Everyone speaks, eats, and even walks with unique little movements that more or less reflect a person's cultivation and personality. Normally, we all have small actions that we may not even notice ourselves, but do you know what these small actions mean and what kind of information they convey? From these small actions, you can see the psychological state of the person involved. Isn't it magical?
1、 Rub the palm of your hand
When a child sees his mother pushing a cart of things from the supermarket, he is likely to rub his palm and make a gesture of anticipation. Or, a 60-year-old company president was presiding over an important meeting when his secretary sent a note. After reading it, he stood up and rubbed his hands and said, "Everyone, we have won it." ×× "A contract with a significant amount."
In the video of the negotiation, someone quickly rubbed their hands as if expecting something. When starting negotiations, one party is very surprised at this gesture and will immediately pause to ask if the other party has any other arrangements in advance. His smile will tell you that his rubbing of hands only makes us believe that he knows and likes the upcoming events. People often rub their hands like washing hands before performing an activity. Unless his hands are cold, it indicates that he is very interested in the activity. Perhaps this is why gamblers always rub their hands before rolling dice.
Another gesture that seems to be in a bad mood is to slowly rub your wet hand with a piece of cloth. This gesture is not an expression of confidence in expectation, but rather a sign of nervousness and unease. When many people are nervous, they dry their sweaty hands on something. Men usually use pants, while women often use handkerchiefs or toilet paper. Witnesses in court, speeches by newcomers, or athletes waiting to compete often make a gesture of wiping sweat off their palms.
2、 Knock the copper in your pocket
Dr. San Federman observed that people who often jingle copper coins in their pockets either attach great importance to money or lack it. Anyone who has been to the Las Vegas casino lobby must remember the tinkling of copper coins in their pockets as they play dice, slot machines, or other gambling devices.
"We have a friend who is a producer from a film company and is always used to making copper coins in his pants pocket sound. When you ask him why he did this, his answer is: 'Remind me of the time when I didn't have money.'"
Have you noticed how beggars walk past you? They always clank money in tin cans to indicate that they need it. Service personnel who live by tipping often seem to fiddle with coins as a means of passing information to guests.
3、 Cross fingers
The gesture of pressing the middle finger against the index finger can be traced back to our childhood. Young children often cross their fingers when they tell an insignificant lie to their parents, or when they hope for good luck.
In "The Habits of Speech and Posture," Dr. Thorn Federman claims that this is "a magical and evasive gesture, whether the evil is generated from the heart or external." When a friend travels by air and wants to transfer at an airport famous for being always late, he crosses his fingers and says to others, "Maybe this way, you can catch the connecting plane."
In business or social situations, this posture is much more common than we know, often acting very secretively, quickly crossing and then separating. In many stressful situations, this gesture was captured. When a party makes a request or request, they slightly cross their fingers to express the hope that their wishes will be recognized.
In some Latin American countries, the gesture of crossing your fingers indicates that two people are very close. In the United States, two fingers are together without crossing, and they say, "We're as close as this."
