More than half of what we communicate is communicated not through words but through body language. This includes our posture, facial expressions and gestures.
If your posture is slumped and your head is down, this could mean that you are sad or lack confidence.
If your posture is straight but relaxed, you are showing others that you are confident and friendly.
A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest but people sometimes smile just to be polite. Establishing eye-contact is another way of expressing interest and respect. However, remember to look away every now and then before meeting the other person’s eyes again. A person who doesn’t look away is expressing a challenge. On the other hand, a person who doesn’t look at you is expressing lack of interest or is shy.
Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation but repeated movements, like tapping a pencil or tapping a foot-often mean the person is either impatient or nervous.
