Gesture of a hand to the forehead and the other to the side. What does it mean to cover your face with one hand and move the other to the side?

The dab movement is a newfangled dance gesture that is not associated (at least in post-Soviet territory) with any traditions or rituals. Perhaps through this trick, the meaning of which at first was only guesswork:

• Rugby players “feign joy” after each successfully thrown ball;

• artists, such as rappers, use the dab hand movement to add variety to their performances;

• people united by some common idea convey the news of their successes to the general public.

Dabbing is just a fashion statement

The fashionable gesture, the meaning of which has puzzled rugby fans for so long, is quite simple to perform: with their heads bent over their arm bent at the elbow, rugby players (and rugby players) freeze in this position for a few short moments.

A gesture vaguely reminiscent of the dab movement was seen in the "fearsome dance" New Zealand rugby players invariably demonstrate to the opposing team before the start of each match. The athletes from New Zealand, as it turned out, “borrowed” this spectacle “not for the faint of heart” from their distant ancestors, who called themselves the Maori people.

Some witty fans have already given the dab a fitting name - the "stupid bow", with most fans agreeing that if only one rugby player had made the stupid gesture, no one would have noticed it.

As it turned out later, the dab movement is nothing more than a newfangled hit the dab dance step, borrowed by US youth from African dancers. It also became known that white-skinned “dancers” make African Americans extremely nervous. According to media reports, black Americans are not happy that a movement that is part of their national culture has “gone to the masses.”

The dissatisfaction of the African-American population is further aggravated by the fact that most “palefaces” do dab incorrectly.

“Parents” of dabbing. Who are they?

When asked what the dab movement means, representatives of the older generation - regulars at discos in the 1970s and 1980s - answer that dab has nothing to do with attempts to offend someone or incite ethnic hatred. The movement really came from African Americans of yesteryear, who, after sniffing the “happy” powder, sneezed, involuntarily leaning to the side and taking such a fashionable position today.

According to another version, dab is a body movement from hip-hop dance, which until today has not been particularly popular. To perform it correctly, you need to lower your head down and bend your right arm, clench the palm of the same hand into a fist and bring it to your head, while your left arm remains straight and slightly extended to the left. The whole composition looks like a dynamic dance movement.

The reason for the interest of the Russian media in this strange and not everyone understood dance step was... a conflict that flared up between two popular Russian rap performers and their fans. The "Tiger" video, released by L"One, is driving Jacques-Anthony's followers crazy, not at all because of the traditional "who is better" debate, but because of the notorious gesture, or rather, because of which Russian rapper was the first to use the dab movement in his work (in this case, Jacques-Anthony claims authorship).

The founders of American dabbing are considered to be members of the group Migos. In any case, they were the first to show dab: first at concerts, and later in video clips.

What does dab movement mean?

To teach everyone how to perform this movement correctly, black rappers took the time to create numerous video lessons. According to black performers, it is necessary to bury your nose in the inner part of the elbow of your bent arm and make a characteristic “sneeze” (the other arm is extended upward).

What is the meaning of this body movement that makes crowds of fans tear out their hair and clothes? Dab is a common dance gesture based on the habit of sniffing white powder from the elbow.

A funny incident happened in London

A group of young people gathered on the steps of the British Museum for a flash mob, during which everyone planned to perform the dab movement. A man who happened to be nearby also decided to take part. He raised his hand, but, misinterpreting the purpose of such a large meeting, instead of “debating”, he reproduced the SS salute.

Hand gestures and their meaning

Psychologists say that gestures can say even more about a person’s emotions than his words, because we most often make body movements unconsciously, automatically, obeying internal sensations, and we cannot always control them. Therefore, it is useful to know what gestures mean, for example, hands, in order to understand how sincere your interlocutor is, open, calm or excited, etc.

What do hand and palm gestures mean?

