EYE CONTACT

 Maintaining eye contact while speaking or being spoken to is a sign of confidence.

 This can be used for either positive or negative intentions.

 Eye contacts are done to manipulate or deceive the other person.

 In certain cases, breaking eye contact is also a sign the other person is lying.
MOVEMENT OF HEAD

 While conversing the speed at which a person nods their head when you are
speaking indicates their patience.

 Slow nodding indicates that the person is interested in what you are saying and wants you to
continue talking.

 Fast nodding indicates the person has heard enough and wants you to finish speaking or give him
or her a turn to speak.
FIDDLING WITH CLOTHING

• Fiddling with his / her dress is giving an outward show of nervousness.

• It usually has to do with having dressed poorly, but not every time. When it is due
to being poorly dressed, the fiddling is usually accompanied by breaking eye
contact and rushed speech. 
FOLDED HANDS & TAPPING FEET

• Folded hands and tapping feet is usually a sign of withheld thoughts.

• It shows a desire to not share or to not be entirely open with the other person.

• It is not necessarily about lying, as it might be a situation where the person is

avoiding saying hurtful or inciting words.

• Tapping the foot, points to impatience or nervousness or both.

We all speak and listen through our body.
If it is read correctly, it is as good as verbal and
written communication.

We should also learn how to interpret and

understand body language for the sake of our
personal lives.
