Let your body speak

One of the areas of your body that most communicate how we feel are our hands and arms.

Sometimes the hand and arm expressions are intentional, but most of the time they happen naturally, unintentionally.

• Saying something important: Open hands and arms, especially outstretched and palms in front of the body at chest height, indicate that what you say is important, especially when people are speaking in public, the pointing finger or the hand waving above the shoulders confirms a personal opinion.

But usually people may find a speaker who points their fingers a lot a bit annoying.

• Honesty and sincerity: When people want to be honest or will hold one or both palms against the other person, footballers who have committed an offense usually use this expression to try to convince the referee that they have done nothing.

• nervousness (tension): If a person puts his hand over his mouth, this indicates either that he is hiding something or that he is nervous

• fidgeting with your hands For example, tapping the table with your fingers also shows that you are nervous, as well as carrying a bag or purse firmly in the front of the body.

• Exaltation and elevation: People who feel higher up about you appear relaxed with their hands clasped behind their head.

Chin and head often up, this expression is traditional for lawyers, accountants and other professionals who feel they know more than you do.

• Another expression of height is to put your hands in your pocket with your thumb sticking out.

• feeling defensive Hands folded tightly around the chest (scapula) which is a classic expression of defensiveness indicating that you are protecting yourself

People also use this expression when they are listening to someone, to show their opposition to what he has to say.

This expression can simply mean that the person is cold (disinterested and passive).

• Thinking a lot Where the person brings a hand to his head and extends the index finger on his cheek, and the rest of the fingers are placed under the mouth, it usually appears that the person is thinking deeply. When a person strokes his chin, he is often thinking of something important or making a decision.

• Feeling of attraction If men are attracted to someone, they sometimes hold their earlobes or put some fingers on their face or chin, while women touch a tuft of their hair or put their hair behind their ears repeatedly.

• Lying: There are many expressions that indicate that a person is lying and to be confident you should expect that the person will show more than one expression. Expressions include placing your hands in the front of your mouth, touching your nose, rubbing your eyes, touching your ear, scratching your neck, or putting your finger or fingers in your mouth .
