Reading people tip: if someone is looking at all your body parts and has trouble following the conversation, it could mean that they have seen this video.
My body language is messed up. People don't like me cause I look mad, but I'm actually really happy or I'm completely fine or I'm tired or I'm sad. I'm really not a mean person lol
These signs are great for actors to learn. No matter how well you can deliver lines, if your body language isn't convincing, your performance won't be convincing. While delivery of lines marks the difference between a bad and okay actor, body language marks the difference between an okay and good actor. Just try to display the signs your character is supposed to be feeling in the scene and you will see a big improvement in how much more convincing your acting is.
Yeah, I was wondering about the end of the video when he said to pick something to observe, and I was like, if my eyes are constantly aimed down at their feet, they're going to have questions. XD
Happy feet: bounce or wiggling Means : excitement satisfaction or can mean impatience Lifted feet: part of the foot lifted Happiness excitement interest Feet pointing away: we point feet away from things/ people we don’t like might indicate they don’t like something which has been saidor it can mean they have an appointment or something like that Knee clasp: puts both hands on knees and leans forwards That person is ready to leave Standing width: someone with feet close together is less confident someone with feet shoulder with apart is confident ( more space taken up more confident as general rule) Legs apart while sitting: comfort Standing leg cross: extremely comfortable usually points in direction of the person they like most ( how to tell if someone has a crush on you lol) Legs crossed while sitting ( not on the floor SCHOOLS): makes one thigh form a barrier if the barrier is between you and them they are not comfortable with you or dislike something you said if barrier not towards you they feel comfortable and like what you said Foot freeze: someone has been moving their legs a lot and they suddenly freeze They are experiencing some sort of stress or powerful emotion Foot lock: someone suddenly crosses legs when they had them apart( not in a school environment where they will get told off for apart legs on floor) Stress or discomfort
A helpful trick I learned that has helped me quite a bit during business meetings is to look at peoples faces when other people are talking. When a person is talking, watch the other people in the group and pay attention to who is looking at them and who is not. It gives you a good insight into conflicts and power-plays amongst the people in the group. You will notice that people look at the speaker when they are aligned with them, but will look away or look down when the speaker is someone they don't care for or someone they feel dominant over. I've used it over the years to give me an indication of a group's dynamics and it's surprisingly accurate. And it gives you an idea of how people feel about you when you're the speaker.
Me: **tries to kiss girl** Her: Ew, wtf are you doing?! Me: I‒I thought you liked me. Her: Why on earth would you think that? Me: Your pupils were dilated...
Another thing to notice, is that people will often take the same body posture in a given room or small group. Watch who changes first and see who follows that posture. It can be crossed legs or arms. There can be people back to back and not able to see each other. Eventually, unless they are both alpha, one will take the others posture. So another rule is don't assume their posture is actually their own. Wait to see other peoples posture to see if they are mimicking someone or taking the pose themselves.
I don't mirror, I do the opposite. If other people in a room are standing in a similar pose, I have a tendency to "break" the chain and stand differently and act as a counter-balance.
Really the only ones I bother about worrying about is confidence and looking engaged in other people i care about even when i have to leave/was about to do something else
and i thought i was the only one who does this! in my opinion, i think when i play with my slipper it's out of interest. idk if it happens to anyone else.
Question: do u live in the uk and therefore said “generally” instead of “genuinely”? I’ve noticed people from like Britain and stuff pronounce “genuinely” as “generally”. Ya please tell me I’ve been wondering this for a while.
Well, it's not like you're gonna stare for a full minute, just a quick glance should be more than enough. Unless you have a pretty serious case of tunnel vision, you should be able to see the general area of the feet inside your FOV
Some chick in High School yelled at me to stop looking at her feet in class hahahahahahaha im not gonna lie she had pretty feet and she wore sandals that day. I wasnt embarassed i laughed after all im handsome and respected.
when you're observing someone's lower parts of the body, be careful to sneak glances and not stare, though. Staring may seem rude and show zoning out of your current action.
Thanks! I'm a pretty unconfident person, and want to look more confident (fake it to make it), and also this can help me a lot to show expression in my drawings more and if I ever venture to animation.

