communication, which consists of: Body language is a form of non-verbal communication, which consists of: body posture, gestures, facial expressions, eye movements.

It is amazing to think that our words mean much less than the signals our body sends to the recipients.

Facial expressions are a very common way that we use to communicate every day.

Happiness Eyes squinted Cheeks raised Corners of the lips raised Wrinkles around the eyes Eyes squinted Cheeks raised Corners of the lips raised If a person smiles, but there are no wrinkles around the eyes, then the smile is false.

Sadness The upper eyelids are slightly lowered The stare is at a loss Corners of lips are down The upper eyelids are slightly lowered The stare is at a loss

Anger Eyebrows are lowered and kept close The upper eyelids are lifted The lower eyelids are tense The stare is intent The nostrils are extended The lips are either compressed or open teeth If the eyebrows are not lowered and kept close – the anger is false. A person wants only to scare you. If a person shouts and his eyebrows are up – it is an attempt to convince you.

Contempt can only refer to the person or to his or her actions. Lower eyelids are lifted One corner of the mouth is lifted Contempt can only refer to the person or to his or her actions.

Disgust Eyebrows are down Wrinkles between eyebrows are possible Nasolabial wrinkles Cheeks are raised Wrinkles between eyebrows are possible An upper lip is perhaps raised

Fear Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead Eyebrows are lifted and stretched Upper eyelids are lifted Lower eyelids are tense Lips are a bit stretched Horizontal wrinkles on the forehead

If surprise lasts more than 5 seconds, then it's false Eyebrows are raised Eyes wide open Open mouth If surprise lasts more than 5 seconds, then it's false

Hand Gestures Gestures are not less important than mimic signs. Any discrepancy between words and gestures can speak of insincerity

Gestures of sincerity Shows palms 2) A confident look and a well-raised head

Gestures of superiority If a man shows thumbs, he believes in himself. The head little tilted back is a sign of superiority too.

Gestures of uncertainty

Gestures of protection Any attempt to close the body is a defense posture.

Critical assessment: the index finger is pointed at the temple, the thumb supports the chin, and all the rest of the fingers rest on the cheek or are near your mouth. Gestures of decision or thought: stroking his chin.

Feet Reading the Body language of the feet is one of the best doorways into another's thoughts and emotions because many of us are far less conscious of our feet as compared to our arms and hands. Uncertainty

Feet Arrogance Disinterest
