We are constantly looking at how someone is moving — are they gesturing? Leaning? Moving towards or away from us? Body movements tell us a lot about preferences and nervousness. They are instrumental body language cues. Clothes, jewelry, sunglasses, hairstyles, are all extensions of our body language. Not only do certain colors and styles send signals to others, how we interact with our ornaments is also telling. Is someone a fidgeter with their watch or ring? Do they constantly self-preen or touch their hair? These are all body language cues. There are actually two sides to reading body language in others. Decoding is your ability to read people’s cues. It is how you interpret hidden emotions, information and personality from someone’s nonverbal. Encoding is your ability to send cues to other people.