For the head leaning : it depends on which side the head goes. The left brain controls the right part of your body and the right brain controls the left side of your body. Left brain = analystic, reason, logic & right brain = love, passion, intuition. So, if your head is leaning on the left side when you are looking at someone, this means you feel comfortable or you like the person. On the other hand, if you lean your head on the right side, you aren't comfortable with the subject that is being discussed or you don't like the person. Although, you have to look at other signs as you already said ^^
I internalized all of this info after some acid trips... every time i trip i can read and sense every expression of a person and see the way he/she is being in that moment, also using what's happening around me makes it easier. The great thing was that i was able to bring this "gift" back from the trip to life. When i watched the video i was really surprised to see that about 90% of my unconscious readings were correct! Ps english is not my main language and im a little high from a joint so sorry for possible mistekes. x)
The feet parts can get confusing when you have adhd or some mental disease like it. Hyperactivity could make they’re feet bounce or shake either when they want to run out of the situation, or they’re mind is in a completely different situation. I would know because i have really bad adhd, and when my teacher basically put me on the spotlight and insulted me one time, my feet with moving so fast, my face was in a hand, and the other was crossed on the desk. and everything else but my feet were completely still, and my feet were bouncing endlessly. Conclusion: feet bouncing depends on the situation they are in for whether its positive or negative. It will usually just help blood flow to the brain somehow(idk, im not a physicist). aka when they are thinking alot and not acting on their thoughts
I feel like these body language tips don't always apply. Maybe with strangers or acquaintances, but less with close friends and/or family. Some body positions are more comfortable than others for different people, and relying on a body language to sense someone's feelings towards you can be very unreliable. As both an example and a statement: confusion and conveying confusion through bodily language was barely addressed besides the shoulder shrug, but other actions of mine like a head tilt or furrowed eyebrows (or often, both) will indicate more that I'm confused than a lack of trust or belief. It reflects more of a lack of knowledge with me. Another separate example would be the raised eyebrows. It doesn't always mean excitement or happiness for me, it can also sometimes mean a "Oh really?" (both sarcastically and literally). Last one: I saw someone mention that we mimic other people's behaviors, and I find that to be very true. My music friends and I, when we sit in a line and are watching a performance, we end up crossing our legs and usually end up crossing them the same way, and shifting which way they're crossed at some point based on comfort. But none of it is as a result of unhappiness or distrust of the friends sitting to the side the thigh is pointing to. I honestly didn't need to write this whole thing, but I felt that I should, it's important to take personal difference into account too, and that wasn't really stated as much in the video. Although I know most of the viewers will know, I still felt like it should be said. If anyone else reads this, what emotion and body language connections do y'all have that aren't addressed in the video?
My brother obviously has watched one of these videos because once when we were playing my favorite game I looked at him and he said “wow, you really don’t like me”, turns out my pupils had gone from extremely large when I was watching the screen to extremely small when I looked at him.
IcYGodZ lol after i started playing smash and got good at it, i improved in soccer because i was so much better at reading people. And i'm also pretty good at reading people in general now
Jackie in smash bros you learn to predict other peoples moves so you can counter. If ur good at it you can probably read people in real life. This mostly works against other players instead of cpu in game.
I have, for years, unintentionally come off as cold, closed, dominating, and very serious, even though i try to appear kind and funny. No wonder people don’t hang around me much
Amaizing. I recently started watching your channel and I gotta say those videos you're creating are actually true life lessons for those who understand to make us real independent people. I just got a sugg., keep continuing! :P
In Germany we call the knee clasp "So!", because thats what we say when we want to leave. We hit both laps or knees with our flat hand and just say one fast "So!" and go
Hell no! I built my business by working hard, no one just gave me anything just because! If you want my like you need to work harder and not be a disappointment!
