According to the experts and psychologists, the non verbal communication can account for more than 75 percent of the impact of a message. The other 20 percent impacts the sound of your voice nd how you say something... and basically only 5 percent matter what you really say!
Here are some meanings of your body language most experts agree on.
ARMS CROSSED ACROSS THE CHEST
= disinterest
ARMS UNFOLDED
= openess, positivity
CROSSED LEGS (unless in a skirt)
= lack of interest, being withdrawn
STANDING WITH A VERY WIDE STANCE
=power, dominance
STANDING TALL
= confidence, good health
TILTING OF THE HEAD
=boredom or confusion
AVERTING THE GAZE
= disbelief
EXCESSIVE BLINKING (or comlete absence of blinking)
= lying
ECHOING AND MIRRORING
= sexual interest
Do you pay attention to your body language or to the body language of others?

Me too, I cross my legs when I sit, all the time, and it never means anything . . . I'm just comfie like that. All these body language bs is bs. You could make a mistake by believing somebody's misunderstood interpretation of things.
DeleteI notice lots of people echoing my actions and vice versa, it just seems to come naturally to me and I giggle when I notice. Don't fancy any of them though, haha xx
ReplyDeletei dont pay attention to it most of the time but if i realize i have my arms crossed i will un cross them bc i know it gives off a bad vibe! happy saturday!

I cross my legs (Eurpean style) 90 percent of my sitting time (whenever there's enough clearance between my knee and the table). It doesn't mean anything, I just feel comfortable sitting that way.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm being "closed and stubborn" I'm not crossed, if sitting, I open and lean forward to get my point accross, if standing, I'm usually uncrossed. That tells me that, generally, a lot of signs could be misleading.
P.S. When I echo somebody, that means I'm being sarcastic. Waaaay off.
