerity, because often gestures are not controlled and express emotions with confidence and transparency.
Business Insider columnist Annie Paul confirms that it is also a difference of greater intelligence and knowledge in a conversation.
In another study, researcher Albert Mehrabian presented as a percentage the impact of a message: 7% verbal, 38% vocal and 55% signs and gestures, nonverbal language, so we know that the verbal component is used to communicate information and the nonverbal component to communicate personal statements and attitudes. Mehrabian says that, therefore, in a conversation between two or more people, the verbal component represents 35% and 65% are nonverbal communications.
Everything in our path is expressed. When we are aware of the power of language, both verbal and nonverbal, our senses sharpen and our intelligence develops.
If you are one of those people who has the power to be aware when using your hands in your personal communication, enjoy it, you will be effective in communicating and expressing your emotions with the people around you.
“Are my hands and feet chained to great dreams?
? Roberto Obregón?