Human hands are almost always visible. And they always pay a lot of attention to them in a communication situation. If your opponent is overwhelmed by strong emotions, then his palms and hands are unlikely to be at rest; most likely, he will twirl something in his hands, stroke something, touch things, his clothes, hair, etc. It is important to know what hand gestures say in order to correctly interpret the behavior of your interlocutor, focusing not only on words.

The very first gesture that can say a lot about a person is a greeting handshake. If he has a domineering nature, he will extend his hand first, turning it palm down. Wanting to show special respect and even servility, people extend their hand, facing downwards. A compliant, non-conflicting and somewhat shy opponent will most likely give you his hand with his edge up. An insecure, weak-willed person will have a tense and straight hand and a weak handshake.

Other hand gestures and their meaning:

• a person often spreads his arms to the sides and shows his palms - he is sincere and open to communication;
• crossed arms and palms, on the contrary, indicate wariness and not readiness for contact;
• palms folded on top of each other indicate the opponent’s inflated conceit;
• hands in pockets, especially if a person is sitting, is a sign of aggression and irritability;
• the hands are in motion, the person constantly strokes his hair with his palms, touches his face, etc. – he is trying to lie;
• a person covers his mouth with his hand - he does not agree with you, but does not dare to object;
• straight palms pressed to each other are a sign of a purposeful and tough person in communication;
• palms lie on the edge of the table - your opponent expects to receive support from you;
• half-bent hands - the interlocutor does not want conflict, is ready for any compromises in communication;
• one hand holds the wrist with the other - the person is not sure of his actions and words, but is trying to pull himself together.

The most common finger gestures and their meaning

There are so-called international gestures that are well understood by people from different countries of the world. And they are often used to overcome the language barrier. However, you should still be careful when using some finger gestures that are familiar to Europeans, for example, in Muslim and some other countries. After all, here they can be interpreted as indecent.

So the well-known “OK” sign - the thumb and index finger folded in a ring - is usually an expression of approval. But in Brazil and Arab countries it means a hint of intimate relationships and is considered offensive. In Japan, this gesture should be understood as the question “How much does it cost?”

Meaning of other finger gestures:

• fingers clasped in a “lock” - an expression of silent disagreement with your words, even if the person smiles at the same time, be sure that he will reject your proposal;
• fingers clenched into a fist is a sign of pent-up aggression; your opponent is most likely about to explode;
• joined fingertips forming a hut is a sign of the interlocutor’s self-confidence, he feels a sense of superiority, and your words make him smile condescendingly.

What do widely spread arms mean?

What are the options?

Lanusya

If a person is lying down, maybe he is resting. It's usually good to lie in the grass this way. If a person with his arms outstretched on the floor is breathing intermittently and convulsing, he most likely feels unwell and needs to call an ambulance. If a person spreads his arms to the sides in response to your question, he apparently does not know what to answer you. And if he runs towards you and spreads his arms wide, run into his arms! Well, if this is regarded as body language, then the interlocutor is favorable towards you and has nothing to hide from you.

Jarptica

Wide arms are not a very popular gesture these days. Now people are trying to restrain their emotions and are more cold. People remember what this gesture means:

1. Exercise (exercise).
2. Hello (greeting).
3. Embrace.
4. A lack of money.
5. Size (for example, fish caught).
6. Balance (gymnast in the circus).

There can be many options. Here are a few of them:

1. Arms spread wide to the sides, with straight shoulders and arms raised up, a smile and grace on the face - the person is happy, he wants to embrace the whole world, perhaps for the first time he has found himself in some very beautiful place and at the same time feels a feeling of delight.
2. Arms spread wide apart, with tension throughout the body - the person has woken up and is stretching.
3. Arms spread wide apart when meeting someone is a gesture of greeting, the joy of meeting and the desire to hug.
4. Arms spread wide to the sides, but at the same time shoulders raised, head to one side, a crooked smile - a gesture of bewilderment.

