Pacifying behaviors: Know someone's state without talking!
If you see someone with a pacifying behavior when you speak about something, just note that the person is in a stressful state and change your approach to being with them.
- We use pacifying behaviors to calm ourselves. Chewing gum, touching our necks, and touching our beards may help us calm down if we feel uncomfortable.
- A few behaviors that indicate stress – whistling, talking to ourselves, excessive yawning, leg clenching, sliding your hands down your knee.

Body Language Of Feet And Legs!
- We often cross our legs when we’re confident and comfortable with someone or a situation (no real threat around).
- We also tilt our legs towards the person we favor in courtship. Also, women dangling shoes with their toes is a sign of comfort, and so are footsies. Limited foot touching is bad.
- When we don’t want to see or be around someone, we’ll often shift our feet to turn away as a sign of being displeased or wanting to disengage. This behaviour is automatic.
- A knee clasp and a forward leaning torso indicate that someone is ready to leave a situation.

Learn What People Say With Their Arms!
- People restrict arm movements when lying! It’s indicative of self-restraint and caution, not necessarily deception.
- Behind the back: superiority and don’t come close to me.
- Arms can be blockers, “keeping someone at arm’s length” has real meaning.
- Arms can be used to mark territory.
- Dominant people splay or arms.
- Hooding: hands interlocked behind head: confident and dominant.
- Wealth is often shown on arms, or muscles, or tattoos, or smooth vs tanned elbows – observe arms to learn about people.

Hands And Fingers
- Good speakers use their hands to enthrall an audience; hiding hands is a suspicious activity so don’t do that (withdrawn, sneaky, and deceptive).
- Decreases in touch signify relationship problems.
- Don’t finger point, no one likes it, and it distracts attention from your message.
- Thumbs in pocket with fingers out = unsure of yourself (low status or confidence typically with men).
- Nail-biting signals nervousness or insecurity.
- Thumbs up signifies goodneess!

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
