Introduction

It is how we learn to get our needs met. As we age while learning to talk, we continue to use a series of body language signals along with a grunt here and there to entertain, have a need met, or show an emotion we are feeling that we are not yet able to express verbally.

If, while we are young, our caretakers pick up our body language signals easily, as we age we are more apt to continue to refine the skill of using body language.

However, when our body language signals go unnoticed as an infant or throughout childhood, in adulthood, the use of body language often goes to the wayside.

Those are the adults you hear people refer to as “hard to read”. Although they can make great poker players, it does little for the art of subtle communication. Like the saying goes, if you don’t use it, you lose it, or in the least, get real rusty at it.

Life is a game of sorts. There are no guarantees in anything, however, you can higher your odds in the game of life if practice, and not just your body language skills, but your ability to read body language, and all other aspects of life.

Communication through all forms is detrimental in life. It can make the difference between landing a dream job or that dream mate and many other factors. People use on an average of 50% body language to 50% verbal language when communicating.

If you cannot pick up the subtle nuances of the body language someone is giving, the message you may be receiving verbally could be quite different then what they intended on it being.

The more you try to use and learn how to pick up on body language signals the better you will get at it. If you don’t get it the first time, then continue to try and keep trying. People watching are a great way to brush up on your ability to read body language.

There are several main types of body language. Two of the most common types of body language people can pick up on easily generally are romantic and greeting body language.

Other forms of body language are aggressive, attentive, bored, closed, deceptive, defensive, dominant, emotional, evaluating, open, power, ready, relaxed, and submissive. We will look at each category listed alphabetically, and explain signals used in each.

Aggressive Body Language

Aggressive body language

Aggressive body language is way more than simply being punched in the face or punching someone. There are many types of aggressive signals that if picked up on early can save you from being a receiver of a physical attack or give you time to turn the aggression down.

Aggressive body language is a signal to a possible physical threat or a verbal threat at the least. As we were taught early on, physical confrontations can never lead to any good so learning to pick up the threat signals early is extremely beneficial.

Aggressive threat body language can come from facial, attack, and exposing. Facial signals that can alert you to a possible threat are frowns, pursed lips, reddening of face, sneer look, clinched jaw, stare downs with a squint, and jerking of head towards you much like one would jerk their body towards you in an aggressive advancement.

Another common facial threat signal is a person getting right up in your face with their face. With all of these gestures, it is best you step back a couple feet to put a bit of distance between you and the aggressive person to give you a chance to possibly defuse the situation.

However, this is the typical, there are some that really show little outward physical cues that indicate they are about to punch you. People who present with a flat affect may show very little to no indication that they are about to physically attack another.

This is when body language alone can put one in a risky situation and it is important to listen to word cues as well.

Another form of aggressive body language is crossing personal space, mental or emotional boundaries. Fake friendships are an example of crossing all three of these boundaries.

When that is crossed physically (e.g. getting up in someone’s face, bumping chest, physically touching another without permission etc.) that invasion of space is an aggressive body language move.

Physical aggressive body language gestures are another indicator that you may be at risk of becoming a victim. Hand gestures are often used to incite another into a physical confrontation, from the use of “flipping someone off” with the flagging of the middle finger, to hand gang signs, thrusting of arms to the ever popular head roll/thrust generally followed with verbal insults.

Another obvious great indicator is the mock attacks such as shadow boxing, slamming fist on table (wall, door, etc.), head butting gesture, kicking, etc without actually making physical contact with you.

Attentive Body Language

Attentive body language

Attentive body language is the act of showing through body language that you are listening and hearing what another is saying. Yawning or nodding off would be an example of inattentive body language.

Being able to properly exhibit attentive body language can make a huge impact if you are applying for a job, or are in any field of employment that requires verbal contact with people.

Another situation where having great skills in attentive body language is in personal relationships and intimate situations.

Strong attentive body language shows that you have a sincere interest in what another is saying, is flattering, and will most likely result in mutual attention.

Closed Body Language

closed body language

Have you ever wondered if your spouse, friend, co-worker, or boss was bored with everything that came out of your mouth, but you were not quite able to tell by their body language?

Well now, you will be able to tell if what you are saying is falling upon deaf ears. One of the first cues that someone is totally tuning you out is their gaze level.

If they are constantly distracted by every little noise or movement you can bet they are not truly paying attention to you, regardless of how many times they tell you they are listening.

Watch for frigidity hands, feet, twitching eyes, all of these are other indicators you do not have not captured your audience attention. A huge clue is when a person begins to yawn or slouch.

Granted, yawning is can be an indicator that a person is lacking oxygen, however, when bored, a person will also yawn.

If someone straight up falls asleep on you, then you have a real problem with your presentation skills and should consider taking some speech or effective communication classes.

Some reasons people may choose to tune out is that the topic you are discussing with them is something they do not want to listen to or they have heard repeatedly from you in the first place.

Examples of closed body language are curling up in a ball, rocking, tightly folded arms, almost in a self-hug formation, legs tightly crossed or even twisted/intertwined with one another, or with a chair or table leg, and a downward gaze or fixated gaze at an object, wall, or even feet.

There may be much reason why you receive closed body language from an individual. Do not automatically assume it is all about you or what you are saying.

Deceptive Body Language

Deceptive body language

Deceptive body language should be necessary for everyone to learn. It can help you to distinguish if someone is being honest with you or trying to pull a fast one.

Mind you, there are those that are quite good at covering deceptive body language, such as sales people, psychopaths, and criminally minded individuals. One common way to tell if a person is being deceptive by their body language is to watch for anxiety cues.

Some common anxiety cues are sweating, tension, rubbing back of the neck or other body parts, sudden movements, body twitches, voice change and increase in speed of speech, chewing on the inside of one’s mouth, and shoving hands in pockets or high fidgety.

A person, when lying, will often times try to hide their deception by attempting to gain control over their body language through forced smiles and exaggerated hand gestures.

This may present as odd clumsy or jerky presenting movements. Their speech may present hesitated in their attempted to slow it down and thinking intensively as to what to say next.

Defensive Body Language

Defensive body language

Defensive body language expresses a person’s feeling of physical or emotional threat or personal space being invaded. Automatically when a person feels like they are at risks of physical attack, they cower to protect vital body organs.

They may curl up in a ball and tuck their head in. Men when faced with attack by a female almost always aim to protect their groin first. If you even pretend like you are going to strike a man, watch how fast they protect the family jewels by either lifting a leg with a knee cross protection, or their hands drop to cross in front of their crotch.

When face up against another man, men will generally post in a fending off stance with arms drawn out and jaw/nose region protected. They will harden their muscles in order to withstand an attack better.

Another common body language signal that will tell you if a woman is uneasy is, if carrying a purse or a bag, the grip will become tighter and it will be drawn in close to their body.

They will attempt to not make a single move with their body to draw attention to themselves while at the opposite side of the spectrum, they a person in a defensive mode will scan a room or location for an escape route, or may even flee the room if the perceive the threat level too high.

Some individual when faced in a possible threatening situation my not ever exhibit signs of defensive body language, and instead present with either submissive or aggressive body language.
