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.
