Many nonverbal messages are conveyed in an average everyday conversation that many are not even aware their sending. In a simple conversation with another individual many different things can take place nonverbally to have an effect on the conversation. When a conversation is going back and forth and one individual has not completed his or her story or what they have to say there are many ways to maintain the conversation by hand signals or increased speed and volume over the interruptions. Conversations must have communication back and forth and when an individual decides to turn over the floor and “yield” to the other person they might pause or motion the other person for their response or idea on the subject matter being discussed (103).

When you personally is the listener in the conversation and would like to offer your opinion in the matter but haven’t been given the opportunity to engage and enlighten the speaker you might start talking quite or start your sentence to alert the person talking you wish to speak which is called “turn requesting.” When a listener is interested in the conversation and the content and has no opinion on the matter or not significant enough insight to interrupt they just nod or agree with the speaker as to hint them to keep going. This display called “turn denying” shows the speaker you do not wish to interrupt and the floor is all theirs (104). Many techniques are used in our lives that we might not even be aware of but they impact our relationships and the way we converse with others and convey nonverbal messages through each one.
