a patronizing pat on the head, or a controlling grip on your arm.

differs depending on the culture, the situation, and thecloseness of the relationship. You can use physical space tocommunicate many different nonverbal messages, includingsignals of intimacy and affection, aggression or dominance.

Voice

Its not just what you say, its how you say it. When we speak,other people read our voices in addition to listening to ourwords. Things they pay attention to include your timing and pace,how loud you speak, your tone and inflection, and sounds thatconvey understanding, such as ahh and uh-huh. Think abouthow someone's tone of voice, for example, can indicate sarcasm,
