The Body, Thousands of Hidden Messages

in #psychology8 years ago


Today, in what are some hours of leisure that I can take a day to read reviews, review social networks, watch videos and among many other things, I came across this news from The Guardian -British newspaper-. This is how the current POTUS, Donald Trump, has a particular style of shaking hands. He greets his counterparts in an intimidating and pervasive way, but Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is well aware that greeting forms reflect hidden messages and counterattacks by waving Trump firmly and safely, avoiding being intimidated.

Finally, looking at the article I realize that language is not only what we transmit through speech, but the body can send hundreds of signals to give the internal thinking of people and transmitting them to the issuers, me Seems curious, then I wonder what else can the body reflect through body language?



The Face, the Face and the Head. The combination of these three elements of our body can emit many messages, an example of this is that when we get scared we tend to cover our faces and eyes to not observe the negative situation we are in, or when we are with our friends talking, And jokingly saying something funny of the other, saying "Oops" and covering our mouth like trying to hide something that escaped you. Usually when we bring our hands to our faces it is because we are probably thinking insecure or we are distrustful, as when we scratch our necks while we speak, it is because we doubt what we ourselves are saying and rub our eyes so as not to see the person to whom You are lying.

Head movements such as nodding, can generate positive messages and agree with what is being heard, raising your head a lot with a high look can mean dominance and provocation or have the chin above the hand when we find ourselves analyzing and Evaluating something.


The Look Says A Lot Of You. One of the rules that teach us from small is to see the person when speaking, at that time you would not imagine what you could discover simply by studying the look of an emitter. When a person dilates the pupils it means that he is seeing something that causes him pleasure or attention, looking sideways can express boredom because it is a way of looking for escape routes or when a lady approaches and looks at us Lowering his head with his eyes raised high can show sensuality to attract men. Maybe that's why they say that the eyes are the windows of the body.


Watch Your Arms. Usually in the communication and the exchange of messages, the hands and arms interact very much. We can subconsciously defend ourselves with them, supporting them over our body and protecting our vulnerable zones when we feel insecure. By placing our hands on the back we show confidence and expose our weakest places of the body.

When we cross our arms we can believe that we do it because we feel comfortable, but they can also show disagreement, when a woman confronts them with men it may mean that she does not find her attractive. Having hands in the pockets generates disinterest in the conversation, showing the palm of the hand means that we are being sincere, while closing the hand emits the opposite.



When you have a conversation, listen to a political speech or simply see a person talking you can notice the different movements that he performs and thus have an idea if what he says through the voice agrees with what he really feels. The branch that studies the meaning of these gestures that we perform involuntarily is called Kinesia.

As we already know the movements of arms towards our face that reflect insecurity, the downward glance that reflects submission or show the palms to show honesty, are some of the thousands of movements that we do with our body involuntarily and that they manifest as it feels our subconscious .

Remember that a single gesture is not enough to give a conclusion, it is a combination of signals that generate a signal.

The next time you have a conversation with someone try to evaluate it.