But the figure of the Vitruvian Man with his arms spread wide, inscribed in a circle and square, which Leonardo da Vinci painted in the 15th century, is a symbol of the proportions of the human body. For example, the distance between widely spread arms is equal to a person’s height.

Hunter nickname

Most often, arms spread wide can mean a willingness to hug a person whom they have seen and are incredibly happy about. Sometimes this gesture can mean surprise. If you find out whether a person is telling you the truth, then this gesture speaks of his sincerity.

But it’s still worth looking at the situation and the person’s facial expressions in order to more accurately determine what this gesture means in a particular case.

Strymbrym

As a rule, arms spread wide apart is a gesture of helplessness, meaning the person does not know what and how he can help you. Other times, it's a willingness to hug and greet you. There are also special gestures, for example by installers, where such a gesture means that the action is finished.

Victor

Widely spread arms mean a person is open and hospitable. This means that he is glad to see you and wants to hug you :) Also, if a person spreads his hands, this may mean that he cannot help you in any way in this situation, just throw up his hands. Or, on the contrary, he spreads the clouds above your head with his hands.

Body language or meaning of gestures...

Gestures (their meaning)

Knowledge of body language (the meaning of various gestures, facial expressions, etc.) is mandatory in the West for managers, starting from middle management. This article gives the meaning of only a very few gestures out of all their diversity.

Gestures of openness. Among them, the following can be distinguished: Open hands with palms up / a gesture associated with sincerity and openness /, a shrug accompanied by a gesture of open hands / indicates openness of nature/, unbuttoning a jacket / people who are open and friendly towards you often unbutton their jacket during a conversation and even remove it in your presence/. For example, when children are proud of their achievements, they openly show their hands, and when they feel guilty or wary, they hide their hands either in their pockets or behind their backs. Experts also noticed that during successful negotiations, their participants unbutton their jackets, straighten their legs, and move to the edge of the chair close to the table, which separates them from the interlocutor.

Gestures of protection /defensive/. They respond to possible threats and conflict situations. When we see that the interlocutor has his arms crossed on his chest, we should reconsider what we are doing or saying, because he begins to move away from the discussion. Hands clenched into fists also mean a defensive reaction from the speaker.

Gestures of appreciation . They express thoughtfulness and dreaminess. For example, the “hand on cheek” gesture - people resting their cheek on their hand are usually immersed in deep thought. A gesture of critical assessment - the chin rests on the palm. the index finger is extended along the cheek, the remaining fingers are below the mouth / “wait and see” position/. A person sits on the edge of a chair, elbows on hips, arms hanging freely / “this is wonderful!” position. A bowed head is a gesture of attentive listening. So, if the majority of listeners in the audience do not have their heads bowed, it means that the group as a whole is not interested in the material that the teacher is presenting. Scratching the chin / "okay, let's think about it" gesture / is used when a person is busy making a decision. Gestures about glasses / wipes glasses, puts the frame of glasses in the mouth, etc./ - this is a pause for reflection. reflecting on one's situation before more vigorously resisting, asking for clarification or raising a question.

pacing . - a gesture indicating an attempt to solve a complex problem or make a difficult decision. Pinching the bridge of the nose is a gesture, usually combined with closed eyes, and indicates deep concentration of intense thought.

Gestures of boredom . They are expressed by tapping your foot on the floor or clicking the cap of a pen. Head in the palm of your hand. Automatic drawing on paper. Empty look / “I look at you, but I don’t listen” /.

Gestures of courtship, "preening" . For women, they look like smoothing their hair, straightening their hair, clothes, looking at themselves in the mirror and turning in front of it; swaying your hips, slowly crossing and spreading your legs in front of a man, stroking yourself on your calves, knees, thighs; balancing shoes on the tips of the fingers / “in your presence I feel comfortable” /, for men - adjusting a tie, cufflinks, jacket, straightening the whole body, moving the chin up and down, etc.

