We
communicate with other people
every day. The major means of communication is,
of course, language. But you can also
tell what other people are trying to say by observing their body gestures and facial expressions. Sometimes body language can deliver messages more effectively than words. This
week, let¡¯s find out about the hidden meanings behind body
gestures.
Upright
Body: An upright body is the sign of confidence.
Crossed
Legs: If a person is sitting with his or her legs crossed
with the foot tapping lightly, it is a sign that
the person is bored.
Apart
Legs: If a person is sitting with the legs spread apart, that means
he or she is relaxed. This posture also means that the
person is open for any communication.
Hand on Cheek:
This body gesture shows that the person is thinking deeply.
Crossed
Arms: If someone keeps his or her arms crossed,
then the person is telling people that he or she is in a defensive state.
Rubbing
the Nose: If someone rubs his or her nose while talking to
someone, it means that the person is either lying or doubting about what he or
she is saying.
Rubbing Hands: If you see someone rubbing his or
her hands, you can tell that the person is anticipating something.
Tapping Fingers: When people are feeling impatient, they tap their
fingers.
Stroking the Chin: When people try hard to come to a decision, they
tend to stroke their chins. It helps people concentrate.
Patting
Hair: If someone is patting his or her hair, it means that
the person lacks self-confidence. |
