Start paying attention to body language from "summary" of Eu sei o que você está pensando by Mark Bowden,Tracey Thomson
To truly understand what someone is thinking or feeling, you need to pay attention to their body language. This is because our body often reveals more than our words. When someone is lying or hiding something, their body language can give them away. By observing their gestures, facial expressions, and posture, you can gain valuable insights into their true intentions. Start by observing the person's facial expressions. The face is a window to the mind, and it can reveal a lot about a person's emotions. Look for micro expressions - fleeting expressions that flash across the face for a fraction of a second. These can betray a person's true feelings, even if they are trying to hide them. Next, pay attention to the person's gestures. The way they use their hands, arms, and body can convey a lot of information. For example, crossed arms can signal defensiveness or a closed-off attitude, while open gestures can indicate receptiveness and honesty. By noticing these cues, you can better understand the person's emotional state. Posture is another important aspect of body language to consider. A person's posture can reveal their level of confidence, interest, and engagement. Leaning in towards someone can signal attentiveness and interest, while slouching or turning away can indicate disinterest or discomfort. In addition to facial expressions, gestures, and posture, pay attention to other subtle cues such as eye contact, tone of voice, and even the way a person uses space. All of these elements can provide valuable clues about what a person is really thinking or feeling. By becoming more attuned to body language, you can improve your ability to communicate effectively and understand others on a deeper level. Remember, words can be deceiving, but the body never lies. Watch carefully, listen attentively, and you will unlock a whole new world of understanding.