Gestures of suspicion and secrecy . The hand covers the mouth - the interlocutor carefully hides his position on the issue under discussion. Looking to the side is an indicator of secrecy. The legs or the whole body are facing the exit - a sure sign that the person wants to end the conversation or meeting. Touching or rubbing the nose with the index finger is a sign of doubt / other varieties of this gesture are rubbing the index finger behind the ear or in front of the ear, rubbing the eyes /

Gestures of dominance and submission. Superiority can be expressed in a welcoming handshake. When a person shakes your hand firmly and turns it so that his palm rests on top of yours, he is trying to express something like physical superiority. And, conversely, when he extends his hand with his palm up, it means he is ready to accept a subordinate role. When the interlocutor’s hand is casually tucked into his jacket pocket during a conversation, and his thumb is outside, this expresses the person’s confidence in his superiority.

Gestures of readiness . Hands on hips are the first sign of readiness (this can often be observed in athletes waiting for their turn to perform). A variation of this pose in a sitting position - a person sits on the edge of a chair, the elbow of one hand and the palm of the other resting on the knees / this is how they sit immediately before concluding an agreement or. on the contrary, before getting up and leaving/.

Reinsurance gestures . Different finger movements reflect different sensations: uncertainty, internal conflict, fears. In this case, the child sucks his finger, the teenager bites his nails, and the adult often replaces his finger with a fountain pen or pencil and bites them. Other gestures of this group are interlocking fingers, with the thumbs rubbing each other; pinching of the skin; touching the back of a chair before sitting down in a gathering of other people.

For women, a typical gesture of instilling inner confidence is a slow and graceful raising of the hand to the neck.

Gestures of frustration. They are characterized by short, intermittent breathing, often accompanied by unclear sounds such as moaning, mooing, etc. Anyone who does not notice the moment when his opponent begins to breathe rapidly and continues to prove his point may run into trouble; tightly intertwined, tense hands - a gesture of distrust and suspicion / one who tries, by clasping his hands, to assure others of his sincerity, usually fails /, hands tightly clasping one another - this means the person is in a “trouble”, for example, must answer a question , containing a serious accusation against him / stroking the neck with the palm / in many cases when a person is defending himself / - women usually adjust their hair in these situations.

Gestures of trust . The fingers are connected like the dome of a temple / "dome" gesture/, which means trust and some self-satisfaction, selfishness or pride / a very common gesture in boss-subordinate relationships/.

Gestures of authoritarianism. The hands are connected behind the back, the chin is raised (this is how army commanders, police officers, and senior leaders often stand). In general, if you want to make your superiority clear, you just need to physically rise above your opponent - sit above him if you are talking while sitting, or maybe stand in front of him.

Gestures of nervousness . Coughing, clearing the throat /those who often do this feel insecure, anxious/, elbows are placed on the table, forming a pyramid, the top of which is the hands located directly in front of the mouth / such people play “cat and mouse” with partners while they do not give them the opportunity to “reveal their cards,” which is indicated by moving their hands away from their mouths onto the table, jingling coins in their pockets, indicating concern about the availability or lack of money; tugging at one's ear is a sign that the interlocutor wants to interrupt the conversation, but is restraining himself.

Gestures of self-control. Hands placed behind the back and tightly clenched. Another pose - sitting in a chair, a person crossed his ankles and grabbed the armrests with his hands / typical for waiting for an appointment with the dentist /. The gestures of this group signal a desire to deal with strong feelings and emotions.

Body language expressed in gait.

The most important are speed, size of steps, degree of tension, body movements associated with walking, and placement of toes. Don't forget about the influence of shoes (especially for women)!

Fast or slow gait depends on temperament and strength of impulses: restless-nervous – lively and active – calm and relaxed – sluggish-lazy (for example, with a relaxed, saggy posture, etc.)

Wide steps(more often in men than in women): often extroversion, determination, zeal, enterprise, efficiency. Most likely aimed at distant goals.

Short, small steps(more often in women than in men): rather introversion, caution, calculation, adaptability, quick thinking and reactions, restraint.

