Understanding a person without words is a very useful skill. Unfortunately, not everyone has it from birth. In fact, this is not difficult to learn. You need to be a little more careful, plus a little practice, and you can read anyone like a book.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to how close the person is to you: The distance at which the interlocutor is located characterizes his desire to communicate with you. The closer he is, the closer the relationship he wants to establish. And vice versa: the further he is, the less you interest him.
Do not forget to make allowances for the fact that residents of large cities and representatives of some countries are used to communicating at a fairly close distance, which may even seem intimate to others.
Step 2
Pay attention to head position: If the person tilts their head slightly in your direction when talking to you, this is a sign of sympathy.
When a person lowers his head, it speaks of his insecurity. If this happens during a personal conversation, perhaps he is embarrassed, not sure of himself, wants to keep his distance - this is a closed position. If the head goes down during an argument, the person may not be sure that their statements are true. If the interlocutor, on the contrary, lifts his chin up, this signals his self-confidence, the desire to close the distance or the desire to challenge you.
Step 3
Pay attention to mirroring: Mirroring or repeating a pose is a sure sign that the person is interested and sympathetic. To make sure that this is not a coincidence, try changing the position of your arms or legs, and after a while, check if the person has repeated your pose.
Step 4
Pay attention to the arms: If the arms are crossed, this is a closed position - the person is not in the mood to communicate. It should be borne in mind that for many people this is a familiar posture, but even in this case, such a habit suggests that a person is restrained, constrained in dealing with people. If, with crossed arms, the legs are quite wide and confidently apart, this position indicates a position of superiority. If a person puts his hands on his hips, then he is slightly nervous. Does your interlocutor have their hands clenched into a lock or fists? This means that the person is probably angry.
Step 5
Pay attention to individual gestures: If a person constantly straightens his hair or pulls a lock of hair, this indicates his sympathy for you or the one with whom he communicates. However, if at the same time he raises his eyebrows high, as if in surprise, this rather indicates his disagreement with you. If your interlocutor slightly frowns his eyebrows and narrows his eyes, it means that he is trying to penetrate and think about what you are saying.
Step 6
Pay attention to the legs: If a person shifts from foot to foot, it means that he is nervous, not sure of himself, expects something. Many people stand to point their toes towards the person they sympathize with. If a person touches your foot with his - this is direct flirting!
