How can I use showing instead of telling in dialogue?

How can I use showing instead of telling in dialogue?

Showing instead of telling means using actions, thoughts, and feelings to convey emotions. For example, instead of saying 'She was angry,' you could show it by writing, 'Her fists clenched, and her voice trembled as she spoke.'

Can you give me more examples?

Sure! Instead of 'He was nervous,' you could write, 'He wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans and avoided eye contact.' This paints a clearer picture.

What about in a conversation between two characters?

In dialogue, you might show tension by having one character interrupt the other or speak in short, clipped sentences. For instance:

"I just don’t understand why you—"
"Because you never listen!"

How can I practice this technique?

You can practice by rewriting scenes from your favorite books or movies, focusing on showing emotions through actions and dialogue.
