That They Are Frustrated/ Dismayed
A basketball coach whose team loses by a point may say “Aaarrrrrrr!” or he may just keep quiet while making certain body movements that indicate how disappointed he is. Here are some hints that indicate frustration.
• They are scratching/rubbing the hair or the back of the neck.
• You often hear the word “Tsk.”
• They kick the dust or air.
Indications That They Are Action-Oriented
People who are goal-oriented and highly motivated may not only be recognized by how they speak. Their actions actually speak louder.
• They walk at a fast rate while swinging their arms loosely.
• They put their hands on their hips, usually with legs apart.
• They walk with hands on their hips. This may indicate a spurt of vitality at the moment, but may be followed by sluggishness.
Indications That They Are Defensive/Hiding Something
The mouth might keep a secret, but certain gestures could indicate that people are hiding something they don’t want others to find out, such as:
• They walk with their hands in their pockets.
• They cross their arms.
• They hide their hands any way they can.
