How to Understand Body Language Better
- uHow to understand body language better?
- And how to read body language with high accuracy.
For some reason, body language is one of the most misunderstood sciences on the internet. 90% of the websites that talk about body language were created by people who know nothing about body language and just try to interpret the gestures they see every day according to their own belief system.
To understand body language better, you first need to learn how to filter out nonsense from real information based on real knowledge. Being one of the few body language experts in the world, I know that all you are going to read out of this site will be solid facts; however, I will go further and provide you with proof.
Whenever you read about body language, go and test it on all the close people you know. If someone claimed that putting your hands in the pocket has a certain meaning, then ask every close person who puts his hands in his pockets about his current state of feeling. You will find yourself able to understand body language better as you will quickly filter out the nonsense present everywhere on the internet about body language.

The second thing you need to understand body language better is to read the articles in the body language section on our website. Each article will inform you about a famous gesture and its interpretation or possible interpretations if it can bear more than one meaning.
The third thing you can do to understand body language better and interpret it with high accuracy is to test what you read on yourself.
Let’s suppose that I claimed that clasping your hands behind your back meant that you feel confident at the moment. At this point, you shouldn’t believe me right away before you test what you read on yourself many times.
Some people go astray by trying to prove what they read true even if it makes no sense. I once met a person who claimed that he is folding his arms because this gesture enables him to concentrate more. In fact, the subconscious mind of that person wanted him to believe in this to protect his ego rather than letting him face the truth (that he was not comfortable in the presence of some strangers).
What else can help you understand body language better
One of the things that will certainly help you understand body language better is learning how to monitor your thoughts and self-talk.
Our thoughts pass along very quickly, and one of them might trigger a body language gesture. If you didn’t learn how to recognize which thought triggered your body language gesture, you might not understand body language well.
Once you manage to assign the right thought to the right gesture and become 100 percent aware of your body language, reading the body language of others will become a straightforward task.
One final note about understanding body language: when you start asking close people about their current state of feeling, they might not be aware of their thoughts as well, and so they might give you incorrect replies. That’s why I said that you wouldn’t understand body language perfectly before you manage to understand your own body language.
