If you are wondering how to read body language then you've come to the right place. Reading body language is one of the most important skills to cultivate if you want to improve your social life. It allows you to quickly tell how someone is feeling in almost any situation. So today I'm going to go over 30+ signs/movements and do a deep analysis on what each of the mean. This is The Ultimate Body Language Guide.

I feel like I’m studying humans to learn how to be human 😂
Some introverts need this because we aren't as social
Facts
@@supersonicsaga agreed
true, i litterally didnt know most of the body language except the feet pointing to you part bc i saw that in another video
Hello fellow alien. :D
Feels like a tutorial for aliens so they know how to interact with humans
Normal people don't need this, if you are aspie then it is useful
@@flyaway6671 yea becouse evrybody knows this stuff
@@colesniucalex8703 People learn how to read body language naturally, unless you have a condition.
@@flyaway6671 only a small amount of people do and is usally a limitid amount of bodylanguage techniques and isn't it faster to watch a couple amount of videos than try to understand this on your own
@@colesniucalex8703 No, for example most people can usually tell if someone is afraid, nervous, happy, excited etc. the key things you need to be able to read should come naturally.
All these nuanced movements are open to interpretation and you can misread it if you follow it like a robot. Only trust that the glaringly obvious is true when it comes to body language.

Hello, i love you for this
You really should be appreciated ...
how can I copy text
Awe I wish I knew how to copy you’re comment it’s a perfect summary
Thanks for the notes! I really appreciate it! (even though it’s his was a year ago)
This is one of Mark Zuckerburgs favorite channels when it comes to learning how to act human
Factss😂😂😂
I feel like this is just too much information to soak into my brain. I'll have to watch it again
Write it down write it down!
-spongebob
@@iliveinsideyourhouse3943 That's what I'm doing, lol
@@felixdacat4941 Me too lmao
after the video i already forgot most of it lol
leg kicking also occurs if you are short and your feet don't touch the ground. Just a note for all of the tall people.
As a tall person I can confirm we do this too, because of our tallness we like to sit on taller things where our legs can still dangle.
All the things you mentioned being related to being anxious it's me 99% of the day :')
Studying these to change my own behavior rather than to watch other people 🤔
I'd go for assertive and dominant to get the best results.
@@PiracyandDumbbells all fun and games until people dont react to your assertion and dominance. or when being assertive and dominant gets you killed, but atleast you died standing rather than live kneeling. domination works with violence never with threats if you dont look dangerous so you always gotta fight for dominance which makes you confronting people so many times and one day you lose
@@eskaban_edits_beats_and_more Sure, but if you know how to fight you usually don't go picking fights. Besides, some efforts in the gym and a smile on your face, and people notice.
@@eskaban_edits_beats_and_more that escalated so quickly. What do you suggest, not to fight, Eren?
"Ankles locking around chair=very very bad"
Me who did it virtually every time I was sitting during high school because I was bored:
👁👄👁
Some of these are extremely situational and clichees. I believe people usually don't cross their legs while sitting because they are defensive but rather because it's comfortable. And getting comfortable is a sign of confidence. Furthermore crossed legs prevent you from running away so they are unsuited for a stressful situation and very against your instincts.
Women in particular are extremely often seen with crossed legs or legs together no matter the situation. And men usually spread their legs (to not squeeze things). If there are positions that could be categorized as naturally comfortable for resting, then definitely those. And it is not something cultural, you can see it everywhere; you simply search in any search engine for people sitting and you will notice.
You can interpret everything, yes. However you should leave space for things with no deeper meaning.
thats why you should always look for context
and if the changes are sudden it should be saying something
Thing is looking at one feature wont help, thats why its called BODY language, u gotta check for other signs for whatever ur victim ids feeling
Bro said everything I wanted to say 1 year before me
Tbh I would split all body language into a few things: Distancing (discomfort, stress), Gravity defying (happiness), Gravity following (fear), Self-Sooth (Pacifying, stress), Blocking (fear). These things will appear in small ways, like blocking can be concealing the neck with their chin (face angled downwards), or self-soothe can be a nose touch or scratching of eyebrow. There’s no need to be specific about these, just know what all body language is all about.
The most confident people be walking doing the splits
HAHAHAHAHA
You have an answer for everything. My auto immune disease and degenerative disc disease makes me stand the way I do. Every day is different. Some days I have to sit in a position to keep from hurting. Damn the bag luck.
That dragging feet part, yeah, I did it so much at my school on a specific spot waiting for my bus, in the end there was a HUGE pit in the gravel beneath my feet.
Master only this, and you will start seeing life differently
Have you mastered this?
