Nonverbal communication involves conveying information without using words. The ability to express yourself non-verbally in an electronic setting is important because the person you are messaging should know the situation. For example, if it is an emergency you would want to know like having a kid you would want those exclamation marks.  Also, it can include using facial expressions or hand gestures to emphasize a specific point or utilizing eye contact, physical proximity, and other nonverbal cues to effectively communicate a message. Some expressions I use over text are emojis and in emails I would use exclamation marks and use words like urgent and others.

Many of us pay close attention to and interpret nonverbal messages more easily when communicating face to face, but in today’s world, much of our communication is done virtually.  Why is your ability to express yourself non-verbally in an electronic setting important?  What are some ways you express emotion in a text message or email and have you had to adjust your nonverbal cues over time to ensure you are understood?
