You constantly communicate to people using
your body and in this video we look at 5 things
you should avoid to give off a negative image...
1.
Looking at the Ground
- You should avoid looking at the ground when
you speak to people...
- ... as doing so makes you appear shy and
lacking self esteem and confidence, which
can give a negative self image
- Even moreso, it could make you appear to
be disinterested, which could be perceived
as being rude behaviour by the other person
- So look at people, show affirmative actions
such as nodding and engage in conversation
2.
Ingenuine Smile
- People are extremely perceptive and will
know when you are faking a smile so it's best
to avoid it altogether
- A genuine smile comes from more than just
your mouth and can be seen in your entire
face, particularly in your eyes
- There if you smile, make it genuine and
think of happy thoughts when doing so...
- ...because while a genuine smile is an attractive
feature, a fake smile comes across as ingenuine
3.
Checking the Time
- Avoid overtly checking the time when you
speak to someone, unless you have a clear
reason to do so, such as you're both headed
somewhere for a set time
- Looking at your watch signals that you do
not want to be there and that you have more
important things to be doing, which can come
across as being rude
- If you are on a schedule or need to be somewhere,
it's best to be honest...
- ...and politely let the other person know
that you have an engagement and excuse yourself
4.
Touching Your Face
- It's normal to feel a little itch you need
to scratch now and again, but this should
be infrequent
- This is because repeatedly touching your
face while speaking with someone is an indication
that you are lying
- Which can make it appear that you're feeling
discomfort during the course of the conversation...
- ...or that you are ingenuine in what you
say, making people more distrusting of you
as an individual
5.
Appearing Nervous
- People can be put off when you appear nervous
or agitative during a conversation and may
exhibit similar behaviour themselves as a
result
- This can be you constantly tapping your
foot throughout a conversation...
- ...or sitting on the edge of your seat and
constantly shifting and fidgeting with your
hands
- Instead, it's important to try and stay
calm and relaxed, as again, the other person
is likely to reciprocate similar behaviour
and emotions
