Nervousness can be evident in nonverbal signals from "summary" of Linguagem Corporal by Igor Dias
When we feel nervous, our body often betrays us by displaying certain nonverbal signals that give away our inner state of mind. These signals can manifest in a variety of ways, such as fidgeting, sweating, trembling, or avoiding eye contact. These unconscious behaviors are an outward reflection of our internal emotional state, making it difficult to hide our true feelings from others. One of the most common nonverbal signals of nervousness is fidgeting. When we are nervous, we may find ourselves tapping our feet, playing with our hair, or drumming our fingers on a table. This restless behavior is a clear indication of our internal anxiety, as our bodies seek an outlet for the pent-up energy caused by our nerves. Sweating is another telltale sign of nervousness that is difficult to conceal. When we are anxious, our bodies go into fight-or-flight mode, releasing adrenaline and causing our sweat glands to become more active. This can result in sweaty palms, a shiny forehead, or damp armpits – all of which are physical manifestations of our heightened state of arousal. Trembling is another common nonverbal signal of nervousness that can be hard to control. When we are nervous, our muscles may tense up, causing our hands or legs to shake uncontrollably. This trembling is a physical response to the adrenaline coursing through our bodies, and is often a clear indicator to others that we are feeling anxious. Avoiding eye contact is a nonverbal behavior that can also reveal our nervousness. When we are anxious, we may find it difficult to maintain eye contact with others, as doing so can feel intimidating or overwhelming. Instead, we may look away, down at the ground, or off to the side – all of which are subtle cues that we are feeling nervous in the moment.- Nervousness can be evident in a variety of nonverbal signals that are difficult to hide or control. From fidgeting and sweating to trembling and avoiding eye contact, our bodies have a way of betraying our inner emotions and revealing our true feelings to those around us. These nonverbal behaviors serve as a window into our internal state of mind, allowing others to see past our words and understand the emotions that lie beneath the surface.
