Watch for split-second facial expressions—they expose real emotions before people consciously mask them.
1
Prolonged eye contact shows confidence or dominance; avoiding it may signal discomfort, lying, or insecurity.
2
Subtly mimicking gestures creates subconscious bonding, making people feel more comfortable and connected with you.
3
Fast talkers are often thinkers, slow speakers are careful, and pauses signal hesitation or deeper thought.
4
– Crossed arms? Defensive. Open stance? Confident. Leaning in? Interested. Posture tells you what words don’t.
5
Someone’s feet point where they want to go—if away from you, they’re disengaged.
6
Excessive hand movements, hair twirling, or lip biting indicate nervousness, uncertainty, or even deception.
7
A rising pitch can indicate excitement or anxiety, while a monotone voice suggests disinterest or emotional detachment.