Emphatically wide and slow gait– desire to show off, actions with pathos. Strong and heavy movements should always demonstrate to others the strength and importance of the individual. Question: really?

Pronounced relaxed gait- lack of interest, indifference, aversion to coercion and responsibility, or in many young people - immaturity, lack of self-discipline, or snobbery.

Noticeably small and at the same time fast steps, rhythmically disturbed: anxiety, timidity of various shades. (Unconscious goal: to evade, give way to any danger).

Rhythmically strong gait, swaying slightly back and forth(with increased movements of the hips), claiming some space: naive-instinctive and self-confident natures.

Shuffling, sagging gait refusal of volitional efforts and aspirations, lethargy, slowness, laziness.

Heavy "proud" gait, in which there is something theatrical, not entirely appropriate, when when walking slowly the steps are relatively small (a contradiction), when the upper part of the body is held emphatically and too straight, perhaps with a disturbed rhythm: overestimation of oneself, arrogance, narcissism.

Firm, angular, stilted, wooden gait(unnatural tension in the legs, the body cannot sway naturally): tightness, lack of contact, timidity - hence, as compensation, excessive hardness, overexertion.

Unnaturally jerky gait, pointedly large and fast steps, noticeable waving of the arms back and forth: the existing and demonstrated activity is often just meaningless busyness and efforts regarding some of one’s own desires.

Constant lifting up(on tense toes): upward striving, driven by an ideal, a strong need, a sense of intellectual superiority.

Posture

Good relaxed posture– it is based on high receptivity and openness to the environment, the ability to immediately use internal strengths, natural self-confidence and a sense of security.

Body stiffness or tension: a self-defensive reaction when they feel out of place and want to pull away. Greater or lesser constraint, avoidance of contacts, closedness, self-focused state of mind. Often sensitivity (impressionability with the need to evaluate oneself).

Constant tension and external rigidity with a certain coldness of manifestations: sensitive natures who try to hide behind the appearance of firmness and confidence (often quite successfully).

Poor, sluggish posture: outside and inside "hang your nose"

Slouched back: humility, submission, sometimes servility. This is a spiritual state that is confirmed by a facial expression known to everyone.

Commonly adopted conventional poses(for example, one or two hands in pockets, hands behind the back or crossed on the chest, etc.) - if not associated with states of tension: lack of independence, the need to quietly include oneself in the general order. It is often observed when several people gather in a group.

Body Language - Shoulder Girdle and Upper Body

Combination: high shoulders with a slightly hunched back and a more or less retracted chin(more or less bowed head, pulled into the shoulders): a feeling of threat and the resulting defensive behavior: helplessness, a feeling of “stubble,” fear, nervousness, timidity. If it persists constantly, it is an established trait that has developed from a prolonged stay in a state of intimidation, for example, with constant fear of parents or a spouse (domestic tyrant).

Shoulders falling forward– a feeling of weakness and depression, humility, a feeling or inferiority complex.

Squeezing the shoulders forward and outward- with strong fear, horror.

Free shoulder drop– a feeling of confidence, inner freedom, mastery of the situation.

Shoulder push back– a feeling of strength, one’s own capabilities, activity, enterprise, determination to act, often overestimating oneself.

Alternating raising and lowering of shoulders– inability to establish something accurately, doubts, thoughts, skepticism.

Protruding chest(intensive inhalations and exhalations, a constant large amount of air remaining in the lungs):

“+”: consciousness of strength, strong sense of one’s personality, activity, enterprise, need for social contacts.

“-”: (especially if emphasized): arrogance, “inflated” person, “inflated” intentions, overestimation of oneself.

Sunken chest(exhalation is more intense than inhalation, there is a minimal amount of air in the lungs) – often the shoulders fall forward:

“+”: inner peace, a certain indifference, isolation, but all this is within the boundaries of the positive, as it stems from weakness of motives.

