Today, we are going to learn about 7 subtle ways to read someone's body language. Now, let's begin.
1. Individual Cues Reading body language is a complicated skill to master. Some people spend years trying to understand the thousands of nonverbal cues you can communicate with your body.
Because reading body language isn't as simple as memorizing a list of movements or gestures.
Each piece of body language can signal a wide variety of emotions, depending on someone's personality and emotional state.
Even then, signals can mean different things depending on the context in which a signal appears.
So, with all these variables up in the air, how do you make sense of someone's body language?
Understanding the body language of 5 or 10 different people is a challenge but understanding the body language of a single person is much easier.
In other words, if you want to decipher someone's nonverbal signals, pay close attention to the ways they express different emotions.
By nature, humans are creatures of habit. You may not use the same body language as someone else, but you do rely on a repeating set of signals unique to you as an individual.
For example, some people may tap their hands or feet when they're nervous, but you only tap your hands and feet when you're bored.