Morgan in Japan yup 90% - 95% of the convo look at their face/eyes the rest look for other body language don’t be obvious and act natural (don’t stare at other body parts when not looking at the face just look around with your eyes and don’t move your head as much)
I saw this in my watch later and thought it said "how to read" and completely didn't question it. this probably says a lot about me that I don't want to think about
Something I do all the time to see if someone likes me: Fidget ur feet for a while (they’ll prolly do it too) Then, stop all of a sudden. If they stop as well unknowingly, ur on their mind
hey I really liked your video. as a psychology student being able to read body language can be a very useful skill however I feel that you should have added how different cultures affect expression of body language as this can severely affect a person's ability to read body language in a multicultural environment.
Dregorin i will give you an example american men and european men have different ways of sitting that is accecpted in their cultures. American men prefer to sit on a chair with their the ankle of one foot on the thigh of the other. But a european man would simply sit with his legs crossed. post ww2 american military officials realised that had the german ss realised this many of their spies would have been caught. Also to my knowledge most major studies of body language have been done only in the north america or western europe. so it is difficult to say whether that research based in the west would be equally applicable in asia and africa.
*Someone is speaking to me* Me: Me analyzing every move they make and thinking about it in my head, while completely ignoring what are they saying to me. Them: hellouu, so are you coming or what? Me: *don't know about wtf is he saying* ye ye, sure. *day later, regretting the day I was born since I am now in the literature club*
I think I have a built in body language sensor. If I know the basics about a person or I've just seen them interact with someone or something I'm able to tell how they feel or what they're thinking. The easiest emotions to figure out is fear, nervous and sad since people usually hunch down a little and kind of squish their body together so they're just in one tiny ball and so people are less likely to notice them.
I've seen this video a few times but I keep forgetting the bosy language signals I'm gonna spend a few days on each body part and watch this video multiple times. I believe this stuff is very important thanks for making the video 😊👋
Videos like these are what shape the norms, you start looking for the said signs in others and avoid making them yourself, then in time people become conditioned to the said signs(unconsciously) which makes them all the more accurate. So having seen these signs which you can't unsee because it went into your unconscious mind, your body will have a wider range of motion(comfort and discomfort/stress wise)so you'll surely be experiencing the said signs pretty soon.
i find it interesting that i paid more attention to this than my summer homework i'm supposed to get on. but i'll use these at school on first day, THANKS
The Foot Freeze: when someone is playing with their feet, realizes this, becomes extremely self conscious and immediately stops Or at least in my case, that is.
0:45 Yep. This is something that psychedelics can tune you into being receptive too. I know a guy who doses acid before playing poker. He does seem to win more than he loses. He always says “I can read minds.” Lol 😆
despite the fact I'm a middle school student, I often find myself using the arms behind back stance subconsciously. I had no idea it meant what it does...
This knowledge seems like more a curse than a blessing. I mean, you can be talking to someone about a game or something else you like and they do something, you notice it, and whether they like or dislike you off of that will always change the mood then youre overthinking things when you walk away
I scrunch my eye brows together and squint my eyes a lot bc I’m in deep thought 😭😭 if ppl try to read me they would think I’m going threw a lot bc I fidget a lot
Nice video, you basically did me a favor by summarizing the book "What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People " which I think is where you got this informations :)) Thanks mate.
I train calisthenics 2 years and I can tell you that rounded shoulders dont got almost anything to do with bodylanguage. 99% its from bad body posture wich you get by sitting at computer chair and by time leaning forward and letting your shoulders to collapse weakening the muscles that are holding them back - ( bet you just straightend up in your chair). Also you dont get it over night so you cant fix it over night. It took me 1 year to fix my right rounded shoulder. I almost looked like quasimodo when you would look ate me from my right.
"happy feet -- this is when". So happy feet is a time, not a behavior. Like if it were done at 3 p.m. and someone would ask you "what time is it" and you say "it is happy feet" then he would know that you meant 3 p.m..

