Recently, some of my friends convinced me to go the Neon Cactus with them. Not having been to a club before, I found it difficult to hear what people were saying to me over the loud music. As the night went on, I found myself relying more and more on nonverbal communication to overcome the music. By watching people's facial expressions and gestures, I was better able to understand what was going on even if I could not actually hear any of what they were saying. This also emphasized the importance of eye contact in communication. While nonverbal communication is not a complete replacement for speaking, it can be a valuable addition.
