Tricks to Read Minds

By Sree JeePublished 3 years ago 8 min read

You've wondered how convenient life would be, if you could read other people's minds some people use their intuition for this but if you're not so perceptive there're only one choice left, learning to read people's body language. We get over 55% of information through nonverbal communication llike facial expressions, gestures and other body movements.

                       01. closing their eyes 

                     If a person is talking to you and closing their eyes, you should know that they're trying to hide from the outside world, this doesn't mean that the person is scared of you. most likely they've mentally clocked out of the conversation with you and if they close their eyes, you disappear 

                       02. covering their mouth 

                   This is a leftover from childhood do you remember covering your mouth when you didn't want to tell mom what happened to that broken vase well, this habbit forwards us to adult life too a few fingers, a palm or even a fist near the mouth help us hold back the words we dont' want to let out sometimes this gesture is even disguised by fake coughing 

                      03. chewing on their classes 

                  If you see someone's chewing on the earpieces of their classes, try having a heart-to-heart with them and cheering them up they're definitely subconsciously worried about something they're trying to feel safe like they did when their mom was breadfeeding them by the way, a pencil, pen, cigarette and even chewing gum in the mouth communicate the same thing 

                   04. presenting their face 

                            General speaking, this gesture's used to attract people of the opposite sex when we rest out chin on our hands. we're sort of presenting our faces as if it say "this is me!, enjoy as much as you want" men should remember this gesture if they want to catch the moment compliment the lady at the right time

                   05. rubbing their chin 

                 This is what people do when they're trying to make decision they might be looking down, up to the side or anywhere they don't even know what they're looking at because they're deep in thought so if you see a friend doing this, ask them what's on their mind 

                  06. cross arms 

                This is what of the most popular gesture and it's no wonder many people feel really comfortable in this position because this is subconsciously shuts them off from others we offen use this gesture when we're irritated by someone by something crossed arms are a clear sign that a person is not feeling it today if you want to talk to someone making an X with their arms across their chest, forget about it

                  07. fixing their posture 

                        When a woman wants a man to notice her, she tries to present herself in the best way possible she straightens her back to emphasize her breasts anh she may also cross her legs hands together and hanging down are a sign of attention and huge interest in a person 

                   08. leaing forward 

Whenpeople like someone and want to get to know them, they ussually lean forward in this position, the neck may stay put but the body intuitively moves forward you can really notice this body movement in a group of people a person subconsciouly leans in the direction of the man or woman they like so next time, you're at a party, sit back or forward if you got your eyes on someone and enjoy the show.

                       09. leaning back 

                    Now let's look at the opposite position if someone sit back in their chair, they're showing they're tired of the conversation and don't want to keep it going they might feel uncomfortable in the present of the other person next time, you're in a restaurant, see if you can spot people who are not so into the conservation they're having at the moment 

                     10. swinging from their heels to their toes 

                    That's right, not only kids do it, this show that a person feels anxious about something however if a person doesn't swing back and forward but bounces up and down on their toes it might be a sign that they're feeling confident if they look happy in a smiling this guess' a safe bet 

                     11. rubbing their hands 

                    It's believed that the hands broadcast what the head is thinking rubbing the hands together generally means that a person has a positive feeling about something and they're hopeful we do this when we're thinking about some positive outcomes in the near future a good gesture next time you're in Vegas 

                      12. the "glove" handshake 

                   While you're shaking hands with someone, if that person takes your wrist with the free hand they're showing that they're trustworthy, friendly and honest this style of shaking hands is popular among politicians but you should remember that this handshake is often percieved as an invasion of privacy only people who are close to each other do it genuinely so don't let a politician fools you 

                       13. A handshake with the palm facing the floor versus facing the ceiling 

                     A person holding out the hand with the palm facing downward is demonstrating their superiority and power this knowledge can turn out useful if you want to suddenly show your boss that you respect their "dominance" it's okey feed the ego if it means getting on the good side at the same time, if you're holding someone's hand from below, you're telling them that you're ready to help 

                      14. cupping someone's hands during a handshake 

                       If someone's cupping your hand between both of theirs, placing their free palm on your back of your hand this lets you know that they sympathize with you but this is true only if a person does it instantly however, if you've been shaking hands already and only then does the other person put their hand on top this may be a sign that they're telling you who's in charge here 

                    15. A handshake with a touch 

                 People sometimes touch others with their free hands they might touch your forcearm, elbow or back this invasion of personal bobble means that someone isn't getting enough attention or communication from others the closer the touch to the torso the more the person need company so, what's your handshaking style? 

                   16. fixing their tie 

                  The meaning of this gesture depends on the situation if a man does it nean an attracted woman, this properbly means that he likes her however, this gesture may also indicate that the person isn't feeling confortable may be he has lied or just wants to get away from wherever he is right now

                   17. collecting imaginary lint 

               This is also called replacement gesture people often use it to express that they disagree with something, but they don't want to voice their disagreement in other words, they don't express their apinion clearly but showing in a hidden way 

                 18. putting their feet on the desk 

                  This gesture can mean a lot of things bad manners, disrespect, trying to show who's boss or even concern for one's health however psychologists believed that even if you feel confortable in this position, you shouldn't sit like this anywhere but at home 

                 19. mounting a chair like a horse 

                    A chair is not a horse, and even though its back sort of looking like a shield it serve the different purpose many people are irritated by others sitting like this because they feel the aggression intuitively this position is popular among dominant people if you don't want to seem week, keep standing while they're riding the imaginarity horse

                  20. playing with their shoe 

                  Crossed legs are one of the most attracted ways that women consist and if a woman is playing with her shoe, this indicates that she's feeling calm and relax it also means that she's trying to draw your attention to her legs so gentlemen, this is your green light 

                21. Eye contact 

                      The eyes are the window of the soul and it's a great helper of communication you can read all of person's thought and feelings in their eyes lovers look each other in the eyes hoping to see enlarged pupil in fact, it's very ease to notice because when someone is attracted to another, their pupils can be up to 4 times bigger than their normal state by the way, if a person is angry, their eyes look beady because their pupils get really small there are different types of eye contact and each of them can tell us a lot if we know how to decode them avoiding eye contact typically if a person wont' look into the eye, it means they're being dishonest with you but it also may serve as a sign of their discomfort thirdly, people often look to decide if they're doing mental math or searching for the answer to a difficult question unbroken staring on the other hand, if a person won't avert their eyes from yours they're likey trying to intimidate you and make you feel uncomfortable or the person who's keeping such persistent eye contact is lying to you but they're aware of the fact that breaking eye contact equals lying so they're trying super hard not to break it if they're overdoing it in the process, well, can we really blaim them? a lot of blinking a person blings on average from 6 to 10 times a minute but if this number is higher, there are good chance they're attracted to their conversation partner so, it's a sign of subconsciously flirting...!!!
