Closedoff gestures can indicate discomfort or hesitation from "summary" of Linguagem Corporal by Bill Eady
Closed off gestures, such as crossing one’s arms or legs, can often indicate discomfort or hesitation. When a person adopts these closed off postures, they are creating a physical barrier between themselves and others. This can signal a lack of openness or readiness to engage in conversation or interaction. In social situations, closed off gestures can send a message that the individual is not fully comfortable or confident. These gestures may also indicate a sense of defensiveness or protectiveness. By closing off parts of their body, individuals may be subconsciously trying to shield themselves from perceived threats or risks. This can be a way of creating a sense of safety or security in an unfamiliar or challenging situation. In some cases, closed off gestures may also be a response to feeling overwhelmed or anxious. When someone displays closed off gestures, it is important to consider the context in which these gestures are occurring. For example, if a person is crossing their arms while listening to a particular topic of conversation, it may indicate that they are feeling skeptical or resistant to the information being presented. On the other hand, if someone is crossing their legs while sitting in a relaxed position, it may simply be a matter of comfort rather than discomfort or hesitation.- Closed off gestures can be a valuable indicator of an individual’s emotional state or mindset. By paying attention to these nonverbal cues, we can gain a better understanding of how others are feeling and responding in a given situation. It is important to approach these observations with sensitivity and awareness, as closed off gestures can be a reflection of deeper feelings or concerns that may not be immediately apparent.
