This is actually a really great question.\n\nBody language can tell so much about a person.  Whether they are confident, afraid, sad, angry...\n\nIf you want to attract people to you--whether at an interview or another social situation, it is important to present an "openness" about yourself.\n\nWhen you see someone who has long hair and it hides their face, what do you think?  Scared--Low self-esteem?\n\nWhen you see someone who has their arms crossed across their bodies (except for when it's cold out) what you think?  Standoffish? Angry?\n\nThe best way to know what is going on inside someone is by their posture.  \n\nIn an interview--sit on the edge of your chair with your face turned toward your interviewer.  You may cross your legs at your ankles if you are female or hold them ankle to ankle (in a sexually neutral position).  Never spread your legs or hold your hands in your crotch.\n\nDo not cross your arms as this gives a defensive pose and makes you physically and psychologically unapproachable.\n\nLean into the person you're talking to.  Don't lean back with your arm thrown over the back of your chair--this could mean over confidence or cockiness.\n\nAt a party, don't stand against the wall.  If you are nervous, attach yourself to someone who you know and tell them you are nervous and ask them to introduce you to one person.  You immediately know one person and thereby know one more.\n\nGood luck!

Asking is sometimes nice but to have a man read my body language is excellent.... Woman are so obvious sometimes.. Our body language and conversation and facial expressions can tell you exactlly what we want... You just have to be able to read and listen for the signs...

It plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception and motor output. Fine tunes the body position and motor movements.

im taking psych 1010 right now, and what we learned is that if you can figure out how the mind and nervous system work we can help figure out why we as people do the things we do. like sudying the nervous system helps explain our reactions, emotions, and studying the parts of the brain helps us to know how we control our speech, motor skills, and many other things. it is kind of a building block for everything else. i hope this helps

Desmond Morris has been writing about body language for a long time.  Here's an article about his theories.  Or you can read one of his books. The Naked Ape, People Watching, etc.\n\nhttp://www.forbes.com/2005/10/19/morris-desmond-gestures-culture-comm05-cx_lr_1024morris.html

Could be bad posture.

Posture.  Good Posture.  Hold your head high, relax your shoulders, keep back straight at all times, bottom tucked in and be so grateful you look so great.  Read "good posture" on Internet, copy and tape up next to the mirror.  Don't take it down. You won't  get fat on your back but you will get smiles.  Trust me.

Body language as a mirror of mind?  Not so easy to figure out.  For example, a good actor can show a different "face" to the world.\nThere's a very interesting article ("When Body Language Lies") in Harvard Business School website : http://hbswk.hbs.edu/pubitem.jhtml?id=3123&t=organizations\n\nStill, here's a standard list of body language cues.  My personal view : psychology cannot be so standardised (yet).  Just read on for fun ...\n\nNONVERBAL CLUES = INTERPRETATION \nBrisk, erect walk = Confidence \nStanding with hands on hips = Readiness, aggression \nSitting with legs crossed, foot kicking slightly = Boredom \nArms crossed on chest = Defensiveness \nWalking with hands in pockets, shoulders hunched = Dejection \nHand to cheek = Evaluation, thinking \nTouching, slightly rubbing nose = Rejection, doubt, lying \nRubbing the eye = Doubt, disbelief \nHands clasped behind back = Anger, frustration, apprehension \nLocked ankles = Apprehension \nHead resting in hand, eyes downcast = Boredom \nRubbing hands = Anticipation \nSitting with hands clasped behind head, legs crossed = Confidence, superiority \nOpen palm = Sincerity, openness, innocence \nPinching bridge of nose, eyes closed = Negative evaluation \nTapping or drumming fingers = Impatience \nSteepling fingers = Authoritative \nPatting/fondling hair = Lack of self-confidence; insecurity \nTilted head = Interest \nStroking chin = Trying to make a decision \nLooking down, face turned away = Disbelief \nBiting nails = Insecurity, nervousness \nPulling or tugging at ear = Indecision

