Legs and Feet

Legs body language can give lots of messages without us really realizing. Their situation is really interesting because when someone tries to control his body language, he controls upper body. Legs give us people’s real intention.

Crossing legs over the knee or at the ankle shows anxiety. Moreover, crossed legs can give a negative or protective message. Possibly, the person is trying to isolate himself from the environment. While sitting, this can also show a relaxed situation.

     

If this is seen while standing, this shows the person’s shyness or instability.

Nevertheless, uncrossed or open legs indicate that the person is open to communication.  This is an inviting body language.

Standing about the width of the shoulders is a relaxed position. However, legs’ being wider shows dominancy or power.

The direction of our feet shows where our mind wants to be. If their position is to the person we talk it shows that the person could catch our attention. Furthermore, if you try to influence someone you can point your feet towards that person consciously. However, feet’s position to the door indicates boredom or impatience. When we want to go away from somewhere, our feet are directed to the door. 

While pointing feet show interest, pulling feet show disinterest.

Moreover, jiggling or tapping can show boredom. They can even indicate irritation.

Stamping feet can sign anger. It can even be an attempt to get attention.

When you want to understand whether or not someone is telling lie, you can look at his feet. In this situation people can move their feet. It occurs especially when the feet are hidden like under a table. Moving feet can also show anger or anxiety.

If a crossed leg moves front and back it shows impatience.
