Do you look down when you speak?Play with your hair?Lean to one side?Every last gesture tells a story.What you are saying to others is not only reflected in the words coming from your mouth,but also through the gestures and motions you make with your body.Kristin Appenbrink,Associate Editor for a website,shows what your body language is saying about you.
Standing with your legs together is considered more of a conservative stance(站姿).It looks like a soldier facing his officer.This way of standing usually indicates respect.
This way you move your body reflects your attitude.And shifting your weight from side to side or front to back indicates that you are anxious or disappointed.Basically,this is a physical representation of what is going on in your head:you are having so many unsettling thoughts that you can’t stop moving from one to the other.
Crossing your arms and legs is a defensive position.Take note of the surroundings.More often than not,this just means a person is cold.Many people also find this position to be comfortable.
Pointing toes(脚趾) in,big toe to big toe,indicates you are closing yourself off because you feel awkward or insecure.But,if you’re sitting up straight with your shoulders aligned(对齐的) and your head up—signs of an open body position—your feet may be betraying you.
Opening up your hands by spreading your hands means you are open to new ideas being offered.Facing your palms down or grasping your fists firmly shows you have a strong position—one that may not be so flexible.
