My own gestures
I know that on my last post I wrote about gestures that I had observed from other people, but I also decided to think about and take notice of my own gestures. I realized that I also share some common gestures with other people that I noticed.
During the week I noticed that when I was talking to one of my friends Shannon about where to find good places to dance that I would point and gesture with my hands to imitate how far something the place was from Simmons. I think that I did this, because I was trying to picture in my mind how far I would have to travel to get there and which direction I would traveling. I also used a circular motion with my finger in order to indicate that I would like to continue dancing. I think that many people use these two types of gestures, because pointing in a certain direction indicates distance, and a circular motion means something will continue.
Gestures have so meanings and they're interesting to watch.
