The wonders of body language

I have learned a lot about body language these past few weeks.one thing I have found out is that I cannot go out in public normally anymore due to the fact that I am reading everyone's body language. One thing I have learned is that there are many ways to show your dominance through body language. I have also learned that body language is a huge deal when speaking publicly. 

Although I just started learning about body language little did I know I was using one form of body language these past two years in basketball. After getting announced I always shake the coach’s hand. When doing this I always try to get the “upper hand” and then while shaking I put my opposite hand on the coach’s arm as I say good luck to them. As I watched the video I learned that many presidents have done this to show their dominance or who is boss. I also have done many things wrong. For example when publicly speaking the way I stand and where I put my hands. Another is eye contact. I tend to look quick to get it over with instead of really actually making eye contact and proceeding to talk.

As I have watched people’s body language I have learned who has confidence in themselves or who may be shy. Two big things I have noticed are what they do with their hands and the other is their posture. These two things let people know if you want to let them in when talking and if your confident in what you’re talking about.
