The Body Language Betrays What We Are

Although most of the time, we try to hide our emotions and feelings behind the words, it seems that they are useless in front of the nonverbal elements - gestures, timbre of the voice, attitude, facial expression, and others. During the relationship process, our body transmits some subtle clues that alert the interlocutor to our intentions, personality traits, or mood.

Although, despite our efforts to keep our mystery, most of us are not aware of our body language and, most of the time, especially in stressful situations (first date, first appearance on stage, first job interview). or the first love match) they can't control these things.

Gestures and facial expressions. There are some gestures that you do unconsciously and, no matter how much you try to avoid them, in the end, you still do them, gestures that are very easy to interpret and that send clear messages.

Regardless of the situation, you need to be as relaxed as possible but maintain a correct body position (do not sit in a supine position, do not sit with your elbows on the table, and do not show a bored face). Hands placed on the hips or frowning eyebrows can be considered signs of superiority, pride, tension, or anger.

The nose and mouth also provide information about our mood. The tip of the red nose indicates shame, arrogance, and a crooked nose signifies disgust, denial, uncertainty, or grief. Mouth half open means uncertainty, hesitation, or wandering. Closed mouth and thin lips, slightly pursed, signify anxiety, malaise, tension, ambition. An open mouth and a wide smile suggest joy, relaxation, or kindness.

Arm position. The movements of the hands must be firm, but at the same time delicate, to show them that you are confident and very confident in yourself and at the same time feminine and elegant. The first proof that you are nervous, that you are hiding something and dodging it is the fact that you are sitting with your hands in your pockets.

To look more cooperative, positive, and confident, avoid keeping your hands in your pockets. Repeatedly passing the hand through the hair betrays a possible flirtation, sensitive side, and emotion. Crossed arms betray vulnerability, lack of confidence, nervousness, or defense, although most people say they take this position because it is more comfortable. Open arms mean friendship, peace, or relaxation.

Hands in pockets. "When the person we are talking to puts his hands in his pocket, it can also be a sign of insecurity or a sign of shame. Depending on the context and the way this gesture is made, it can also be seen as a gesture of sexual availability, the hands acting as indicators towards the sexual organs ", believes the specialist.

The position of the legs. A firm and determined person keeps his legs straight and slightly apart. The movement of the legs denotes instability, danger, intimidation, or hesitation. Crossing the legs highlights a nervous, awkward, or fearful attitude. Depending on the case, this posture means relaxation, flirtation, charm, emotion, or desire. Many people also claim to take this position when they are cold.

The look. It is not for nothing that it is said that "the eyes are the mirror of the soul." Sustained eye contact conveys everything you want to know about the person in front of you. Looking into the eye for a longer period denotes challenge, a possible idyll, and an instant physical attraction. The sharp, playful, bright eyes symbolize wisdom, optimism, and strength, while the fallen, tired and dull eyes show regret, collapse, anxiety, loneliness. Staring, staring eyes express curiosity, fear, naivete, and inability to understand what is being said. Frequent blinking and eyelid movement are the result of an invention, deception, or intrigue.
