Understanding the Tell-Tale Signs Part III

  • Actions and Gestures That Convey Interest or Excitement
    If you have ever been given a promotion, received a unique present, or won a competition, then most likely you have made any of the gestures that excited people do when you initially learnt of your achievement. A few of the actions that excited people perform are:

    They rub the palms together.

    They tend to clap their hands.

    They tilt their heads forward.

    Their keep their fingers crossed (generally indicating that they hope something special or huge will occur).

    Gestures of Power, Authority or Confidence
    People who are extremely self-confident have typically more chances of becoming successful than people with low self-worth. Furthermore, those who demonstrate authority or power generally reach the pinnacle of success since they unintentionally make others appear small. Hence, what gestures do they make?

    They keep a steady eye contact and hardly ever gaze at anything below the others nose.

    They tilt their chin up.

    They talk in a deep, measured, and downward-modulated voice.

    Their chest is directed outwards.

    They keep an upright posture, while sitting or standing.

    They sit in the reverse direction, with the chair back serving as their prop or guard. People who take this position are considered domineering and hard-hitting.

    Their clench their hands behind their back.

    They rest their hands beside the hips.

    They put their feet on the tabletop.

    They handshake is firm, with the palms pointed downwards.

    They tend to lean back with their head supported by both the hands.

    They move in a determined and decisive way.

    They walk steadily with powerful arm swings.

    They connect both their hands fingertips together (joining together both hands small finger, joining together both hands ring finger, and so forth). There is no contact between the palms of both their hands. The higher they raise their hands, the more poised they are.

    They tend to sit by putting a leg over the chairs armrest. When they act this way, it may also connote that they are indifferent, bored, or unruffled. They may be displaying the I just dont care outlook.

    Besides, you can assert your supremacy over others by getting up or standing over them. It is fairly common to notice taller people wielding the baton in a situation. Select a position or a chair where others will need to look up at you. They will involuntarily think they are puny and can be controlled easily.

    Indications of Resistance or Anger
    Most people seldom allow their anger to get out of hand. They will almost certainly keep in check their violent feelings. Consequently, you must be capable of detecting any sign that indicates rage or resistance to avert any likelihood of the volcano erupting. The following are some clues:

    They clench their fists.

    They tap their feet or hands.

    They use one hand to clutch the other hand, elbow, or arm.

    They keep their hands crossed over their chest.

    Their blink their eyes non-stop.

    Their shirt collar is pulled back from the neck, as if allowing in some air on a scorching summers day.

    They kick the air or dust.

    They keep their arms placed vertically on the table with their hands gripping the edge. Be careful when they do such a thing since it might indicate something resembling You better finish this or else! or Take note or youll be sorry!

    Signs of Anxiety and Nervousness
    Nervousness can be quite terrible. In case you will appear for an interview on a television show you should be conscious of your body gestures. Nervous people convey the following signs:

    They clench their fists.

    They tap their feet or hands.

    The bottom extremities between one hands fingers are clasped with the bottom extremities between the other hands fingers. This is the hands position when one is praying.

    They interlock their hands (the flesh between one hands index finger and thumb are joined with the flesh between the other hands index finger and thumb) and press them against each other.

    While standing, they tend to cross their legs.

    They talk in a shrill, rapid-fire, faltering voice.

    They clear their throat frequently.

    They whistle to hide and combat their nervousness.

    They clutch one hand with the other hand, elbow, arm, or wrist.

    Their keep their arms to the back, with one hand bearing down on the arm or wrist.

    They keep their arms crossed, while gripping their biceps.

    They have a limp handshake, with their palms pointed up.

    They do not look you in the eyes.

    They keep their ankles locked or joined together. Now this action together with clenching their fists, may suggest that they are concealing powerful feelings or emotions.
