.How to Read Body Language
Understanding body language is a skill that can enhance your life. You can know what a person thinks and feels by examining their subconscious body language. This article will help hone this social advantage you can gain over people in your life.
StepsGauge how close someone is to you, the warmer their opinions are of you. The farther away that someone is, the less they care.
Watch their head position.
Overly tilted heads are a potential sign of sympathy. Alternatively the person is trying to convince you of their honesty.
Lowered heads indicate a reason to hide something. Take note if someone lowers their head. If it is when he is complimented, he may be shy, ashamed, timid, keeping distance from the other person, in disbelief, or thinking to himself. If it is after an explanation, then he may be unsure if what he said was correct.
****** heads mean that they are confused or challenging you, depending on eye, eyebrow, and mouth gestures.
Look into their eyes.
Liars will consecutively look at you and look away a number of times. You can actually learn specifically how to observe behavior to judge whether someone’s lying.
People who look away while supposedly listening to you are thinking about something else. This is why when you are talking to a group of people, if an item in conversation strikes the one looking away, they will ask for you to repeat the story.
Auditory learners may look from side-to-side and repeat phrases in an effort to retain information.
See if they’re mirroring you. Mirroring is another common gesture. If someone mirrors, or mimics your appearance, this is a very genuine sign that they are interested in you.
Check their arms.
People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. The worst thing that you can do to people with crossed arms is to challenge them in one way or another, no matter how they react. This annoys them. Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, they’re (slightly) reserved, or they’re just trying to hide something on their shirt.
If someone rests their arms behind their neck, they are open to what is being discussed and interested in listening more. They may be waiting to state their opinion on the matter.
Look at the location of their hands. If their hands are in their pockets, then they are more relaxed and are more likely to be attracted to you.
Be aware of nervous gestures:
If someone brushes their hair back with their fingers, their thoughts about something conflict with yours. They might not voice this. If you see raised eyebrows during this time, you can be pretty sure that they disagree with you.
If the person wears glasses, and is constantly pushing them up onto their nose again, with a slight frown, that may also indicate they disagree with what you are saying. Look to make sure they push up their glasses with an intent, not casually adjusting them. Look for pushing on the rim with two fingers, or an extra motion of wiggling the side of their glasses. The frown or raised eyebrows should tip you off.
If they are playing or fiddling with their hair (a girl may twirl a lock of her tresses around a finger), they are feeling self-conscious and possibly uncomfortable.
If someone is biting their lip, they are anticipating something.
Lowered eyebrows and squinted eyes illustrate an attempt at understanding what is being said or going on. It’s usually skeptical. (Or maybe they have a problem seeing things eg. short sightedness, astigmatism…)
TipsIt’s easy to spot a confident person, they will make prolonged eye contact and have a strong posture.
If people laugh excessively, it may be dishonest, or they just might be very naturally jovial, or just happy. Use your best judgement.
Don’t isolate yourself by constantly examining body language when interacting with people otherwise there is no reason to gain a social upper hand anyway. This is paralysis by analysis.
WarningsUnfortunately, there are always exceptions. Some people’s body languages are not a representation of how they feel. This is where your instincts must decide.
There are wide cultural differences, so body language will differ in other countries.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_langua…
