How often have you tried reading someone’s thoughts by just looking at them?
Are you so curious to know what your lover or your friend or your boss thinks?
Reading someone’s mind is quite interesting as reading a fantasy book.
You don’t need any extraordinary powers like psychics. It is just a matter of gestures. Even the most silent person can convey a message non-verbally.
For instance, students, just before their results, show a lot of emotional gestures. Their fear and nervousness can be easily identified with their body languages. They either walk around, or clench both their hands, or their fingers start to shake.
On the contrary, reading people’s gestures is not so easy. Few seconds of observing someone may lead to wrong judgement.
Gesture is like learning a language; you have to be more conscious of what your action speaks or can be understood.
Most of the times, we are not conscious of what we are doing, especially when we are too emotional or that we are unaware of the signs of the body-languages. Our gestures can either crate a good impression of ourselves or can even ruin in the eyes of the beholder. Psychologists suggest practising different gestures and observe what message an action can convey.
READING YOUR RELATIONSHIP:
Beach is the best spot where you can find a lot of couples. Well, at least, in Chennai, Marina beach, you can find few couples holding hands together and walking. In a relationship, a touch means the rights of possessing another. If a guy or a girl puts his or her hand on someone’s shoulder or gives a hug, it is clearly a gesture to assure that they belong to each other. Although, it is unsure in judging if they are married or if they are comfortable with each other or if they were not in good terms.
READING ONESELF:
This morning when I had been to a service centre, I found various gestures in the room, one person- comfortably leaning on a couch; few others with crossed arms and legs, and another person- impatiently hitting his pen against the table.
Here are few gestures that clearly explain along with the picture.
a)
May be this posture is hard to find. The above picture explains that she is waiting for someone.
Most of the movies, especially Hollywood movies emphasize more on gestures. If you get a chance, switch it to mute and watch the video, you will learn how a message is conveyed through non- verbal communication.
b)
This gesture is a sign of interrupting someone next to you by touching them and calling.
c)
This one is too easy to find out- A sign of boredom. * I do this often*
d)
This picture reminds me of chess players.
The picture depicts that the man is curious and at the same time fighting to be confident and to win.
e)
Though the man in the picture appears to be too relaxing, a survey conducted by few psychologists says that when a man sits on a chair with his one leg on the hand of the chair and more relaxed, he is said to be not bothered about others.
f)
He is not feeling cold; at least not in India. It means that he is protective.
There are various gestures, but make sure to pick the correct one.
