Proxemic communication strategies

Proxemic communication strategies are ways of using body language and space to communicate in a certain way. For example, if you wanted to be friendly, you could stand close to the other person, smile, and use open body language. If you wanted to keep your distance, you could stand further away, have your arms crossed, and avoid eye contact. These strategies help us understand how people are feeling about each other and how we should act around each other.
