deal with people who communicate non-verbally more? I mean their body language & those weird faces they make to get a reaction out of you is something I can’t take. Then afterwards when you do give a reaction, they are like " hum ne kuch bhi nahi kaha" & all that jazz.
And please don’t say to avoid them because it is really hard when you do actually know they are asking for a slap on their face
What do you mean by “communicating nonverbally more?” If this is their habit or aadat, then it 's who they are and you can’t do much about it.
If you know that they are trying to get a reaction out of you, then don’t give them that satisfaction. At least don’t give them the kind of reaction that they’re “hoping” for. Act in a way that is opposite or contrary to what they are expecting.
Another option is that you can have a direct, straightforward discussion with them. When they say, “hum ne kuch bhi nahi kaha”…then say, “Moonh kholne ki zaroorat nahi hoti, insaan ki body language hi bahut kuch keh jaati hai. Khamoshi ki bhi zubaan hoti hai aur ishaaron ki bhi.” Talk it out with them. Ask them if you’ve done something to upset them as they’ve been distant lately. If they give an explanation, go from there. Clarify the matter and apologize for misunderstandings if need be. And if they don’t give any explanations you can say, “Agar mujh se koi ghalati hui hai, I am sorry. And I hope we can move past this and go back to the good relations we had.” Sometimes doing this can calm the other person down. We all make mistakes and offend without realizing. It doesn’t lessen a person in stature to apologize.
You haven’t specified who these people are. If they are immediate family members, then this nonsense is temporary or waqti. If they are extended family members (cousins)…then try to clear things with them. If they’re not receptive…then be polite but give them their space. If they are coworkers, just be polite but focus on your work. If they are “friends”…again…try clearing the air with them and if it doesn’t help…leave them be and keep yourself busy with other people/things.
