    Body language conveys more than words, with over 50% of communication coming through gestures and posture. Specific gestures can indicate feelings, attitudes, and whether someone is listening, evaluating, uncertain, or feeling defensive. Proper body language displays openness through engaged posture, eye contact, and uncrossed arms, while defensiveness is shown through crossed arms, legs, or avoiding eye contact. Body language provides clues to emotional and mental states.
