We live around the beauty of nature’s creation and mostly around humans that may come up as a friend, family, neighbor, or stranger. We talk to them, share moments together, and often judge on their behavior basis. Do you know that up to 60 to 90 percent of communication is nonverbal.

Reveal More Through Body Language Than Words

More than speaking, we show micro expressions, posture shifts, tone changes, and eye movements based on the dynamics of the situations. When you defend a truth through lies, we bring changes in the tone, movement, and body behavior.

It is true that we often pull towards people, places, and ideas that feel familiar even when they aren’t the best of them. Therefore the reasons are supportive to say that why people stay in old habits, repeat patterns, and even choose similar partners repeatedly.

 

Treat You How You Make Them Feel

They give responses with the same energy you deliver to them. If that’s rage, you get a rage reply and if in a gentle manner, you get gentle behavior as well. That feeling determines trust, attraction, and respect.

 

Most People Judge Within The First 7 Seconds

Let me ask you this question, how many times you judge others before they speak anything. Before you even speak, people subconsciously evaluate your confidence, warmth, and trustworthiness.

 

People Mirror You Without Realizing It

It happens when they inspire you at most and begin liking your preferences. They copy your tone, gestures, pacing, and even your breathing rhythm. They feel happy and make others happy with their actions.

 

Everyone Has Two Selves

Absolutely true that people are not the actually they pretend to be. They carry two selves, the one they show and the one they hide. The real self shows up in micro-reactions, not performances.

 

People Avoid Pain

Everyone is busy in their life in dynamic ways. Some fight from fear, some avoid pain and some enjoy happiness at the corner. Therefore, they seek pleasure and desire connections that make them feel happy.

 

Cover For Deeper Emotions

Everyone is different and therefore each raw fear, shame, and vulnerability is different. The energy derived from anger is different from other people’s energy. When you see anger, look for the insecurity or wound beneath it.

 

People Notice Who Listens

Usually it happens in meetings or discussion time that they notice who listens actively. Avoiding important conversations or showing that the phone is more important than their words often create subtle feelings.

 

Most Decisions Are Made Subconsciously
