Can you learn to guess a person's thoughts? At first glance, it seems that this is impossible: after all, miracles happen only in fairy tales! Indeed, you are not able to read other people's thoughts, but "body language" can come to the rescue. Pose, gesture, head turn, crossing fingers, movement of the torso or eyebrows, etc. - all this can tell a lot to a knowledgeable person! What are the criteria for guessing other people's thoughts with a very high degree of certainty?
Instructions
Step 1
Your interlocutor looks at you with his arms crossed over his chest, while his lips may be tightly compressed, his eyebrows are slightly frowned, or, conversely, slightly raised. This means that he is not hostile to you, but he clearly feels some wariness, some doubts. The fingers of his hands, involuntarily clenching into fists, can testify to this.
Step 2
Since ancient times, the open palm of the hand has meant open, friendly intentions among many peoples. If your interlocutor has just such palms, you can be calm, he clearly does not feel dislike, and even treats you with sympathy.
Step 3
Again, since ancient times, people at the level of the "subcortex" have memorized the rule: "Do not relax!", Which should act at the slightest danger or even at its vague threat. Thus, if the interlocutor has taken a clearly relaxed posture that prevents the immediate reflection of the danger, for example, put his legs on his feet or threw his head back, this means that he trusts you and does not expect any trick on your part, at least now.
Step 4
If he listens to you, leaning forward a little, especially - resting his elbow on the table top with his bent arm, and his chin on the palm or clenched fist of this hand, then you can be sure: you are mentally “probed”. The interlocutor tries to guess what is on your mind, whether you are a serious person, whether it is possible to do business with you.
Step 5
Well, in the case when he fiddles or smooths his mustache, touches the earlobe, licks his lips, often takes off his glasses and wipes their glasses with a handkerchief, this is an unmistakable indicator of his embarrassment. Either something in your behavior has confused him, or (which is more likely) he is annoyed with himself for some mistake.
Step 6
Be attentive to your interlocutor, because even a "radiant" smile does not indicate sympathy for you, take a closer look at your eyes, if they are slightly narrowed, then the person is clearly plotting something or suspects you of something.
