Body language

In the past people were not aware about such a thing like a body language. It existed but wasn‘t important as much and they don‘t pay enough attention.But now people go deeper to psychology science , they try to explain our unconscious movements of body as well.

One of the most basic and powerful body language signal is when a person crosses his arms across the chest. This show that person is putting up an unconscious barrier between themselves and others. But it can also indicate that people is deeply thinking about what is being discussed. However usually it shows that people is expressing opposition.

Another important thing when we talk about body language is eye contact. It could be consistent or no.If yes it indicates that person is thinking positively of what the speaker is saying. But it can also mean that the other person doesn‘t trust the speaker enough to take his eye off.

Also it is adviced don‘t be afraid to take some space when you socialise with other. It show that you fell comfortable and self confidence. Standing too close means that everybody gets weirded out by close talker. So let‘s people have their personal space don‘t invade it.

One more very important thing in body language is not to be fidget. Shaking your legs, tapping fingers or touching ear or scratching chin can mean that you disbelief or feel not relaxed.

Other not so noticeable things are walking with hands in pockets which means dejection or open palm means sincerity, oneness, innocence. For example standing with hands in pockets means readiness or agression,but sometimes we are doing this because it is cold and we don't have gloves. While nod means that you are listening but don‘t over do it, because you could look strange like a woody :) . Other people state that such a thing like hair style is also very important thing which can say a lot about person's character.

All these things and a lot of more can say about what you are thinking or how you are feeling, but on the other hand don‘t trust these facts too much because everyone is individual and different person's features can mean different things.

I think, that all of us use body language every day. There is only one difference, some gestures are consciousness and some are not. I believe that finding more information about body language really helped you to better understand yourself and other people.

It was interesting to read the examples given, as they were seperated in a certain order. Moreover the text is long and full of good words. On the other hand I think you should try to express your thoughs more fluently.
Good luck!

I liked that Jurga mentioned the main body language and gave an interpretation of it. But maybe the best thing of her article is that she was critical and did not take only one meaning of sign but offered that it could mean something different and not unconscious, what is accented in books of body language interpretations. For instance, her example with hands in pockets suggests that it could also be and the result of influence of environment. The conclusion is very good because it summarize all her work and say a main idea.
