Unfortunately, we cannot read minds, and not everyone has a developed sense of intuition, but everyone can learn to understand body language.
Gestures and facial expressions can be used to determine what a person is thinking and feeling. People may not even think about what they are doing.
Closed eyes
When a person closes his eyelids, closes his eyes when communicating with you, it means he wants to hide, perhaps because you are boring him.
Covering the mouth
When a person covers his mouth with his hand or fist, he seems to be holding back his words, sometimes this is masked by a feigned cough.
Pencil biting
When a person bites a pencil, finger or pen a little, it means that he is puzzled by something and needs support, he wants to feel safe.
Showing your face
When a person rests their chin on their hands, they are thereby exposing their face to attract attention, usually from men.
Chin
At the moment when a person touches or strokes his chin, he is absolutely immersed in his thoughts and thinking about what decision to make.
Crossed arms
When a person crosses his arms on his chest, he feels safe and wants to fence himself off from the outside world. Sometimes at this moment a person is dissatisfied with something and has a negative attitude.
Incline
A person leans towards the interlocutor when he has a positive attitude towards him and is ready to make contact with him.
Swinging
When a person rocks from toe to heel, it means excitement.
Handshakes
When your hand is grasped by the other free hand during a handshake, it means that the person wants to show that he can be trusted.
When your palm is immediately covered from above by the other free hand during a handshake, it means that the person wants to show sympathy.
When your palm is covered from above by the second free hand after a while during a handshake, this means that the person wants to show his dominance.
When your palm is supported from below during a handshake, it means that the person is ready to provide you with support.
When a person shakes hands and touches your forearm or back with their other free hand, it means they are looking for communication.
Tie
When a person straightens his tie or bow tie, it may mean that he is uncomfortable being in a certain company and wants to leave.
Eyes
When a person is angry, his eyes narrow, and when a person is in love, his pupils can dilate.
Thus, we can understand a person's intentions even without words, just by observing him.
We have previously reported on situations in which it is better to remain silent .
