Nervousness can be conveyed through fidgeting from "summary" of Linguagem corporal by Vitor Santos
When we feel nervous, our body often betrays us through subtle movements that we may not even be aware of. One common way that nervousness can manifest itself is through fidgeting. Fidgeting involves small, restless movements like tapping our feet, playing with our hair, or drumming our fingers on a table. These movements can signal to others that we are feeling anxious or uncomfortable in a particular situation. Fidgeting is a form of nonverbal communication that can convey a range of emotions, including nervousness. When we are nervous, our bodies may release excess energy that needs an outlet, leading to fidgeting as a way to release this pent-up energy. These movements can be a subconscious way of trying to calm ourselves down or distract ourselves from our anxiety. Fidgeting can also be a way to self-soothe when we are feeling nervous. By engaging in repetitive movements, we may be able to temporarily alleviate our feelings of anxiety and stress. However, this can also draw attention to our nervous state, as others may pick up on our fidgeting and interpret it as a sign of discomfort. In social situations, fidgeting can be particularly telling. If someone is fidgeting while speaking or interacting with others, it may indicate that they are feeling self-conscious or unsure of themselves. This can be a valuable insight for observers, as it can help them understand the emotional state of the person they are interacting with.- Fidgeting is a subtle yet powerful form of nonverbal communication that can reveal a great deal about our emotional state. By paying attention to our own fidgeting behaviors and being attuned to the fidgeting of others, we can gain a deeper understanding of the emotions that underlie our interactions with those around us.
