Not all confidence is real. Psychology says body language can reveal when men are faking it. Let’s decode the hidden signs.
1
A handshake that feels too firm often signals insecurity. Men use it to overcompensate for lack of genuine confidence.
2
A real smile reaches the eyes. Fake confidence shows through stiff, tight-lipped smiles that fade quickly.
3
Maintaining overly long eye contact is often an act. It’s a trick to appear dominant, but it feels unnatural.
4
Speaking too loudly or forcefully doesn’t always mean confidence. It may be covering up hidden self-doubt.
5
Shifting, fixing collar, or puffing chest too often reveals nervousness hidden under a mask of confidence.
6
Exaggerated hand movements while speaking may seem powerful, but often show forced self-assurance.
7
True confidence is calm and natural. If body language feels exaggerated, it’s often psychology’s way of spotting fakeness.
