Body Language: Reading the Hidden Message

Understand what someone is thinking or how they are feeling using body language.

Body Language: Reading the Hidden Message

Over the years, kinesics experts have noticed some hidden 'tells' that can offer you a shorthand guide to what others are thinking. There are certain gestures, motions and positions that crop up often enough that they appear to be universal. Remember that no single gesture should be read in isolation, but rather placed in the context of the situation and the rest of the person's body language. Also keep in mind that none of these are foolproof - but they're often enough accurate that they've become accepted as fact by most people who study body language.