@Lilly never see through to it, as will I
Happy feet: bounce or wiggling
Means : excitement satisfaction or can mean impatience
Lifted feet: part of the foot lifted
Happiness excitement interest
Feet pointing away: we point feet away from things/ people we don’t like might indicate they don’t like something which has been saidor it can mean they have an appointment or something like that
Knee clasp: puts both hands on knees and leans forwards
That person is ready to leave
Standing width: someone with feet close together is less confident someone with feet shoulder with apart is confident ( more space taken up more confident as general rule)
Legs apart while sitting: comfort
Standing leg cross: extremely comfortable usually points in direction of the person they like most ( how to tell if someone has a crush on you lol)
Legs crossed while sitting ( not on the floor SCHOOLS): makes one thigh form a barrier if the barrier is between you and them they are not comfortable with you or dislike something you said if barrier not towards you they feel comfortable and like what you said
Foot freeze: someone has been moving their legs a lot and they suddenly freeze
They are experiencing some sort of stress or powerful emotion
Foot lock: someone suddenly crosses legs when they had them apart( not in a school environment where they will get told off for apart legs on floor)
Stress or discomfort

Hahahahahaha
Yep, this is exactly what I use and it works with practice and experience. Don't be afraid to go and meet new people, learn the stories of the world around you
Nobody:
Me: Is this person using their happy feet or their lifted feet?
HAPPY FEET!
Doesnt matter, means the same
me: wants to learn and practice everything in this video
also me: is quarantined and only can do this with family members wich is very weird
Mom: Why are you looking at my feets?
Me: Yeah.... so lifted feets.
Me: YEET NOW I CAN BE A COOL SMART PERSON :3
After video: stares at people’s legs when they are talking
So true
Great video. This guy covers EVERYTHING, even a trick to memorize the info better. Definitely going to rewatch this multiple times and watch the rest of the channel. Thank you improvement pill
love this! way better than most body language content I've seen
For the head leaning : it depends on which side the head goes. The left brain controls the right part of your body and the right brain controls the left side of your body. Left brain = analystic, reason, logic & right brain = love, passion, intuition.
So, if your head is leaning on the left side when you are looking at someone, this means you feel comfortable or you like the person. On the other hand, if you lean your head on the right side, you aren't comfortable with the subject that is being discussed or you don't like the person.
Although, you have to look at other signs as you already said ^^
I internalized all of this info after some acid trips... every time i trip i can read and sense every expression of a person and see the way he/she is being in that moment, also using what's happening around me makes it easier. The great thing was that i was able to bring this "gift" back from the trip to life. When i watched the video i was really surprised to see that about 90% of my unconscious readings were correct!
Ps english is not my main language and im a little high from a joint so sorry for possible mistekes. x)
random dude: * just takes a more comfortable position *
me: * should i shoot first or run *
Watching a lot of these videos so I can safely get through high-school.
😅 I'm watching this at the last year of highschool because those seniors can be saltier than ever.
I dont even know who you are
Same
Lol, future freshman here
So how did highschool go
The feet parts can get confusing when you have adhd or some mental disease like it.
Hyperactivity could make they’re feet bounce or shake either when they want to run out of the situation, or they’re mind is in a completely different situation.
I would know because i have really bad adhd, and when my teacher basically put me on the spotlight and insulted me one time, my feet with moving so fast, my face was in a hand, and the other was crossed on the desk. and everything else but my feet were completely still, and my feet were bouncing endlessly.
Conclusion: feet bouncing depends on the situation they are in for whether its positive or negative. It will usually just help blood flow to the brain somehow(idk, im not a physicist). aka when they are thinking alot and not acting on their thoughts
Trying to read body language is never as straight forward as it seems.. I dont think there's anything more deceiving
Jeanna Lee haha right. theres signs but its never 100%
I feel like these body language tips don't always apply. Maybe with strangers or acquaintances, but less with close friends and/or family. Some body positions are more comfortable than others for different people, and relying on a body language to sense someone's feelings towards you can be very unreliable.
As both an example and a statement: confusion and conveying confusion through bodily language was barely addressed besides the shoulder shrug, but other actions of mine like a head tilt or furrowed eyebrows (or often, both) will indicate more that I'm confused than a lack of trust or belief. It reflects more of a lack of knowledge with me.
Another separate example would be the raised eyebrows. It doesn't always mean excitement or happiness for me, it can also sometimes mean a "Oh really?" (both sarcastically and literally).
