Understanding some of Gloria's movements

 Here are some body movements we detect in Gloria’s behavior and explanation from the book
''Body language'' by Allan Pease (and few of her explanations).

Crossed legs (left over right): This is the normal crossed-leg position used by European, British, Australian and New Zealand cultures and may be used to show a nervous, reserved or defensive attitude. However, this is usually a supportive gesture that occurs with other negative gestures and should not be interpreted in isolation or out of context.

Laughing: She told that when she is scared she laughs.

Arm over stomach: The full arm-cross gesture is sometimes too obvious to use around others because it tells them that we are fearful.

 

Finger in mouth for a one or two seconds: The fingers are placed in the mouth when a person is under pressure.

Shaking voice: She said that she is nervous.

When the head tilts to one side it shows that interest has developed.

At the end of a book author writes: ''Conscious observation of your own actions and those of others is the best way for each person to gain a better understanding of the communication methods.'' - So let's practice!
