We all know that gestures and positions indicate something about someone's personality, attitude, or morale. We all adopt habits of seeing, walking, and presenting ourselves without realising it. We adopt them and include them into our style, which can “betray” us and reveal what we don't want.
In some social contexts, the contract is temporary. Others have a conscious and unconscious perception of us. They form opinions from our words and body language.
“'Perceptive' means detecting contradictions between a person's words and body language.”
Allan Pease
This wouldn't be a problem if these brief moments didn't matter. It can be a professional interview or a specific meeting to make interesting contacts. Yes, there are times when we want to make someone we like happy and make them like us.
Discovering our gestures and their meaning is worthwhile for these reasons. In certain cases, we must polish them to our advantage. Let's start by identifying these harmful behaviours that need to be addressed.
Biting the lower lip indicates disapproval of what we say. Without you or others knowing, this motion will be taken as a doubt or inaccuracy in your speech.
A concealed message is also implied by this motion. People usually say "I didn't say..." Biting my fingers.” Good interpretation. Biting ourself means we're hiding something that contradicts what we say.
Frowning indicates displeasure, shame, or rejection. Tension typically prompts this motion. However, others do it so regularly that they scar their faces.
Fear or worry causes frowning. It can also indicate self- and other-doubt. This is also done to improve our vision or take a defensive stance.
This is one of the hardest motions to suppress because it's a natural response to tense situations. Blinking 14–17 times per minute is normal. When anxious, this number rises significantly.
The worst is when we blink a lot and quickly: our conversation partner is drawn to this odd gesture. Additionally, they often stop listening to us and focus on our open lack of confidence.
Pure expression in the hands. They emphasise, elude, punctuate, and finish. This is why people who speak and move their hands a lot appear more spontaneous and confident. It conveys genuineness.
Conversely, hiding hands when speaking conveys the opposite. He seems to be hiding. Do not hide your hands behind you, in your pockets, beneath the desk, or cross your arms. If you do this, you hinder communication.
A grin is one of the most heart- opening gestures. Unknowingly, a smile helps you make a good impression in discussion. This is a great prerequisite for a peaceful, compassionate conversation.
However, constant smiling or laughing can have the opposite impact. Her anxiousness, lack of concentration, or extreme need to be accepted are evident. This message is negative since it lowers others' self-esteem.
These situations do not involve impersonation. Just the opposite. Through gestures, one might discover himself. If she's conscious of her body language and how it communicates with others, she can change her message.
