Body language mistakes that ruining your life

in #body7 years ago

Whether you are sitting in the office, on a date, a job interview, at a conference or a party, or just interacting with someone you’ve met for the first time in your life, the rules of communication state that 60% of your success depends on your body language.

Here are some of the most common body language issues that can ruin your image without you even realizing it.

  1. Poor posture

Standing with your shoulders drooped makes you look insignificant and weak. If you slouch in your seat or lean too far back, it signals to others that you are too comfortable and disinterested in what you are doing. If you are still not convinced, there is scientific proof that slouching can lower your mood and self-esteem.

  1. Weak handshake

A firm handshake is important. Someone with a weak handshake can be viewed as lacking authority and confidence. Although, if your handshake is too strong, you may be perceived as aggressive. One of the worst handshake is called a "wet fish handshake" — a weak handshake with cold and sweaty hands that gives the impression of a person who is weak in character and cold in nature.

  1. Inappropriate eye contact

Avoiding eye contact makes you look unprepared or unprofessional in a business meeting and insecure or insincere during a date or at a party. On the other hand, too much eye contact could seem rude, intimidating, and hostile.

  1. Incorrect position of fingers and hands

Rubbing of palms or placing the fingers of one hand over the fingers of the other hand to form a "steeple" should be used with caution. They may give the impression that you are trying to deceive another person or impose your thoughts rather than convince.

  1. Not copying others

Copying allows you to build rapport with others. It also develops trust and allows you to engage in deeper conversations. Research shows that although men find copying harder than women, women are more influenced by copying and find men who repeat their gestures or posture more attractive.
