Body Language and Personality




Body Language,color preferences and the choices a person makes can help us know more about his personality but still none of these things can help us get a full map of the person's inner works. As well as Body language which is best defined as a non-verbal form of communication showed through facial expressions, gestures, posture, and body movements, says a lot about one’s personality. 

"Personality" depends upon whether ones thoughts are generated by one’s mind. 

The Clothes that we wear, the way we walk, our face features, our body language, our tone of voice, our doodles ,our hobbies and the music that we prefer can reveal a lot about our personality.  And through his body Language we can see that others are truly feeling, thinking, fearing or desiring. Several body languages show several personality characteristics.

Facial Expression

If you are always staring, this would indicate that you have a negative aura, and this will push others away. And if you are constantly seen smiling, you are going to attract other sunny and happy people to you


Eye movement

As we engage in conversation with another person, taking note of eye movements is a natural and important part of the communication process. As well as through this process we can identify about that person’s personality character and personality disorder that person have.
When a person looks directly into your eyes when having a conversion, that indicate they are very interested about our talk and paying attention. 
 
And as well as breaking eye contact and looking here and their while we continue our conversation that indicates those is in uncomfortable, or distracted. 

Eye blinking is natural thing. But the way of blinking we can say something about their character. People often blink more rapidly when they are feeling distressed or uncomfortable.


Posture

Posture is also very important.  Through the human posture we can identify something about their personality.  Sitting style, slouching shoulders are some important things to find some personality characteristics about people. 


Walking Style



If we are in happy mood then most probably we are going to have an energetic walk where our walking speed becomes faster.
When people feel confident and courageous they people walk with wide steps and they tend to bypass their friends who are walking with them due to their higher speed.

Some people exert heavy pressure while stepping on earth. People walk like this because of contrary.  People tend to walk with heavy foot steps that exerts high pressure on whatever they are stepping surface. Through this walking style can be an indication of lack of flexibility.

Some people walk slowly dragging their feet behind them as if they have no energy to move. The lack of energy is usually associated with sad feelings or depression  but it could also reflect fear or uncertainty about what is lying ahead.

So actually through this body language, we can find some hints about their personality as well as personality disorders. This is not a theoretical concept. However body language is more important to people improve their positive personality characters and reduce their wrong things that indicate from their body language.
