Our facial expression is usually the first indicator of our state of mind. When we’re happy, we smile. And when we’re sad or angry, we frown. There are times, however, when we don’t want people to know what we’re really thinking or feeling, or when we’re trying to hide something. In these situations, we choose our words carefully, and we consciously make our facial expression mirror what we’re saying.

However, up to 90 per cent of communication is non-verbal. So we might say one thing, but our body language often tells a different story. Body language refers to the pattern of gestures that express our inner thoughts and feelings in communication.

Unless we are very clever, our bodies will usually try to tell the truth, no matter what our words and facial expressions are communicating. Here are three of the most common ways that our bodies can give us away:

1)  Touching our faces more often than usual. If we are lying, we often cover our mouth with our hand or put a finger on our lip. Part of us knows that what we are saying is not true, and tries to stop it coming out. Touching our ear or hair and, most commonly, our nose are signs that we might be feeling anxious, or that we are angry or frightened but don’t feel able to express it.

2)  Gesturing with our hands. Experiments have shown that we use our hands to talk with much less than usual when what we are saying is not true. We don’t know exactly what our hands are saying, but we know they are probably communicating something important so we try not to use them. A person who says he or she is very pleased with something, and they have their arms folded while they are speaking, may actually be feeling quite the opposite.

3)  Moving our legs and feet. These are the most revealing parts of our body as they are the furthest from our face and we don’t usually pay attention to what they are doing. An interviewer might be listening patiently, smiling, and nodding, but if he’s tapping his foot, this could tell us that he is not enjoying the interview at all.

Most of us don’t know exactly what someone else’s body language means. But if we feel uneasy in someone’s company, it may be because their words and their body are saying different things from each other. This difference can have a significant effect on how we get on with that person.

3)  Moving our legs and feet. These are the most revealing parts of our body as they are the furthest from our face and we don’t usually pay attention to what they are doing. An interviewer might be listening patiently, smiling, and nodding, but if he’s tapping his foot, this could tell us that he is not enjoying the interview at all.

Most of us don’t know exactly what someone else’s body language means. But if we feel uneasy in someone’s company, it may be because their words and their body are saying different things from each other. This difference can have a significant effect on how we get on with that person.

Our facial expression is usually the first indicator of our state of mind. When we’re happy, we smile. And when we’re sad or angry, we frown. There are times, however, when we don’t want people to know what we’re really thinking or feeling, or when we’re trying to hide something. In these situations, we choose our words carefully, and we consciously make our facial expression mirror what we’re saying.

However, up to 90 per cent of communication is non-verbal. So we might say one thing, but our body language often tells a different story. Body language refers to the pattern of gestures that express our inner thoughts and feelings in communication.

Unless we are very clever, our bodies will usually try to tell the truth, no matter what our words and facial expressions are communicating. Here are three of the most common ways that our bodies can give us away:

1)  Touching our faces more often than usual. If we are lying, we often cover our mouth with our hand or put a finger on our lip. Part of us knows that what we are saying is not true, and tries to stop it coming out. Touching our ear or hair and, most commonly, our nose are signs that we might be feeling anxious, or that we are angry or frightened but don’t feel able to express it.

2)  Gesturing with our hands. Experiments have shown that we use our hands to talk with much less than usual when what we are saying is not true. We don’t know exactly what our hands are saying, but we know they are probably communicating something important so we try not to use them. A person who says he or she is very pleased with something, and they have their arms folded while they are speaking, may actually be feeling quite the opposite.

3)  Moving our legs and feet. These are the most revealing parts of our body as they are the furthest from our face and we don’t usually pay attention to what they are doing. An interviewer might be listening patiently, smiling, and nodding, but if he’s tapping his foot, this could tell us that he is not enjoying the interview at all.