Last one: I saw someone mention that we mimic other people's behaviors, and I find that to be very true. My music friends and I, when we sit in a line and are watching a performance, we end up crossing our legs and usually end up crossing them the same way, and shifting which way they're crossed at some point based on comfort. But none of it is as a result of unhappiness or distrust of the friends sitting to the side the thigh is pointing to.
I honestly didn't need to write this whole thing, but I felt that I should, it's important to take personal difference into account too, and that wasn't really stated as much in the video. Although I know most of the viewers will know, I still felt like it should be said. If anyone else reads this, what emotion and body language connections do y'all have that aren't addressed in the video?
My brother obviously has watched one of these videos because once when we were playing my favorite game I looked at him and he said “wow, you really don’t like me”, turns out my pupils had gone from extremely large when I was watching the screen to extremely small when I looked at him.
Man I love your videos they've helped me out so much in school
If you play smash bros
YOU GOT A GOOD READ
IcYGodZ lmfao yeah bro
IcYGodZ lol after i started playing smash and got good at it, i improved in soccer because i was so much better at reading people. And i'm also pretty good at reading people in general now
Wait I feel dumb but I played that game..why would I be good at reading people?
Jackie in smash bros you learn to predict other peoples moves so you can counter. If ur good at it you can probably read people in real life. This mostly works against other players instead of cpu in game.
not even joking smash bros actually helps you read lol
Another thing is that when someone makes a joke or they’re laughing they look at the person they like most often.
Really very nice explanation, it is very helpful. Thank you so much....
I have, for years, unintentionally come off as cold, closed, dominating, and very serious, even though i try to appear kind and funny. No wonder people don’t hang around me much
Amaizing. I recently started watching your channel and I gotta say those videos you're creating are actually true life lessons for those who understand to make us real independent people. I just got a sugg., keep continuing! :P
This is by far the best video about Body language in youtube, i've learned a lot in this video thanks mate, and Keep giving us this kind of content !
"SHOE PLAY"
me: "Oh, I know it. I do it all the time when I'm bored in a school."
video: "Flirtation sign."
me: "Ok."
Very dense, informative and interesting😮. Thanks😁.
In Germany we call the knee clasp "So!", because thats what we say when we want to leave. We hit both laps or knees with our flat hand and just say one fast "So!" and go
am i watching this video and making actual detailed notes at 6 am, yess. why? yea i’m asking that myself too
Im early, I dont know what to say tho.
Just give me likes
Cledon .a.
@@SevensMarkedSeven oh yeah yeah
Hell no! I built my business by working hard, no one just gave me anything just because! If you want my like you need to work harder and not be a disappointment!
Aight
This comment is efficient in that it states its goals and doesn’t hide anything
I want to try this but I don't want to give the impression that I have a foot fetish
Be subtle. Glance, don't stare.
Morgan in Japan yup 90% - 95% of the convo look at their face/eyes the rest look for other body language don’t be obvious and act natural (don’t stare at other body parts when not looking at the face just look around with your eyes and don’t move your head as much)
Hahahahahaha
This is a helpful trick that i should try to practice to have a suitable coversation with identifing people.
I saw this in my watch later and thought it said "how to read" and completely didn't question it. this probably says a lot about me that I don't want to think about
I'm going to go around giving people fake body language just to confuse them
Something I do all the time to see if someone likes me:
Fidget ur feet for a while (they’ll prolly do it too)
Then, stop all of a sudden. If they stop as well unknowingly, ur on their mind
lol thanks I’ll see if my crush thinks so
hey I really liked your video. as a psychology student being able to read body language can be a very useful skill however I feel that you should have added how different cultures affect expression of body language as this can severely affect a person's ability to read body language in a multicultural environment.
I don't really think there's a difference at all. It doesn't make any sense. Anything why you come to that conclusion?
Dregorin i will give you an example american men and european men have different ways of sitting that is accecpted in their cultures. American men prefer to sit on a chair with their the ankle of one foot on the thigh of the other. But a european man would simply sit with his legs crossed. post ww2 american military officials realised that had the german ss realised this many of their spies would have been caught. Also to my knowledge most major studies of body language have been done only in the north america or western europe. so it is difficult to say whether that research based in the west would be equally applicable in asia and africa.
