● Blocking behaviors may manifest in the form of closing the eyes, rubbing the eyes, or placing the hands in
front of the face.
● The person may distance herself from someone by leaning away, placing objects (a purse) on her lap, or
turning her feet toward the nearest exit.
● Neck touching and/or stroking is one of the most significant and frequent pacifying behaviors we use in
responding to stress. It is typically because one feels distressed, threatened, uncomfortable, insecure, or
fearful.

hands against their shoulders, as if experiencing a chill.
● There are 2 people you have met before, and you want to join their discussion, but you're not sure if they
want your company. You approach them say hi, and if they move their feet along with their torsos, then the
welcome is full and genuine. However, if they don't move their feet to welcome you but, instead, only swivel
at the hips to say hello, then they'd rather be left alone.
● When two people talk to each other, they normally speak toe to toe. If one of the individuals turns his feet
slightly away or repeatedly moves one foot in an outward direction, you can be assured he wants to take a
leave or wishes he were somewhere else.
● If a person who is sitting down places both hands on his knees, it is a clear sign that in his mind, he is ready
to conclude the meeting and take leave.
● Gravity-defying foot behavior can be readily decoded to mean that, for example, the person on the phone
had just heard something positive.

such a way so that we tilt towards the person we favor.
● When we don't like someone or don't feel close to them, we move our feet away immediately if they
accidentally touch beneath the table.
● If there is a shift from foot jiggling to foot kicking in a seated position, it is a very good indicator that the
person has seen or heard something negative and is not happy about it.
● When an individual suddenly turns his toes inward or interlocks his feet, it is a sign that he is insecure,
anxious, and/or feels threatened.
● Couples who are pulling apart emotionally will begin to pull apart physically. When they sit side by side,
they will lean away from each other.
● Shoplifters tended to look around a lot. They tended to use fewer arm movements than regular shoppers.
● Confident or high-status individuals will claim more territory with their arms. A dominant man may drape
his arm around a chair to let everyone know that this is his domain.
● When individuals carry their thumbs high, it is a sign that they think highly of themselves and/or are
confident in their thoughts or present circumstances.
● Feelings of low confidence can be seen when a person puts his thumbs in his pocket and lets the fingers
hang out on the side.
● Genital framing is a powerful dominance display.
● Liars tend to gesture less, touch less, and move their arms and legs less than honest people.
