But among them there are those that existed and exist at all stages of the life of mankind, from the most ancient at the time of its inception to the present time. This form of communication includes the language of facial expressions and gestures.
It turns out that the psychology of facial expressions and gestures is so wide and varied that it can tell us much more about a person than it seems at first glance. Body language and facial expressions, open or closed posture or, for example, beautiful smile sometimes much more information is transmitted than directly by speech. In addition, there are the smallest details of the facial language and the psychology of gestures that simply cannot be compared with verbal communication. All this suggests that when studying human psychology, it makes sense to turn Special attention on this way of communication and transmission of emotions, which largely reflects the psychological portrait of the individual.
Sign language

In psychology, this type of communication includes facial expressions, hand movements, body position, gait, etc. An analysis of all these components of the sign language and their meanings will give us a description of the character of a person, his mood, his main features. At the same time, some elements reflect momentary characteristics, such as gestures and facial expressions of lies, and some correspond to a certain type of temperament or more. general properties personality (for example, a casual gait with swaying shoulders speaks of a narcissistic and selfish nature).
A special role in the psychology of gestures is played by facial expressions and eyes, as well as head movement.

An emphatically raised head indicates arrogance and narcissism.
A thrown head is a challenge to others, a readiness for action.
Head tilted to one side - willingness to compromise, refusal of leadership, consent to the role of a subordinate.

facial expressions and eyes

Covered eyes are either severe fatigue, or a sign of inertia, indifference, passivity.
A squinted look means either close attention, or cunning, insidious plans, malicious intent.

If you catch an evasive look in the facial expressions of the interlocutor, then most likely it is self-doubt, timidity or guilt.
Downturned corners of the mouth in the language of facial expressions mean a negative attitude towards life, pessimism.
The raised corners of the mouth are a symbol of a positive, lively and cheerful character.
Sign language: hands
In the psychology of gestures, hands are given very great importance. And this is due to the fact that by gesticulating with hands, a person conveys many of those feelings and emotions that he cannot convey in words.
The palm open up is a symbol of explanation, persuasion.
Hands hanging along the body - passivity, lack of will.
Hands behind the back - unwillingness to act, timidity, shyness, doubts.
Hands hidden in pockets - an attempt to hide, self-doubt.
A hand clenched into a fist - concentration of attention, self-affirmation.
Rubbing hands in psychology means a surge of positive emotions and satisfaction.
The movement of the hands, closing the eyes or face, is the desire to hide something, to get away from the conversation.
Sign Language: Shoulders
Highly raised shoulders and a stooped back in body language mean indecision, helplessness, nervousness. There are other examples related to the group of gestures of uncertainty, which a person involuntarily demonstrates if he doubts in making a decision, making a choice, if something worries or worries him.
Shoulders falling forward are a sign of weakness and depression, a symbol of an inferiority complex.
Free movement of the shoulders - self-confidence, inner freedom.
Taking the shoulders back - in the psychology of gestures and facial expressions, this is the desire to act.
A protruding chest means high self-esteem, vitality.
A sunken chest is a sign of isolation and depression.
Gait
According to psychologists, the nature of a person and his personal qualities are reflected in the posture of a person, his gait and his favorite poses. Let's look at these points in more detail.
A quick gait with swinging arms corresponds to such qualities as purposefulness, confidence, activity.
A gait with hands in pockets and "drag of feet" testifies to a hidden character and an oppressed state of mind.
Wide steps when walking mean clarity of purpose, enterprise, energy.
Short steps are a sign of restraint, caution, prudence.
A rhythmic gait with a pronounced movement of the hips gives out a self-confident and narcissistic personality.
In a person who shuffles his feet, psychology notes lethargy, laziness and slowness.
An angular "wooden" gait is a sign of a self-sufficient and positive person.
Human psychology: gestures and facial expressions
In psychology, there is still a huge number of elements of sign language and their features, which can tell a lot about a person. We will not consider the entire set of this list here.
We note only in conclusion that the psychology of gestures is very diverse and allows us to reveal very subtle and subtle characteristics of human nature. And, perhaps, that is why the language of facial expressions and gestures, despite the fact that usually no one specially studies it, is so familiar and close to us from early childhood. published

56 -77 points. You have excellent intuition, you have the ability to understand other people, you have observation and flair.
