Body Language Question


Recommended Posts

Hands clasped behind my back. What does that signal to people who see me?

 

One little quirk that I have is I clasp my hands behind my back. Think a soldier after being given the order "At ease" or when a volleyball player is giving signals to their teammate.

 

It's just something that I do. I can be standing straight or I can be walking, but I do that a lot. As the person doing it, the only thing I can say is that it's a reflection of my introspective, thoughtful personality.

 

But I'm curious as to what that would mean to other people? Does that make me less approachable? Does that make me look assertive?

 

Over to you.

i don't know - either you're not relaxed or you've been handcuffed. Then again, i don't just go by body language alone. We have a whole range of ways to communicate - don't limit yourself by concentrating on one area 'cause you're gonna miss the bigger picture.
