How can you understand body language?

Answers

In our daily lives we encounter many forms of body language gestures. Here are a few examples:
• One body language signal is when a person crosses his or her arms across the chest. This can indicate that a person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others. It may also indicate that a person is feeling cold. When the overall situation is amicable, it can mean that a person is thinking deeply about what is being discussed.
But in a serious or confrontational situation, it can mean that a person is expressing opposition. This is especially so if a person is running away from the speaker.
• A harsh or blank facial expression indicates outright hostility. A person who displays such an expression is certainly not friendly.
• Consistent eye contact can indicate that a person is thinking positively of what the speaker is saying.
• Boredom is indicated by tilting the head to one side, or by the eyes looking straight at the speaker but becoming slightly unfocused.
