Find out what people really think:
We are social creatures and talking is an integral part of our society. We talk with people to get to know them better but people often lie and fabricate their stories to sound better than they really are. Now imagine a world without lies and deception. Clearly that is a beautiful concept but who would want to live in such a boring world. Wouldn’t it be better to just learn how to read body language and then be able to tell if someone’s telling the truth?
Knowing how to read people’s body language is much more than just knowing whether a person is telling a lie or not. It helps you with knowing their true intentions and to understand how they are truly feeling when they are talking to you. Whether they are attracted or intimidated by you, you would be able to spot it all just by looking at their body language.
Being able to read body language is a skill that would be useful in many situations. It is a skill that would help you with every day interactions with people. For instance, if you go on a date, knowing if your date is comfortable with the topic that you are talking about is really important to easily connect with them.
How to spot a lie by reading body language:
The number one reason why people want to learn to read body language is so that they know if the person they are talking with is lying. According to studies, chances are that we are going to tell a lie in the first ten minutes of a conversation. But those are often small lies in which we often exaggerate about something. There are very hard to detect as we often do it unintentionally. If you know a person very well then it might be easier for you spot these lies. You can however learn how to detect the bigger lies such as when a person tells a fabricated story of something they have never done.
The main sign that you are going to see when a person is lying is that their body movements and the facial expressions are going to be stiff. The liars will often stand in a way where they occupy less space. Their eyes will often wander around trying not to make an eye contact. This can also be interpreted in a different way such as that the person is feeling awkward or intimidated by you. You will know the difference when you get to know the person better. Another gesture that will tell you if they are lying is when they involuntarily start touching their face or scratching their head.
A person who lies will often try to fake his/her facial expressions. By reading body language you will notice that their timing will always be a little off and it will seem unnatural. A person who fakes a smile only moves the muscles around their mouth while a person with a genuine smile moves different kinds of muscles on their face.
How to tell if a person likes you:
A lot of people often ask these kinds of questions. Whether you are going on a date or just meeting with some people, how can you tell if those people genuinely like you? If you learn how to read body language, you will be able to easily detect these signs.
One of the most common sign that tells that a person likes you is when they lean closer to you when you are talking. This means that the person is truly interested in what you are saying and that they want to hear more about it. When you see that someone’s hands are open, it means that that they are comfortable with you and that they trust you. It is a very good sign because you know that the person is not intimidated by your presence and that they must have some kind of genuine feeling for you.
Another gesture that tells a great deal about a person and how they feel about you is the movement of their arms and legs. If their arms are open and inviting then it is a positive sign that a person is being honest with you and has nothing to hide. However, if their arms and legs are closed then it is a negative sign which tells they are frustrated and that they don’t approve of the situation. You must keep in mind that these body signs are often dependent on the type of context and the situation you are in so sometimes before coming to any conclusions it is advisable to get to know more about the people you are with.
To know how to read body language is very advantageous for you because you will know what the people’s true intentions really are. You will be able to spot when a person is lying or if someone likes you as much as you like them. To become good at reading body language and noticing these signs you need to practice at it. With time you will be able to read body language without much effort.
