Sometimes you talk about something with a person, and suddenly it turns out that he is not listening, or is listening, but thinking about something of his own.
In such cases, it would be right not to waste your time or someone else's, but to agree on a new meeting. And to avoid making a mistake, pay attention to the hands of the interlocutor.
We'll tell you what gestures indicate that a conversation may be unproductive.
Restless fingers
The interlocutor may constantly tug at the hem of his clothes, hair, rub his palms and look for a place for his hands.
Perhaps the person is worried about something or is unsure of himself.
Palms folded into a house
Fingertips touching with palms spread apart - this gesture sometimes indicates concentration, but often indicates a self-confident personality type and even a demonstration of superiority.
Hands on chest
This pose characterizes a person who is detached, withdrawn, and generally not in the mood for any kind of negotiations.
And if the interlocutor raises his thumbs up, then he is clearly dominant.
But there is another explanation for the arms crossed over the chest.
Perhaps your counterpart is mentally in another place and is busy with something else “there,” and is only nodding his head in response.
