In 3 days, I violated the rules of talks in 3 different baby-situations when messages to welcome myself next to nation I did non fill out were delivered non-verbally. I specifically acted against norms of proxemics. Proxemics is the area of nonverbal intercourse that focuses on space and outgo and a somebodys in the flesh(predicate) space. It is where you evaluate how intimate the relationship of deuce people interacting. The closer you discombobulate the higher the intimacy level the people must have. daylight 1thither was a male student academic session by himself on a bench outside of a lecture hall reading material Newspaper. For the most part, thither werent any former(a) students around and there were two empty benches close. I wanted to see his reaction when I sat next to him very closely and looked over his shoulder to obstructor out what he was reading. While I looked over the article, he late turned his head and looked at me then back at the article. He then l aughed a low and asked what I was doing. I smiled and I didnt say anything and kept looking at his face. He was trying to stave off eye contacts with me and prepared to leave. I explained to him what I was doing and about my goal to peter out norms of nonverbal communication to unsuspecting individuals. He thought it was funny and state that I definitely did make him feel very uncomfortable as well as very confused.Day 2The next backtrack on my nonverbal communication norm-breaking project was in the Student Union. There were two young women eating dinner at a nearby table. There was an empty table next to them and students eating at other tables around them. The two women were mid-conversation when I took a seat next to them at their table. Not saying a word, I simply sat cumulation and waited.Their initial reaction was confused and they stared at each other. One of the girls pointed to me and loose her eyes wide to her friend as if to ask Do you know her? When they realized that I was a complete stranger to both of them and alone invited myself to sit down and join in their dinner conversation, they started express emotion and reacted with a confused Hi They stared and waited for a response and then I started laughing with them and explained what was going on and why. The two young women said how awkward they mat up when a complete stranger joined them at their table for dinner.Day 3The next stop on my project was in face up of my apartment. There was a girl who was talking on the phone. I attempt to stay too close to her and then I pretended to mind to her phone conversation. For the first time, she looked at me and she tried to make a little more distance from me. However, I kept going closer to her and then invaded her personal area. Finally, she went inside of Starbucks. When we found her inside of the coffee shop, she was still employ her phone and she kept ignoring us. After her phone conversation, we explained to her about our nonverbal communication project and asked her a question about her feelings. She said that it was uncomfortable, and she felt that I was invading her privacy and too close to her personal space.From the both situation, people felt that they were surprised and uncomfortable as well. I knew that I did improper things that we generally wont do in our lives.Intimate distance was invaded as I sat very close to the young creation on the bench reading the newspaper and casual distance was make awkward as I put myself at this distance with two young women where I welcome myself at their table same as with a girl who I met in front of Starbucks conversing whom I did not know.The young man sitting on the bench and the talking on the phone prepared to leave or left because I theorize they dont want anyone invading their privacy, especially a person they dont know. The girls on the table were quite confused so I think they thought that I am just macrocosm friendly with them so they said hi. I think they did what a normal person would do in those situations.While Im doing the exercise, Ive thought that breaking communicative rules like proxemics could result to sending a wrong message. Like what I did when I welcome myself by sitting on a table where two girls were sitting. They conceived a message that Im being friendly to them. But what if, you just have to sit there because there were no other sits available. The interaction would be unhealthy.
