What the Body Says
People often communicate feelings without saying a word. A relaxed posture and steady eye contact may show confidence, while folded arms can suggest that a person feels uncomfortable or defensive. However, body language does not have one universal meaning. Someone may fold their arms simply because they are cold. Facial expressions can also be misleading. A smile usually suggests happiness, but people sometimes smile when they feel nervous or embarrassed. For this reason, it is important to consider the situation, the speaker's words and several non-verbal signals together. In a formal meeting, for example, a person who avoids eye contact may be showing respect rather than hiding something. Careful observers do not jump to conclusions; they look for patterns and ask polite questions when necessary.
