Crossing Your Arms
This is a defensive body language sign. Always try to keep your arms by your sides.
Blinking Too Much
This shows that you are anxious. When you are nervous you may start blinking really fast. This becomes obvious when people make eye contact with you. Make sure you decrease the rate of blinking when you are nervous.
Tapping With Your Feet And Fingers
Not only is it annoying, but it also suggests you are stressed, impatient or bored.
Playing With Your Collar
This indicates you are feeling uncomfortable or nervous.
Bad Posture
Your posture is a clear indication of how confident and composed you are. It can have a big impact on how you’re treated when you first meet someone and how strangers respond to you. Make sure you stand with your feet at a comfortable distance apart with your head up and shoulders back, and greet people with direct contact and a firm handshake.
Faking A Smile
This is a sign of deception. A fake smile only involves the mouth and lips. A genuine smile will involve the entire face. Never smile when there is nothing to smile about. You don’t need other people’s approval.
Stroking Your Chin

Looking Down
When in the presence of others always look straight ahead and make eye contact when you first see someone. Looking away or downwards indicates disinterest, or even arrogance.
