How can I better understand my partner's non-verbal cues?

Understanding non-verbal cues involves paying attention to body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. What specific cues are you noticing?

I've noticed they often cross their arms when we talk. What does that mean?

Crossed arms can indicate defensiveness or discomfort, but it can also be a sign of being deep in thought. Context is key!

What should I do if I notice these cues?

Try to create a safe space for open communication. You can ask them how they feel or if there's something on their mind.

Are there other cues I should be aware of?

Yes, look for eye contact, facial expressions, and posture. Each can provide insights into their feelings.