@@akbarmaluk4668 of course, mans cooler now..
@@jumiafood nicr
3:37 is not a barrier, the knee has to to be high so the person calf muscle area is on the knee when peopl put the ankle on the knee that’s a figure four position that’s not defensive leg crosses actually means someone is relaxed
Knew something was wrong with that one😂
Wow I literally do all of these and I’m not lying when I say that this is so accurate that its sorta scares me
I find this course helpful and entertaining at the same time. As a human I love being able to verify these postures
I'm loving this course
I usually cross my legs cuz it feels comfortable, so it doesn't have to mean you are not comfortable, and kicking with a leg is done out of habit sometimes or when you cant touch floor while sitting that is why kids do it
I like what you say about shoes and status. I have a friend that's a car salesman and he told me they always look at people's shoes to know if they are actually going to buy a car. I wear fuzzy house shoes out in public alot when it's cold but they are $150 UGGs so you can learn something from that too.
I wear my worst shoes when I am actually looking to buy, but I want to look on my own, not be bothered by salespeople. Dressing poor ensures they won't bother and I can look and shop in peace. I'll either make them pay attention when I'm ready or come back dressed better.
this video is so helpful thanks I learned a lot from it
I like how they can be all normal habbits
- face-to-face conversations - angle to side to be less confrontational
- ankles locking: restraint
- feet around chair: something is very wrong
- hands on knees while leaning back: nervousness
- hands on knees while leaning forward: want to leave
- ankle on other knee: a barrier (if it is the leg closest to you, you may be causing this defensive behaviour)
- leg rubbing: used to calm down
- knee rubbing: excitement, or used to calm down
- crossing legs while standing: comfortable in environment
- dragging feet: impatient or nervous
- ankle scratching: used to calm down
- feet stop moving: scared or threatened
- feet withdrawing: suddenly uncomfortable
- one foot away from you: want to leave
- both feet away from you: dislike
- toes pointing inward: shy or vulnerable
- toes pointing upward: positive emotions
- feet pointing towards you: like
i like to use body language as a subtle way to show i dont like you even if i dont feel like doing the queues (because now i know how to use it)
i feel like im studying a new language
I was in my room watching your video. by putting my legs above table. Damm! I learn all this by watching sherlock. but thx for the video it help me recall all of this.
Thank you improvement pill
I watched like 5 videos just to get confirmation on the Toe Wiggling. Thanks this video is priceless!!!
SIIIIIIIIIIIII, OTRO VÍDEO DE LA PÍLDORA DE MEJORA!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I'M SERIOUSLY FOLLOWING MOST OF THE TIPS!!!! TQQQQ
this is really useful for animation reference : D
7:58 - Pacing - Hard thinking ;) - It's my way to study
Yesssss thank you
I usually do frozen feet when I’m in the train station and somebody else is coming in front of my way. Just stop my feet suddenly in order not to crash one another😮.
9:04 I’m so thankful that I’ve watched this video I never knew that’s what it meant!
Thanks 😘
Finally a plausible reasson to look at girls feet
Me who does the last one all the time:
I’m in danger.
But seriously, I hope nobody calls the ambulance, cause I have never had a panic attack or done drugs. So weird.
same I just get really bored during class.
aw man i wish i'd found this video sooner so i can impress my speech teacher
I have the book!
*Stands so far apart I do a split*
*Confidence soars*
oh..these are very true 😭
Hello Improvement pill can you make a video about the Desire System or the emotional contagion by dr david, to confirm if it works or not and if it is functional, can you explain how it works? Please.
I often rub my knees when they are cold!🥶
Takeaway: begin jumping when approached by a potential friend, as it will communicate joy and surprise. Continue until they rub their legs
😆😆
I was watching your video
I like it I understand myself more 😂😂😂
Hello notification squad! :)
we need playlist of all body language videos
I was watching videos 1&2 to learn what a crossed leg with ankle and foot rotating and twisting means.
watching this and having a personality disorder is like a slap it the face 😃
What does it mean, if a person has their toes pointing down and their feet are in a opposite U-Shape?
I’ve never understood social cues at all or I guess I just never really cared enough.
But other people are big on that type of stuff.
I just have one primary stance which is face forward with feet spread out so I don’t have to turn my head to speak. Or sit with facing forward with my legs open.
People often think I’m trying to fight or that I’m attracted to them.
Not the case at all. I just feel firmly planted and self-confident.
If I’m sitting/standing in a comfortable position why should I have to be moving around every time someone walks in front of me.
Also why does footwear dictate social status.
You can be a rich man and wear cheap shoes.
