as to me this is a personal thing. Some people listen and say yes, yeah listening but not having anything more to say or they look like listening but in fact they want to be somewhere else at that moment and to be not rude they say yeah/yes to support the speaker. and some show their discomfort openly by their movements, espressions or some hide being polite.
I heard Japanese accept people to undestand them by their facial expressions?
in spite of warning people verbally I try to make them understand what I think by my facial expressions but nobody gives a care about it ^^ (but I wonder if they care if I say it out either). |
Not out of topic and some great advice.
It's about all and any cultures..
