Understand that positive nonverbal messages are behaviors that communicate openness, attentiveness, and friendliness without using words.
Review each option to identify which behaviors typically convey positive nonverbal communication: smiling, nodding, and open body posture are generally positive signals.
Recognize that avoiding eye contact and crossing arms are usually interpreted as negative or closed-off nonverbal cues, indicating discomfort or disinterest.
Compare the options to determine which one does not fit the pattern of positive nonverbal messages.
Conclude that 'Avoiding eye contact and crossing arms' is the correct choice because these behaviors are not positive nonverbal messages.
