Person help: i want to learn how to read body language.

zimbobwa

i want to learn how to read body language.

i took a psycology class and was really hopeing that we would go over this but we dont. all we did was emotions and basic facial expresstions (sad, happy, mad, etc.). i was wondering if anyone could teach me how to read a persons body language or if they have a good website that can explain this to me really well.

human interaction isn’t really that complicated, you have an instinct for a reason, it’s usually right, go with that and find out why you feel that.
the best thing you can do is watch people, people who are close and those who are not will behave differently, just watch, you’ll soon pick it up.
though yeah, books can help too.

mibriggs, isn’t that what acting is?
And for the most part that is real.

i agree with james, you can learn alot from watching people.
i took a Comm. Arts class and we did a whole chapter on
Nonverbal communications, maybe you should try a class?

Acceptionally useful skill that is. Well I know a little…

Every person has their own normal (default) behavior; When you are talking to them and they are telling the truth, Some people look you in the eye and cross the arms or their in their pockets, now if you remeber that and you see that the behavior is dramaticly diffrent (their not looking at you in the eye, slight pauses, doing somthing with their hands) They are nervous, ussaly hiding somthing (lie) …. thats about all I know.

Do an acting class, but not one that just concentrates on reading lines, one that uses tools to help you think about how you would portray a character, because that is all in the body language.

You could take an interpersonal communications class. That class is all about communication with the body. I took that class last year and it was very insightful and fun. Good Luck! :)

ummm, im looking myself. The guy who mentioned the default behavior was correct. And you know when some one leans back on a chair with their fingers laced to the back of their heads while leaning back. It means pretty much the person is extremely confident, and in ways cocky
