How Does 12 Signs of Nervous Body Language Work?

It’s like watching someone play hide-and-seek and giving away their position without even trying, that's what 12 Signs of Nervous Body Language is all about.

Imagine your friend is really excited to show you their new toy, but they keep fidgeting with their backpack, looking at the door, and blinking a lot. That’s like saying, “I want to show you my toy, but I’m also worried someone might come in and interrupt us!”, that’s nervous body language.

Each sign is like a clue your body gives out when it's feeling unsure or scared. For example:

• If someone keeps touching their face or scratching their head, it’s like they’re saying “I don’t know what to do next!”
• If they cross their arms and look away, it’s like they're saying “I’m not sure I trust you right now.”

These signs are like the clues in a detective story. If you learn to read them, you can figure out what someone is thinking, even if they don’t say it out loud! Just like how you know your friend is excited when they jump up and down before going on a ride at the park.
