Reading

Reading on Social Cues

An informative reading on recognizing social cues and understanding body language.

Understanding Social Cues

Social cues are the signals people send through body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. Recognizing these cues can help you understand how someone is feeling and whether they are comfortable or uncomfortable in a situation. For example, if someone crosses their arms or steps back, they might be feeling defensive or want more space. Paying attention to these signals can help you interact more respectfully with others.