“-”: poor health, lack of drive and vitality, passivity, humility, depression (especially with a general loss of strength).

Hands rest on hips: the need for strengthening, strengthening. Demonstration to others of one’s firmness, confidence, stability and superiority: hands are not used at all in an argument, claims to a large space. Challenge, bravado. Often compensation for hidden feelings of weakness or embarrassment. The action is enhanced when the legs are spread wide and the head is pulled back.

The arms support the upper body by leaning on something, for example, against a table, the back of a chair, a low platform, etc.: this is an upper body supporting movement for someone who is weak on their feet; in a psychological sense - the desire for spiritual support in the face of internal uncertainty.

An exciting comedy with a touch of charm, thanks to the handsome main character in the image of David Duchovny, it is unique! Californication is wonderful humor and psychological tension at the same time! Comedy with elements of drama - a great combination!

Wedding glasses look amazing, elegant and delicate in the hands of the newlyweds and on the festive table! A mandatory wedding attribute will highlight the joy of the bride and groom with crystal ringing. The charm of glasses lies in their exclusivity!

Features of nonverbal communication

Many gestures are not recorded by consciousness, but fully convey a person’s mood and thoughts. If you want to be known as an attentive and interesting interlocutor, then you need to understand gestures and facial expressions.

Many gestures are not recorded by consciousness, but fully convey a person’s mood and thoughts. If you want to become an attentive and interesting interlocutor, then it makes sense to understand gestures and facial expressions, and study the signals given through non-verbal communication.

- fingers clasped. Three options are possible: crossed fingers raised at face level, lying on the table, lying on the knees. This gesture indicates disappointment and the desire of the interlocutor to hide his negative attitude;

- mouth protection with hand(this can only be a few fingers or a fist). This gesture means that the listener feels that you are lying;

- scratching and rubbing the ear. This gesture indicates that the person has heard enough and wants to speak out;

- scratching the neck. Such a gesture indicates a person’s doubt and uncertainty;

- collar pull. This gesture is used when a person is angry or upset. It can also be used in the case when a person lied and suspected that his deception was discovered;

- fingers in mouth. This gesture speaks of an internal need for approval and support;

- palm resting cheek. The gesture indicates that the interlocutor has become bored;

- the index finger is directed vertically to the temple, and the thumb supports the chin. The gesture indicates that the interlocutor has a negative or critical attitude towards what he hears;

Companion rubs his forehead, temples, chin, covers his face with his hands- this indicates that he is not in the mood to talk to anyone at the moment;

Human looks away- this is the clearest indicator that he is hiding something;

- arms crossed on chest the interlocutor signals that it is better to end the conversation or move on to another topic. If the interlocutor crosses his arms and clenches his palms into fists, this means that he is extremely hostile. It is necessary to end the conversation as soon as possible. If the interlocutor clasps his shoulders when crossing his arms, this means that he is ready to go hand-to-hand;

- "pinching the bridge of the nose" gesture the “thinker” pose, when they rest their cheek with their hand - these are gestures of reflection and evaluation;

- scratching with the index finger of the right hand the area under the earlobe or the side of the neck. rubbing your nose with your index finger are gestures of doubt that indicate that something is unclear to the interlocutor;

An offended person most often takes the following pose. He raises his shoulders and lowers his head. If the interlocutor has taken exactly this position, then the topic of conversation should be changed;

A person trying to end a conversation lowers eyelids. If your interlocutor wears glasses, he will take off his glasses and put them aside;

If your interlocutor bites the temples of his glasses or constantly takes off and puts on glasses, this means that he is delaying the time to make a decision. In this case, you need to help your interlocutor and give him the time he needs to think;

If your interlocutor walks around the room. this means that the conversation interests him, but he needs to think before making a decision;

Gestures and character

A smug and arrogant man puts his hands together.