Simultaneously a poor man who prioritizes the image of wealth might buy an expensive pair of shoes in order to feel like a rich man.
gonna do all this in the same time period to confuse the aliens trying to assimilate. thanks for the tips 😁👍
"Now to dive into the legs"
Now that's my kind of intro
"Crossing the leg closer to you" 3:40
If I'm facing someone, which leg is closer?
that's how people assume bullS on you. Like with astral signs
during this time, i adjust my leg posture because i feel pain staying in the same position for a full minute
okay great now make a guide for how to look at feet and in eyes at same tiem
on part of the leg crossing: I only use my right leg to do this because its very uncomfortable to do it with my left leg
I do this thing when I do a flamingo stance I've never seen anyone else do it so do any of you guys do it to
Thank you for this video. It realy helps me to be special. I have a question: 6:55 (foot turning away) this isn't 100% they don't want to talk to me, it can mean they just have to go somewhere else am i right?
I stomp my foot on the ground sometimes but thats because my foot might feel weird or something
The crossing legs is true I do that when people get to close in the gym. they better not hit me with that ball is what am thinking
I jumped when i saw “folklore” by Taylor Swift
More
You know I was just thinking about you pill and guess who magically appeared on my youtube home screen
So for the ankles locking around chair i actually have a interesting question. So my girlfriend tends to sit on my lap a lot but sometimes she'll lock her legs around my legs. Does anyone know what i should view this as?
How about both legs and feet pointing away and both close together. No movement, almost rooted.
Lol does Improvement Pill use stock videos/photos or does he record each segment in the video? Or does he hire someone to do the movements? While he’s talking over that.
It's very interesting because I can, only from watching the actors, intuitively feel how they might feel. It's probably due to evolutionary reasons. Especially at the last segment where the agitated feet are explained, I get a seriously uncomfortable gut feeling.
Those pigeons sure are confident
Mark be like: Ohh yeah this is gonna come handy
Body language isn't always 100% accurate
Most of the signs I demonstrate in all of these videos on a regular basis are the discomfort and low confidence ones lol
I wanna know so bad what is meaning to swaying on a stage from side to side , it's considered as foot dancing right? N it's known for kids but what about adults!!? Idk how to search 🤦🏻♀️
Agitated legs and feet= call for help
Me: but my legs are super itchy and i cant get to that spot
What if he places the opposite direction I mean right on right side and left on left side
Leg Tantrum: usually a sign of anger of frustration
Me who was just really cold:
So I cross my legs A lot. Like my right over my left, left over my right. I’m sitting down too, what does that mean? ( does anyone else do this?)
ok so in all of these videos i have the fight or flight, anxiety, stress, nervous habits... ALRIGHT 😃
Me: watching the video while shaking my leg constantly ...
Is this a reupload?
Pigeons when I'm near them: AHHHHHH
Pigeons when ppl are filming a youtube vid: How bout I join in
3:37 CROSSING LEG TO CREATE A BARRIER this is not always truth for men, men usually doing this bcs its comfortable to sit like that
Hey i just have a question:
When you walk into a room and you don't know anyone there , do you still keep a smile on your face or you just do something else???
Plz give me some answer🥺im desperate
I keep a smile. "How are you" is a pretty common conversation starter, and if you know how to keep a conversation flowing, you'll fit in in no time. "What brings you here" is another convo starter.
@@artemissrijan473 thanks for taking your time to write this🥺❤❤
@@Mimi-ol2wu Happy to help!
Love you 💗😚
I shake my leg usually. Hope others don't think i am stressed haha
yes, but my fidgeting type of behaviour makes some of these fall into the ''habit'' territory
The people with the highest confidence will do the splits
background song pls? 😭
foot tapping when someone is speaking may be a sign that they have a stutter
This is the first video without much animation...
Something I learned is that the more people like you the more they use emoji’s
I don't use emojis, I still like people.
The ones that I do r just comfortable or just habit lol
Ill never remember all this lol.
I always use the barrier 😖
I just imagine elementary school where we would put up folders on our desks for tests, but we would leave them up so the teacher wouldn’t see us talking after the test was over.
What if u sit on your own leg? 😅
Is that you in the video...🤩😁🤪
But probably in a middle of a conversation you are not going to whoever you are talking to check their legs or feet
I have to say that I don't resonate with the crossed leg sitting behaviour. For me, I tend to quickly get tired of sitting in a chair as opposed to sitting crossed legs on the ground, so I almost always cross one ankle over the other knee. But if someone is sitting next to me on a bench I would never show the bottom of my shoe to them, I find that extremely disrespectful. For example, if someone sat on my left, I wouldn't lift and cross my right leg because that would create a barrier (shoe) between me and the other person.
