Contest 👉 Show your skills | Meanings of some postures and gestures by @yulirosario27

Interpreting people's non-verbal messages is necessary in my position as a mediator of my students, because a teacher has several roles and one of them is to guide and mediate in some conflict situations, so for me to know the messages that my students send me through their facial expressions, postures, movements and other messages, helps me to detect and know a little of what they are feeling, even though they do not express it with their words, but they express it with their body.

Next, I am going to show you some types of messages of language and non-verbal communication that people communicate in a corporal way and do not transmit them through words. I am going to write about some of them, because the subject is very broad and it would require at least 10 tutorials to manage this skill well, but for reasons of the contest I will give you some that I consider that anyone can use in everyday life and can use it.

How to find out if what they are telling you is true.

There are several non-verbal messages in which we can analyse whether the person is lying or not, of course you have to analyse everything as a whole:
When a person is talking to you and dodges their gaze, or looks away from your face, or looks down, this is a warning sign to take into account which could mean that the person is saying something false.

When they look to the left when they are talking to you it can alert us that they are lying to us, while if they look to the right it means that they are sincere. When their posture is rigid and they are not relaxed when they are giving an explanation it is a manifestation that they are lying. Rapid changes in posture, such as when they have their legs apart and immediately cross them while making excuses. When they open and close their eyes constantly and at other times do not do so, they are considered to be lying.

Establishing a Barrier.

When someone is uncomfortable, does not agree with what you are communicating or is establishing a barrier, or is closed to the environment where he/she is and does not feel comfortable, Crosses his arms.

I open parenthesis here (in a psychology class I was taking, the teacher asked me in front of the group a little annoyed, because I was so closed to what she was explaining and wanted to know my reason, I told her I agree teacher with your class and she told me, it's not like that! you have your arms crossed throughout the class, I had to tell her the truth, I had to say in front of everyone that a strap of my bra had come loose and I had my arms crossed so they would not notice and as the class was important I was waiting for the break. These are things for which you have to be aware of the context, for example she didn't see my look of interest that was directed towards her all the time, she only noticed the position of my arms).

Posture can express many things about our personality.

When a person has an upright posture with straight shoulders and a straight face without exaggeration, we are in the presence of a self-confident person with an adequate self-esteem, but if he raises his face upwards too much, we are in the presence of an arrogant person.
On the contrary, a crestfallen posture with the shoulders down means that a person has a low self-esteem.

When the person is listening to a proposal or explanation and looks down and stays like that while you are talking, it means that he does not agree with what he is listening to.

Playing with your Hair

Playing with your hair means lack of confidence and insecurity or it is a way to release your nerves in front of a situation or a person (Guys, here's a tip).

Well friends here I leave you some tips there are many more but for now we leave it here because if not this post would be very long, I hope you take into account from now on communication and nonverbal language because 90% of what we transmit in a nonverbal way is unconsciously therefore there we can analyze the intentions and messages that gives us your body language, I invite you to tell me in the comments which tip you liked more or if you have an anecdote about nonverbal language forward share it.

Thank you very much
