No matter how hard your interlocutor tries to hide his excitement, you can guess what emotions they have. To do this, you need to pay attention to certain signals that the human body gives at the moment of anxiety.
Facial expressions and gestures
Pay close attention to the person's expression. If a person is very worried and disturbed, his eyes begin to dart. When you can't catch someone's eye and you blink too often, it could be a sign of anxiety. Failure to keep eye contact with you doesn't necessarily mean the person is hiding something, but it definitely indicates anxiety.
If the person you are talking to is very anxious, they may involuntarily lick their lips. This happens at the level of reflexes. In addition, a person in an anxious state may bite their lips or squeeze them strongly. In general, any tension of the facial muscles gives out excitement, as well as redness of the skin. In some individuals, the neck and décolleté area also flushes when they are nervous. Look the other person in the eye. Perhaps because of the excitement, his pupils dilated.
A person who is very anxious may experience tremors of the whole body and tremors of the hands. To hide this fact, your interlocutor can clasp his hands together, move his hands behind his back or under the table. A person who is experiencing some excitement will try to find some support for her body. It will be difficult for her to stand straight or sit freely, move. She will prefer to lean on a chair or table, pick up something in her hands, sit with her arms and legs crossed.
Awkward movements can indicate a person's excitement. However, they also speak about the lack of confidence of the individual as a whole, about her low self-esteem. There are also people who are clumsy by nature. Therefore, here you need to know how a person behaves in a familiar environment, so as not to be mistaken.
Speech
Due to excitement, a person's breathing can become confused, so speech becomes intermittent. If your interlocutor often catches his breath when he speaks, it means that he is very nervous, worried about something. Notice if his thoughts are confused. If he often corrects himself, looks for the right word for a long time, it means that he was overwhelmed by excitement. Some people even start to stutter due to a lot of stress.
A too fast paced speech of your interlocutor may indicate that he is very worried. To draw the right conclusions, you need to know how a person's speech sounds under normal circumstances. After all, it may turn out that, in principle, he is used to chattering. If the person starts a new sentence before completing the previous one, this indicates her excitement. Thoughts are confused due to stress, a person tries to state everything without missing anything, and as a result he often gets confused.
