June 05, 2017
In the previous article I've talked about how to read anyone by reading their body language. So regarding that I've only talked about the body language of legs and feet. So if you didn't read it yet, you can read that article by the following link.
So today in this article, I'm going to write about another part of the body that we can read the body language.
Torso
The next part of your body what we are focus on is your torso. Torso contains many of the body's vital organs. So your brain will do whatever is necessary to protect this area. and this leads to a ton of very apparent body language signs that you can look out.
Front of Torso
The front side of your body is the most sensitive side so you will unconsciously shift your torso away from anything that is considered a threat. This doesn't even have to apply in dangerous situations such as a mugging but also for people you don't like and even topics you don't like. You'll also find that you will shift your torso towards things and people, you do like a good trick to use in an interaction is to face the person you are speaking with. This shows that you are interested in them and the conversation that the two of you are having.
Shielding of your torso
This covers a variety of signs anything that involves the covering of your torso falls under this category. This includes body language signs such as crossing your arms. Playing with the bracelet or watch on your other hand and even holding a book or bag up to your chest. These signs usually indicate a feeling of discomfort or nervousness again it's important to note that these body language signs are not absolute indicates by themselves. Some people are simply comfortable doing things like crossing their arms which is why you have to look at the context surrounding their body language to make an accurate conclusion which again tell you later in these articles.
Leaning
When someone is leaning forward is usually indicates interest in the conversation at hand. When they are leaning back and to the side this usually indicates confidence and can also mean a disrespect for authority.
Puffed chest
This is when you stick at your chest and bring your shoulders back. This is usually a sign of anger and/or confidence and it's very common right before a fight goes down. It's also important to note that males will puff up their chest slightly around females that they find attractive.
Shoulder Shrugs
This is a very common thing that you've probably noticed along with the phrase "I don't know". When people are indecisive, they will shrug their shoulders, smaller shrugs may be harder to spot but they still indicates doubt.
Rounding of Shoulders
This is when your shoulders comes up a little bit and closer to your ears. The purpose of this response is to protect your neck from what your body considers to be a danger. This is a clear indication of lack of confidence and a feeling of discomfort.So I'll end this article from here. And I'll talk about this topic again from the next article.