Concentration - That all-important mind-body connection. Conscious control of movement enhances body awareness. \n\nControl/Precision - It's not about intensity or multiple "reps," it's more about proper form for safe, effective results. \n\nCentering - A mental focus within the body calms the spirit. A particular focus on the torso (abs, pelvic girdle, lower back, gluts), as develops a strong core and enables the rest of the body to function efficiently. All action initiates from the trunk and flows outwards to the extremities. \n\nStabilizing - Before you move you have to be still. Makes for a safe starting place for mobility. \n\nBreathing - Deep, coordinated, conscious diaphragmatic patterns of inhales and exhales initiate movement, help activate deep muscles and keep you focused. \n\nAlignment - Proper alignment is key to good posture. You'll be aware of the position of your head and neck on the spine and pelvis, right down through the legs and toes. \n\nFluidity - Smooth, continuous motion rather than jarring repetitions. Pilates has a grace and elegance to it. \n\nIntegration - Several different muscle groups are engaged simultaneously to control and support movement. All principles come together, making for a holistic mind-body workout.

Ask.Talking in a relationship is very important. Communication. So you find out if somebody likes you by talking to them. Don't worry most people are scared to talk to people that they don't know.

yeah ur question is a bit vague but im going to guess by saying that ur asking why we move our "parts" so much. frankly, the reason is because our "parts" hurt if they are not in a comfortable position.

I had to take several seminars on communication when I worked for a local government agency, and this topic was discussed at all of them. We were taught four main strategies.\n\n1. Mirroring. This simply refers to watching what the other person is doing and acting in a similar manner. If they use a soft tone of voice and speak slowly, try and match your speech to their volume and pace. If they use gestures, such as nodding the head to signify understanding, feel free to also nod in understanding as they speak to you. If their posture is casual, such as standing with their hands in their pockets, you can relax your posture a bit was well; if their posture is very straight and stiff, try to mirror theirs. The goal of mirroring is to set the other person at ease. Gradually, as you become more familiar with one another, your own, personal or cultural tendencies will tend to emerge more, but mirroring at the beginning is a good way for you both to establish a safe comfort zone.\n\n2. Body posture. Generally, it is best to practice "open" body posture. Keep your head up, rather than tucked down into your chin, and don't cross your arms or your legs. Try and keep your facial expression as open as possible as well by smiling and maintaining polite eye contact. Opening your body posture is a way of communicating openness and your willingness to communicate.\n\n3. Verbal expression. As noted above in item #1, you should try and match the tone and speed of your speech to theirs. You should also do this with vocabulary. If you are communicating across language barriers, keep it simple. Don't say "enormous" when "big" will do just fine. If you both speak the same language fluently, still make an effort to match your vocabulary to theirs. Don't make assumptions based on appearances, such as talking down to someone because they look like they may not have the same educational background as you do. (Listening to verbal cues, such as how they pronounce words and the fluency with which they express themselves will usually help you out in this department.) Try to avoid slang and regionalisms, as these can cause a lot of confusion. Most importantly, if you don't understand something, politely ask for clarification. \n\n4. Research. This is invaluable, especially if you know in advance that you are going to be dealing with someone from a culture which is considerably different from your own. Going to Japan as an exchange student? Read up on Japanese culture and social customs. People flying in from the Rome office for a big meeting? Read up on Italian culture so you have some idea of what to expect.\n\nThey also taught us that in dealing with people from other countries and cultural backgrounds, there are several areas where it is easy to get into trouble, so be careful about these:\n\n--"Personal space". In the US, "personal space", meaning how close you physically are from someone when speaking to them, is usually 3-4 feet. The tricky thing is that "personal space" varies widely from culture to culture. In some cultures, people maintain a greater distance when communicating, and in others, they get so close that many Americans feel like they are being invaded. It's very hard not to take a step back when someone steps close to you, or not to step closer to them if they step away. Try your best to let them set the boundary, and then try to keep that distance constant. However, if they are so close to you that you are uncomfortable, and cannot concentrate on the conversation, it is acceptable to take a small step back after a few moments.\n\n--Physical contact: Again, this one varies greatly from place to place. Shaking hands can really be a problem. If someone offers you their hand, shake it. If you put yours out first, and they don't make a move to take it, return you hand to your side, don't just grab theirs and shake away. Be careful about touching people of

Body language is instinctual, and actions speak louder than words. Maybe.
