Using body language to spot close friends

Using body language to spot close friends

One of the great things about body language is that you can use it to determine whether some people you just met are close friends or whether they barely know each other.

There are many signs that can help you know whether two people are close to each other or not but in order to increase the accuracy of your body language reading skills make sure that you gather more than two signs before you can make a conclusion.

The body language sings are as follows:

  • Private distance in body language: People who are close to each other usually leave very small private distance between them. As i said before the private distance in body language is the distance people leave between them while standing with each other. Its very easy to spot a group of close friends through their private distance because of the little distance they leave between them
  • Defensive position in body language : In body language folding the arms can be an indication of discomfort or shyness. Usually a person who is not feeling comfortable around others will fold his arms and this can be an indication that this guy is not close to them
  • Touching: I am not referring to people who touch each other intentionally but i am referring to the ones who sit very close to each other to the extent that their legs or other body parts touch without intention. As soon as you see this scene know that those people are close friends.
  • Putting all body language signs together: If someone was standing away from a group with his arms folded then he's probably a stranger to the group But if someone was standing close to others while maintaining open body language gestures then know that he is close to them

Use your mind when using body language

The reason many people read body language correctly is that they don't collect enough information about others before judging them.

For example a person might be standing away from his close friends with his arms folded because he just had a fight with them and that's why its very important to use your mind before judging someone based on his body language.

Just as you saw very slight changes to your body language can have a big effect on your relationships with people. In my book, How to make someone fall in love with you, I explained how slight changes, such as keeping your back straight, can increase your chances of making people fall in love with you. The more confident you appear the more attractive you will become and nothing can make you appear more confident than a straight back.
