1.
Failing to nod or smile
Nod or smile is the first thing most people would notice, it can be used as powerful nonverbal
cues to let someone know that you are actively listening.
Smiles put those around you at ease.
While some people won't pay attention to the position of your legs and arms, everybody
will react to the signal conveyed on your face.
Besides, smiling makes you feel good yourself!
So, try to perform the perfect smile in your everyday encounter.
2.
Poor legs and feet position
The position of your legs and feet are more subconscious and therefore, more difficult
to control.
Yet it can convey your insecurity and give away your state of mind or hidden intentions.
The way you place your legs when sitting can also reveal something about your personality.
People choosing position 1 (knees together, feet apart) project an image of somebody childish,
insecure, and dreamy.
Position 2 (Crossed legs) may reveal a defensive, distant, or closed-minded attitude.
Position 3 signals dominance and significance.
However, it also reveals arrogance and is often inappropriate and impolite in formal
situations.
Position 4 (Parallel legs) is a neutral position, making you look open and calm.
Position 5 is more common for women and makes them look more feminine and attractive.
3.
Not mirroring others
Mirroring allows you to build rapport with others.
It also develops trust and allows you to engage in deeper conversations.
Research shows that although men find mirroring harder than women,
women are more influenced by mirroring and find men who repeat their gestures or posture
more attractive.
4.
Incorrect position of fingers and hands
Rubbing of palms or placing the fingers of one hand over the fingers of the other hand
to form a "steeple" should be used with caution.
They may give the impression that you are trying to deceive another person or impose
your thoughts rather than convince them.
This is due to our believe that doing that is a sign that someone has an ulterior motive
behind it.
5.
Fidgeting
Fidgeting with your hair, hands, phone, or any other object can be distracting for your
communication partner and prevent them from focusing.
You, on the other hand, will appear weak and distracted, although a recent study shows
that fidgeting helps one to retain information better.
Don't look at your phone or watch while talking to somebody, especially someone you
just know or one that you need to give respect, because it is rude and shows that you are
not interested in the conversation.
6.
Inappropriate eye contact
This is the reason why we need to perform an excellent eye contact.
Avoiding eye contact makes you look unprepared or unprofessional in a business meeting and
insecure or insincere during a date or at a party.
On the other hand, according to the body language expert Carol Kinsey Goman, too much eye contact
could seem rude, intimidating, and hostile.
7.
Weak handshakes
You know, handshake is a certain thing any interviewer will use to determine your character.
A firm handshake is important.
Someone with a weak handshake can be viewed as lacking authority and confidence.
Although, if your handshake is too strong, you may be perceived as aggressive.
One of the worst handshakes is called a "wet fish handshake",
a weak handshake with cold and sweaty hands that gives the impression of a person who
is weak in character and cold in nature.
8.
Crossed arms
I have mentioned it before in my previous video.
Standing or sitting with crossed arms is a defensive position,
which can give the impression that you are neither impressed nor interested.
Holding your arms parallel to the body, on the other hand, shows that you are open for
conversation.
Even better, holding your hands back shows your superiority, power, and confidence.
However, according to some research, crossed arms indicates greater persistence when dealing
with difficult tasks.
So, keep in mind that you need to be careful in this situation.
9.
Exaggerated gestures
When a person is moving their hands wildly, it signals a lack of confidence and professionalism.
It's no surprise that nervous movements such as cracking your knuckles, playing with
your hair, or biting your nails and lips make you look anxious and insecure.
Yet the absolute lack of gestures can be harmful as well and signal a loss of interest.
So, monitor your hand and arm movements in every important encounters.
10.
Poor posture
Standing with your shoulders drooped makes you look insignificant, weak, and unconfident.
If you slouch in your seat or lean too far back, it signals to others that you are too
comfortable and disinterested in what you are doing.
If you are still not convinced, there is scientific proof that slouching can lower your mood and
self-esteem.
Well, that's the 10 body language mistakes you need to fix as soon as possible in order
to make the full use of our body language.
