How to become good at
reading body language?
Yes,
there are some signs that are pretty obvious and almost
everyone seems to talk about them, I do not believe that
you need to memorize them. Plus, the gestures vary
by location. What people do in New England makes no sense in
Louisiana. What I am going to give here are broad
concepts that you should try to understand and then when
you try to read a person's body language, focus on his
or her gestures and put them in a broader context.
You will soon realize that you have a fair and accurate
understanding of what he or she is really thinking:
Posture: The #1
representation of one's mind. How is the person
holding himself/herself? Does he/she come across
as
confident/shy/ defensive/scared/aloof/
interested? Are the arms open in a welcoming
manner or closed with the message "Leave me
alone".
Eyes: As the say,
"Eyes are the window into the mind".
Look for signs of nervousness, interest,
passion,
desire, aloofness, boredom, etc.
Make eye
contact for just 4 seconds and you will see what is
going on.
Mouth: First of all,
what is the emotion here? You know we all force
ourselves to smile or laugh once in a while but we
also know very well what is a genuine
smile/laugh. And remember this, when we smile
genuinely, there is that part of the brain that is
genuinely in great spirits, or in other words, we are
ready to connect with other people around us.
