• One person should talk about something they enjoy doing,
such as a hobby. The other person, without speaking, should
use body language to convey a negative response, such as
crossing her arms, looking at something else, fidgeting, and
rolling her eyes. After a minute or two, switch roles and
repeat. At the end, discuss how it made the person speaking
feel. Focusing on negative nonverbal responses helps you to
become aware of them in your own behavior and to avoid
them when communicating.