Duuude this explains why most guys prefer talking when next to each other compared to facing each other. 😂😂😂Thanks for this video bro
This video just exposes my social anxiety
*Someone is speaking to me*
Me: Me analyzing every move they make and thinking about it in my head, while completely ignoring what are they saying to me.
Them: hellouu, so are you coming or what?
Me: *don't know about wtf is he saying* ye ye, sure.
*day later, regretting the day I was born since I am now in the literature club*
I think I have a built in body language sensor. If I know the basics about a person or I've just seen them interact with someone or something I'm able to tell how they feel or what they're thinking. The easiest emotions to figure out is fear, nervous and sad since people usually hunch down a little and kind of squish their body together so they're just in one tiny ball and so people are less likely to notice them.
I bet he deleted his search history after looking for all of these feet pics in this video
LMAO
Underrated! Hahaha
I've seen this video a few times but I keep forgetting the bosy language signals I'm gonna spend a few days on each body part and watch this video multiple times. I believe this stuff is very important thanks for making the video 😊👋
Videos like these are what shape the norms, you start looking for the said signs in others and avoid making them yourself, then in time people become conditioned to the said signs(unconsciously) which makes them all the more accurate. So having seen these signs which you can't unsee because it went into your unconscious mind, your body will have a wider range of motion(comfort and discomfort/stress wise)so you'll surely be experiencing the said signs pretty soon.
How to read anyone

Shut up.
Great work as usual man! Really pumping out some good material into this world:) Always waiting for the next one
I wish you so much luck on your journey, and I hope you find happiness in your passion! Really appreciate that you answered me, you are a true hero:)
Sometimes people will breathe.
This can be a sign of discomfort and/or stress.
i find it interesting that i paid more attention to this than my summer homework i'm supposed to get on. but i'll use these at school on first day, THANKS
The Foot Freeze: when someone is playing with their feet, realizes this, becomes extremely self conscious and immediately stops
Or at least in my case, that is.
0:45 Yep. This is something that psychedelics can tune you into being receptive too.
I know a guy who doses acid before playing poker. He does seem to win more than he loses. He always says “I can read minds.” Lol 😆
"Spend a day looking at people's feet
Hahahahaha
despite the fact I'm a middle school student, I often find myself using the arms behind back stance subconsciously. I had no idea it meant what it does...
This knowledge seems like more a curse than a blessing. I mean, you can be talking to someone about a game or something else you like and they do something, you notice it, and whether they like or dislike you off of that will always change the mood then youre overthinking things when you walk away
I scrunch my eye brows together and squint my eyes a lot bc I’m in deep thought 😭😭 if ppl try to read me they would think I’m going threw a lot bc I fidget a lot
When you almost always are in a posture that lacks confidence.
Nice video, you basically did me a favor by summarizing the book "What Every BODY is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People " which I think is where you got this informations :)) Thanks mate.
With the torso thing, I just realized that I’m always sitting sideways in my desk at school facing my crush (a close friend)
expressing gratitude
overthinking -> meditation

I train calisthenics 2 years and I can tell you that rounded shoulders dont got almost anything to do with bodylanguage. 99% its from bad body posture wich you get by sitting at computer chair and by time leaning forward and letting your shoulders to collapse weakening the muscles that are holding them back - ( bet you just straightend up in your chair). Also you dont get it over night so you cant fix it over night. It took me 1 year to fix my right rounded shoulder. I almost looked like quasimodo when you would look ate me from my right.

"happy feet -- this is when". So happy feet is a time, not a behavior. Like if it were done at 3 p.m. and someone would ask you "what time is it" and you say "it is happy feet" then he would know that you meant 3 p.m..
Sherlock Holmes of the books could look at you and tell you your profession, hobbies, thoughts, amd where you have been. It all starts with observation. As a detective, I use it all the time to understand my world around me. Knowledge is power.
