Can one learn to guess human thoughts? At first glance it seems that this is impossible: after all, miracles happen only in fairy tales! Indeed, you are not able to read other people's thoughts, but "body language" may come to the rescue. Pose, gesture, turn of the head, crossing of fingers, movement of the body or eyebrows, etc. - all this can tell a lot to a knowledgeable person! On what grounds can one guess the thoughts of others with a very high degree of certainty?
Instruction manual
one
Your interlocutor looks at you with his arms crossed over his chest, while his lips can be tightly pressed, his brows slightly frowned, or, conversely, slightly raised. This means that he is not in a mood of hostility towards you, but he clearly feels some wariness and some doubts. The fingers of his hands, involuntarily clenching into fists, can testify to this.
2
The open palm of the hand from ancient times among many nations meant open, friendly intentions. If your interlocutor has just such palms - you can be calm, he obviously does not feel any hostility, and he treats you with sympathy.
3
Again, from ancient times, people at the level of the "subcortex" remembered the rule: "Do not relax!", Which should act at the slightest danger or even with its vague threat. Thus, if the interlocutor took a clearly relaxed posture that impeded the immediate reflection of danger, for example, put his foot on his foot or threw back his head, this means that he trusts you and does not expect any trick on your part, at least for now.
4
If he listens to you, leaning a little forward, especially - resting his elbow on a bent arm on the table top, and his chin on the palm or clenched fist of that hand, then you can be sure: you are mentally “probed”. The interlocutor is trying to guess what is on your mind, whether you are a serious person, whether it is possible to deal with you.
5
Well, in the case when he tugs at or smoothes his mustache, touches the earlobe, licks his lips, often takes off his glasses and wipes the glass with a handkerchief, this is an unmistakable indicator of his embarrassment. Either something in your behavior confused him, or (more likely) he annoyed himself for some kind of oversight.
6
Be attentive to your interlocutor, because even a "radiant" smile does not indicate sympathy for you, look closely at your eyes, if they are slightly squinted, then obviously someone is plotting or suspecting you of something.
