Why do people sometimes tilt their head to the side when they're listening to or greeting you?

Answer 1

its an unconscious reaction to a person thinking about you. We do it like a reflex, like a way to show we care without using the words.

Answer 2

When listening to you, they are actually in a bit of a doubt about what you are saying. Tilting head while greeting is rare......could be neckpain.

Answer 3

It's the canine genes in them. Some of us are able to overcome this ancient throwback and most of us don't have it so that only leaves a few human beings to deal with this abnormality. However all is not lost for these people. It seems that after a number of studies beginning in the nineteen sixties that the sociologist, physiologists' and other members in the field of anthropology have found that these people are especially tuned to the canine world more than you and I. That's it!!

Answer 6

Consider, too, that they may be a bit deaf in one ear. They may be turning their "good ear" toward you, to hear you better.
