Reserved gestures and poses

Lie. Probably you noticed that some people hide hands communicating with you. Probably such person is telling lies because the brain sends the signals to person and body. Saying lies there is the great desire to put hands into the pockets, to scratch the nose, to rub the eye. These are the typical signs that the person is lying. But of course everything must be considered in general as the person who suffers from cold can also scratch the nose, the baby who just got up may also rub its eyes.

Defence. The person folds his/her arms, the legs are also crossed standing or sitting – this is the classical example of defence and reticence. Frequent blinking is the signal of defence and confusion. The emotional status of the person doesn't allow feeling free and open. If you try to come to agreement with such person, probably you won't achieve it.

Suspiciousness. The person's eyes become narrow, the movements become slow and careful - these are the typical movements if the person suspects something. In such case take the free and natural posture.

To make the communication easier in such situation, use all gestures that are destined to show the well attitude to a person and friendliness. Copy the gesture or the posture of the speaker. Open your arms widely and put your palms up. This will be unconscious signal to a person that you don't want to have conflict with him/her and you are on his/her side.
