it is nice topic. it is really helpful for those who want improvement in behavior.

What about hands wiping on the sides of the hips repeatedly?! What does it mean?

Certainly helpful and to a great extent very true.

I study body language as part of a psychological project.

This is really interesting and true. At least from my own experience.

I believe the writer is a serious student of languages, all the ideas are true, there is also this body language where if a child is guilty and the mother is asking within the group, who did it? that child will keep on closing the eyes at others so that they may not reveal him or her

it is very helpful .

Very useful information. Thank you.

Its really helpful and true.

I hate when people are convinced that they are true about something, because they "learned it" and this is a perfect example. Matter of altering someones perception.. Although some of it might be true on some occasions - we are not robots.. Yes, we have a natural tendency to coppy other people behaviours.. Media, entertainment and social conditioning works on our subconscious and sadly we are greatly affected, shaped by it, but really - There is no definite way to understand the inner workings of someone simply by their body language.. Think for yourself.. Sink deeper in this subject. Examine yourself. Remember that each individual is different and the way they think and react are different.. As well, it is changeful.. Don't assume that you know what other person is thinking, for most of the time it is an illusion created by your own mind..
