Both verbal and nonverbal communication are important in our daily lives. Nonverbal communication often expresses the feelings that we cannot put into words.

If I see someone in sneakers, shorts or jeans and a T-shirt, I will assume they are pretty chill. However, if I see a lady in a dress with heels or a guy with a tux, I am going to think they care about their appearance, have money and are important. Everyone has a way of using clothing as an expression;…

playing days, Plank despised having to wear a cotton shirt underneath his uniform and pads.

one I had about five years ago which is still fairly vivid to me even now because it had made absolutely no sense to me. In my dream, I was married to a young, blue-haired lady that wore regular jeans and a shirt, spoke in a language that sounded more like gibberish, and had a nose ring stud.
