With the help of facial expressions, gestures, looks, we completely unconsciously express our true feelings, even if the language says something completely different. What do body messages tell us?
We choose words so often, but we care little about what our body says for us. But in vain. Especially since body language is especially important in a relationship. Various studies show that 55% of information in communication is transmitted through eye contact, posture, hand and even leg movements. Most communication takes place non-verbally and often unconsciously.
Let’s figure out what language happy and unhappy couples speak.
Intense eye contact
Does your partner look into your eyes more often and longer than others? This is a good sign, confirming that he has a great interest in you and strong affection.
Now on the contrary – try to pay attention to how often you yourself look at your partner and how you feel about it. Avert your eyes or feel embarrassed? Or maybe you just like to keep your eyes on? If you find it uncomfortable to look someone in the eyes for a long time, you may need to look into the reason.
What are the hands doing?
If you’re still holding hands even after years of being in a relationship, it’s a sign of intimacy. Any gentle touch is an indicator that you are still kindling the flame in each other – you literally cannot open your fingers.
However, there are differences in the handshake: how close are your hands? Are they lightly touching or are your fingers intertwined? The smaller the distance, the more intimate feelings you experience.
News for the hand
Some people like to follow their loved ones. Unfortunately, sometimes this means that one leads, the other becomes a follower. Of course, sometimes it’s very pleasant to walk like that, but if you have such a habit, it may be time to think about the distribution of roles in a couple.
To be near or to possess?
As a rule, the position of the hands says a lot: if someone often sits or stands with their arms crossed, this is usually a sign of tension that you may not even be aware of.
When a partner is constantly clasping his partner’s waist, if they go somewhere, he behaves like an owner. But putting a hand on your shoulder while walking or when you are sitting together is an affectionate gesture: a loved one wants to be there.
Lips are not just for kissing
Do you often unknowingly purse or bite your lips, or notice the same with your partner? This is the message that the body sends, indicating tension, stress and nervousness.
SMS from feet
We should not forget about the lower body, because even the position of the legs can give intimate clues. It shows how someone feels in our society.
If the other not only allows you to touch his feet with your feet, but even consciously moves closer, this means that the partner feels comfortable. However, if you seek to establish a distance, this may be a sign of alienation, estrangement from each other.
The more a partner seeks contact with his eyes, hands or feet, the more interest he shows in you. If you notice that body signals have begun to weaken, perhaps you should talk about it, because not everything that happens in a couple can be guessed by the look or position of the feet.
