According to a study on non-verbal communication, the subtle act of closing one eye, or winking, can have over a dozen different social meanings, from flirting to sharing a secret. However, beyond these social cues, the reasons for closing one eye can range from functional purposes like aiming to involuntary movements signaling underlying medical conditions affecting the nerves or muscles.

Over 90% of communication is non-verbal, and a simple gesture like a clenched fist can convey powerful, complex messages. From expressing intense anger and frustration to signifying unwavering determination and solidarity, a clenched fist holds multifaceted meanings that depend heavily on context.
