1、 Rub the palm of your hand
When a child sees his mother pushing a car of things from the supermarket, he is likely to rub his palm and make a expectant gesture. Or, a 60-year-old company president was presiding over an important meeting when the secretary sent a note. After reading it, he stood up and rubbed his hands and said, "Everybody, we have won ×× The company has a huge amount of contracts. "
In the video of the negotiation, someone quickly rubbed his hands as if expecting something. At the beginning of the negotiation, one party was very surprised to see this gesture, and would immediately pause and ask the other party if there was any other arrangement 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 carrying out an activity. Unless his hands are cold, it means he is interested in the activity. Maybe this is why gamblers always rub their hands before rolling dice.
The other gesture is to slowly rub the wet hand with a piece of cloth. This gesture is not to express confidence in expectation, but seems to be tense and uneasy. When many people are nervous, they will dry their sweaty hands on something. Men usually use pants, while women often use handkerchiefs or toilet paper. When testifying in court, new people make speeches or athletes are waiting to compete, they often make a gesture of wiping sweat off their palms.
2、 Knock the copper in the pocket
Dr. Thorn 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 Las Vegas casino hall must remember that the copper coins in his pocket are always jingling when playing dice, slot machines or other gambling tools.
We have a friend who is a producer of a film company. He is always used to making the copper plate in his pocket ring. When you ask him why he did this, his answer is: "Remind me of the time when there was no money."
Have you noticed how the beggar walks past you? He always jingles the money in the tin can to show that they need money. The service staff who live on tips often seem to ring coins as a means of passing information to customers.
3、 Cross fingers
The gesture of pressing the middle finger on 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 claimed that this was "a magical and evasive gesture, whether the evil was from the heart or from outside." When a friend was traveling by air and wanted to transfer at an airport famous for being always late, he crossed his fingers and said to others, "Maybe in this way, we can catch the transfer plane."
In business or social occasions, this gesture is much more common than we know. It is often made very secret, and it will soon be separated after crossing. In many tense situations, this posture was photographed. When a party makes a request or request, it will slightly cross its fingers to express the hope that his wishes will be recognized.
In some Latin American countries, the gesture of crossing fingers indicates that they are very close. In the United States, two fingers are together without crossing, and they also said, "We are as close as this."
