Signs Of Boredom In Communication

     How often do you notice if the person is interested in conversation? Do they look at your eyes and keep the talk alive by adding their bit.

     Sometimes the conversation doesn't go the flow we want. If the person is not interested in what you are saying it's difficult especially when you are trying to make a sale. They won't buy unless you want to bore them to open their wallet. Some sales people use this way of persuading for purchase. It's really annoing.

    Maybe it's just better to leave the talk for another time. What if person is just tired and all that's occupies their mind is just to have some rest? Talking later about the same issue might bring better results. Or what if person is not interested at all...then why should you waist their and your time. If you still want  to persist then changing an  approach might make sense.

    What are the signs of bored body language? Some of them are very obvious...

    Eye contact, actually its absence is one of the main signals of boredom in non verbal communication. A person would look anywhere but your eyes. It would look like everything around is pretty much intertaining like door, their watch or clock on a wall, other people, they might be deciding whether they need manicure done etc. 

    They may also tap their fingers or swing their feet showing off their unpatience and readiness to switch their mind for something else.

    Their body may sag and they'd look for something to suppost them like leaning against the wall or slouch down in the seat etc. They may also yawn quite often (openly or trying to control).

    They would probably use some closed body language gestures as well. You can read my previous post for those.