A confident person who wants to show his superiority over others can be recognized by the gestures of “putting hands behind the back with a wrist grip” and “placing hands behind the head.” Communication with such a person is difficult. Therefore, if they want to win him over, they lean forward a little with outstretched palms and ask him to explain something. Another way is to copy the gesture.

If the interlocutor suddenly begins to pick up lint from his clothes, and at the same time turns away from the speaker or looks at the floor, this means that he does not agree with what was said or does not want to express his opinion.

A person who, during a conversation, holds his hands on the side edges of the chair or his hands lie on his knees, wants to end the conversation. In this case, the conversation is immediately stopped.

By the way the listener exhales cigarette smoke, one can determine his attitude towards the interlocutor and the conversation. If he blows smoke constantly upward, it means he is positive and enjoying the conversation. If the smoke is directed downward, then the person, on the contrary, is in a negative mood, and the faster he releases the smoke, the more unpleasant the conversation is to him.

Gait is also an important determining factor in a person’s momentary state. If a person has his hands in his pockets or is waving them, if he is looking at his feet, he is in a depressed state. A person whose hands are clasped behind his back and his head is lowered is preoccupied with something.

Dropped shoulders and a raised head mean that a person is determined to succeed and is in control of the situation. Head tilted to one side - the interlocutor is interested. Rubbing the eyelid - the interlocutor is telling a lie. Raised shoulders mean that the interlocutor is tense and feels danger emanating from you. Raised shoulders and a lowered head are a sign of isolation. The interlocutor is either unsure of himself, or afraid of something, or dissatisfied with the conversation, or feels humiliated.

In order to achieve the desired goal in a conversation, it is not enough to be an attentive person; you yourself need to use gestures of openness during the conversation that will help win over your interlocutor, invite him to a frank conversation and leave the most favorable impression about yourself. Gestures of openness include the “open arms” gesture, when they extend their hands to the interlocutor with their palms up, and the “unbuttoning the jacket” gesture.

Watch your facial expressions: your lips should not be tightly compressed, and there should be a half-smile on your face (downturned corners of your mouth are unacceptable - this means that you are upset about something, and no one needs such an interlocutor). When you look at your interlocutor, visually try to draw a triangle on his face, into which you need to look. This helps you concentrate as much as possible

If possible, keep your fingers together. When eating, dancing, or smoking, do not put your little finger out to the side; it will look cutesy and mannered. It is also rude to point fingers.

When talking with someone, look into the eyes of the interlocutor. Well-mannered people know how to control their gaze and facial expressions, giving their faces a natural expression.

There are situations when during a conversation there is an irresistible desire to sneeze. You can stop yourself from doing this: just rub the bridge of your nose.

Handshake and character traits

A commanding handshake promotes submission. It can actually make it impossible to establish equal relationships. This handshake is typical for people who want to lead and subordinate. At the same time, the palm is directed downward, and therefore the partner is simply forced to turn the palm upward. It is recommended to respond to an authoritative handshake like this:

Grab your wrist from above and then shake it. This will allow for some time to unsettle the person who intends to command.

shake a person's hand with both hands. This handshake is possible between politicians because it symbolizes trust. This gesture, however, should not be used when meeting someone, because it can cause rejection in a stranger.

An indifferent handshake is a weak touch between the hands. Such a lifeless touch leaves the feeling that the person who makes such a gesture has a weak will.

A strong handshake is one that can cause pain. It is usually preferred by serious people whose main character trait is the desire to conquer.

A restrictive handshake, i.e. shaking with an arm that is not bent at the elbow, helps maintain a certain distance between people and leaves the personal area inviolable. This type of handshake is typical for people who are aggressive or who want to protect themselves from the pressure of others. If during a restrictive handshake only the fingers are put into the palm, then this indicates that the person does not feel confident.

A pulling handshake, in which one of the partners pulls the hand of the other, may mean that this person is so unsure of himself that he simply needs to be in a personal area.

