Do not think that only wizards or telepaths can read thoughts in the head of another person. Sometimes sign language, facial expressions, poses can tell about what your interlocutor thinks. This language is even more informative, since it is practically uncontrollable. A person’s words can be deceiving, but his unconscious gesturing - no. If you learn to guess the thoughts of your interlocutor, it will be much easier for you to find a common language and maintain a conversation with any opponent.

In many books on psychology, authors tell what gestures and poses can talk about. To understand the mood and attitude towards you and your words, just carefully look at the behavior of your interlocutor. If the palms of his hands are open and calmly lie on the surface of the table or while standing, he holds them open towards you, then this is a good sign - they trust you.

The highest degree of confidence in a man sitting opposite you, can mean a jacket removed or unfastened, a comfortable pose. However, he can even sit back in the chair and cross his leg. The fact that the person sitting opposite has confidence in you will be shown by hands bent at the elbows and palms of the hands with fingers closed in a “dome” at the level of the mouth. Sometimes it can mean complacency and pride in oneself.

In the event that a person distrusts you or your words, if in them he sees a hidden threat and an emerging conflict, his palms will be clenched into fists. At the same time, he can also take a protective position, arms crossed on his chest.

The fact that he is trying to unravel your intentions or find out what kind of person you are will be shown by a pose when he listens to you with his head propped on his hand. A gesture indicates his critical mood when the chin rests on the thumb, the index is extended along the cheek, and the rest are bent at the level of the mouth and cover it. If his assessment is positive, he will sit closer to you, on the tip of the chair, resting his elbows on his knees and hanging his arms freely. The fact that he is interested and listens carefully to you, his head, inclined to the shoulder, will say.

If a person during a conversation often covers his mouth with his hand, then this can be either a manifestation of isolation, or a desire to hide or lie something. Often such a gesture follows an inadvertently spoken word that breaks out involuntarily. In the case when your words cause embarrassment in the interlocutor, he begins to scratch his hair, men - also his beard.
