Lingering eye contact, facing the person they’re attracted to, dilated pupils, flushed face, and other body language and facial cues can indicate physical attraction.
Certain body language cues can convey discomfort, lack of confidence, or disinterest.
Signs like looking at the ground, difficulty maintaining eye contact, sweating, or blushing are common cues of shyness.
Irritated people may display body language cues like tapping their foot, tense lips, furrowed eyebrows, clenched jaw, maintaining too much eye contact or glaring, hands on hips, flared nostrils, or rolling eyes.
If someone’s avoiding you, they might avert eye contact, cross their arms, look downward, turn their body away from you, rarely smile or their smile appears inauthentic, or leave the room when you enter.
Disgust is an aversive response to something deemed offensive, such as certain senses, ideas, or actions.
Signs of disgust can include things like puckering lips with lower lip sticking out and corners of upper lips turned downward, flaring nostrils, lowering and furrowing brows, or turning away.
The following cues may be intimidating: Standing or leaning over someone, splaying legs, puffing out chest, staring or otherwise maintaining too much direct eye contact, or standing with feet further than hips distance apart.
Condescending body language may include looking down their nose at someone, tilting their chin up, tapping their foot, looking at their watch, speaking excessively slowly or loudly, sneering, eye rolling, or patting someone on the head.
