Gestures of assessment and delay

Lecture



They consider as a good speaker those who “instinctively” feel the interest of the audience, and also know how to finish the performance on time. A good seller feels when he manages to touch the buyer, and is able to reveal his true interests. Anyone who has made a presentation at least once is familiar with an unpleasant feeling when customers say almost nothing and just watch the process. Fortunately, there are many gestures that can be used to determine the attitude of the interlocutor to what has been said and assess the progress achieved.

Boredom

When the listener props up his head with his hand, it means he is extremely bored. The hand helps keep your head upright and does not fall asleep. Notice how hard her cheek is on her propping hand. First, the head rests on the fingers, and as the interest decreases, on the whole palm or on the fist. The complete lack of interest is illustrated in the figure. Such a posture may be accompanied by a slight snoring.

The hand supports the head so that when falling asleep it does not knock on the table.

Tapping your fingers on the table or feet on the floor is also often interpreted as a sign of boredom. This is not true. Such signals speak of impatience. If you address a group of people and notice such signals, you should immediately engage a person tapping his fingers on the table or feet on the floor in a conversation so that his behavior does not adversely affect other listeners. If you notice both signals of boredom and gestures of impatience in the audience, then it’s time to end the show.

“Are you talking in a dream?” The listener asks the speaker. “No,” he answers. "Well, don't talk in my dream either."
The speed of tapping is directly related to the degree of impatience of a person. The faster he bangs his fingers, the more he wants to get rid of you.