Hand gestures and their meaning

Research has proven that the number of nerve connections between the hands and the brain is much greater than between any other parts of the body. Subconsciously, your hands show your true attitude towards others, a place or a situation. By the way you position your hands, rub your palms, and move your fingers, any observant person can tell how you really feel.

Numerous experiments have shown how people respond to hand gestures. When the speaker is in a palms up position, listeners react positively to what is being said. When the same message is pronounced, but with the palms facing down, the audience’s level of trust in these words significantly decreases.

Hand gestures that demonstrate honesty and openness

Since ancient times, open hands have been considered a sign of unarmedness, an indicator that a person is trustworthy. If you need an easy way to understand how open and honest your interlocutor is with you, pay attention to where his palms are facing. If one or both palms are facing up, then it is very likely that you are hearing the truth. The same rule applies when the palms are open and facing the speaker's face.

But of course, entertainers, professional liars and used car salesmen know this trick, and use it to convince you of their sincerity and honesty. But you are able to understand that something is fishy because other indicators of honesty are missing, such as open facial expressions, calm breathing, and a relaxed posture.

When you want to establish a sense of trust and honesty, allow your hands to be open, otherwise it may seem like you are hiding something. You can also use the open hand gesture to establish contact with your audience, help them grasp the main idea of ​​the report and show that you value their opinion:

Let's say you want to express a thought without words. Bend your elbows 90° and spread them out to the sides so that your palms face each other. It's like you're showing how big a fish you caught. Slowly show with your palms what you want to express and you will soon realize that your listeners see this picture.

During your speech, when you want to listen to the opinion of a listener in the audience, turn to him and point in his direction with an open palm. The gesture is similar to when you give a gift. With this gesture you give a chance to speak, the interlocutor feels gratitude and your interest in his opinion.

If the interlocutor holds both hands in front of him, with his palms facing his body, as if hugging someone, he is showing you to join his opinion.

Gestures of power and authoritarianism

Turn your hands palms down and get a gesture of power and authoritarianism. This gesture says “I am in control. Do as I say! Be careful when using this gesture, especially if your fingers are almost closed, as it is associated with dominance and tyranny.

If you are still in doubt, look at the Nazi greeting of the Third Reich. When you want to calm a tense situation or ask for silence, rhythmically lower and raise your downward-facing palms with your fingers slightly apart. Make sure your fingers are really relaxed, otherwise you may cause a backlash.

Defensive hand gestures

With such gestures a person tries to protect himself from the world around him or reacts to possible threats. Usually, if your interlocutor crosses his arms or clenches them into fists, this means that you should reconsider what you said or switch to some other topic of conversation.

Evaluative hand gestures

Such gestures are usually called gestures that are interpreted as an assessment of your words by your interlocutor. In this case, your interlocutor rests his chin in his palm, may scratch his chin, or his hands may even hang freely from the chair if he is in a sitting position. If a person wipes his glasses, it can also mean that he is in deep thought and is taking a break for this.

Gestures of boredom

When a person becomes really bored of being in your company, he begins to fidget with his fountain pen, tap his fingers on the table, or make other gestures with his hands that distract his attention.

Courtship and preening gestures

As a rule, such gestures are more typical for women. If a woman straightens and smoothes her hair, examines herself in the mirror, this means that she is not indifferent to the interlocutor. The same applies to men, who in such cases straighten their tie, cufflinks or jacket.

Gestures of secrecy and suspicion

If the person who is communicating with you rubs his nose with his index finger or touches his earlobe with it, know that the meaning of such a hand gesture is only one: he is afraid of something and does not trust you. The same is true if the interlocutor rubs his eye.

Gestures of readiness

If a person holds his hands on his hips, the gesture of his hands has only one meaning - his readiness for something. Look at the athletes getting ready to perform. When watching them, you will often see them placing their hands on their hips before they begin their performance. A variation of this gesture in a sitting position can be when a person rests the elbow of one hand and the palm of the other on his knees, as a rule, immediately before concluding any agreement or, conversely, before getting up and leaving.
