In fact, people express their thoughts and feelings not only in words - they also communicate with each other in body language with the help of facial expressions, gestures, poses. And, if many manage to control their speech, then it is much more difficult to control body language. The ability to understand it greatly simplifies communication, because you manage to read other people's thoughts and correct your behavior and words.
Instructions
Step 1
The fact that your interlocutor trusts you and is ready to communicate with you will be told by the open palms of his hands or a shrug accompanied by gestures with open palms. If your interlocutor is a man, then at the same time he can take off or unbutton his jacket, loosen the tie knot. It is more comfortable to sit, leaning back in the chair.
Step 2
If your counterpart feels a latent threat, or the situation seems to him to be conflicting, then he can cross his arms over his chest or clench his palms into fists. Intertwined fingers connected in a "dome" will tell you about his trust, it also means self-righteousness and pride in oneself.
Step 3
Appreciating you and looking closely, he can prop his head on his hand. If he is at the same time critical, then this will be indicated by a gesture when the chin rests on the thumb, and the index finger is extended along the cheek, the rest of the clubs are below the mouth. In the event that he assesses you positively, he will sit on the edge of the chair, as if moving closer to you, with his elbows resting on his hips, and his arms hanging down freely. Head tilted to the shoulder is a gesture of attention and interest.
Step 4
When your partner starts walking around, this is an attempt to solve the problems that have arisen or to make a decision that is given with difficulty. His gesture will tell you about deep concentration when he begins to rub or pinch the bridge of his nose, while closing his eyes.
Step 5
Pay close attention to what the interlocutor says when he covers his mouth with his hand - he is trying to deceive you or hide his position. A glance aside will only confirm this. He will express his doubts by rubbing or touching the tip of the nose or earlobe. Twitching of the earlobe is a signal that your counterpart wants to interrupt the conversation or transfer it to another topic.
Step 6
You can understand that your interlocutor is nervous and anxious by frequent coughing, and that he is going to avoid answering direct questions - a pyramid formed by elbows and fingers placed on the table, clenched and located under the line of the mouth.
