How do you read someones body language? Examples Plzzzzzzzz?

Answer 1

If a person touches his/her hair or another part of their body (ie., face, arm, hand etc) while they are talking to you - they are flirting. They might not know it - but they are. If they tell you something and look down - they are trying to remember something. If they look up - they are "creating" something (one way to tell if they are lying.) If the person folds his/her arms across the chest - they are defensive about something (might not like what you are saying or what you have asked them.) In other words, they are protecting themselves. If a man sits in front of you and has his legs parted - he's saying - here's what I've got - what do you make of that?! Kind of primitive, but done. I could go on and on - get the book - Body Language and read all about it for yourself. You'll enjoy it.

Answer 2

there r some things I notice in the person's body language.I usually measure self confidence by many ways... First ...when I talk to a person , I look at his fingers, not the hands, the fingers. If they shake, I know that the person infront of me isn't self confident enough. I also notice the laugh...some ppl laugh a loud "shaky" laugh with no good reason for it.Third, eye contact...there are many ppl who find it hard to maintain eyecontact. Also ppl who stare are strange.
I can know whether the person in front of me is nervous or not by the way he sits down. some ppl just sit suddenly...and they shake their legs alot while sitting. and also where they put their hands while sitting.Sometimes using excessive hand gestures shows that the person is nervous.
I don't trust ppl whom their smile doesn't reach their eyes ..it's only on the lips. It makes me feel that that person isn't trustworthy.
I am trying to remember more examples, but this is what I have on my mind now.

Answer 3

Paegan got it 100% right- you pay attention to the basic/obvious facial cues, and beyond that, it depends on the person and how well you know them. My boss is so obvious- races around the office with his hair standing on end (after running his hands thru his hair)- you can tell from a block away that's he's wound up tight. Other people, are more laid back when they are uptight, but you can only learn that with time.

Answer 4

Take a body language reading course??

Answer 5

Depends on the person and how well you know them. My husband, I know the second he utters his first syllable or the way his mouth is set what kind of mood he is in. The guy who delivers our mail, no clue. Some are obvious, like frowns, smiles, hunched shoulders. Some, you just have to get to know them before you decipher their "signs".

Answer 6

Comes with experience, but the obvious are given, use them as guidelines.
Example, someone who avoids eye contact is not being 100% true, now you have to take account on other factors, is it sunny? is he/she tired? is there danger around?

Answer 7

it comes with time and experience
