Body language accounts for a great deal of the communication that goes on between two people. This is why phone conversations and online conversations are less fulfilling and more frustrating than in-person conversations. Body language helps people to channel their message more without using grand words. There are different ways on how you can use your body language to make your message more clearer and exact. Knowing how to use your body language is essential to communicate effectively. And of course, action will always be louder the words.

    Body language helps tell how interested two people are for each other. Are they standing near each other? Leaning on the same part of the table or wall? Facing each other fully? Making eye contact? These are just one of the many clues that the people are interested in each other.

    Body language also helps to demonstrate how connected people are. When two people are very in-sync, they will typically mirror each other's body language and posture. For instance, when one person crosses their legs, it means that they are closed and is not willing to listen to whatever the other party has to tell.

    Body language can also tell someone that you are not interested. Crossing your arms, turning away slightly, frowning, and keeping your lips tightly sealed are good ways of showing that you're just not that interested.
