Sometimes inconsistent nonverbal signals result from the sender's internal confusion or uncertainty. For example ,a group member may both like and dislike different elements of someone's proposal ;this genuine confusion may appear as mixed signals in the form of a positive head nod with a frowning face. To avoid sending mixed messages, be honest and clear. If you as a speaker are confused, help other members interpret your remarks by honestly revealing your confusion. If you are confused or puzzled by the mixed messages of another ,say so and help the other person clarify his or her intent.
