1. Slouching
Sloughing makes a terrible impression. It projects low self confidence and makes you appear lazy, making this one of the best body language tips to consider. Don’t permit your body to fold in on its self, but instead, sit or stand straight to appear confident and authoritative.
2. Crossing Arms or Legs
Crossing your arms or legs indicates that you’re not open to others. It kills the boundaries of negotiation and friendship. Even worse, it can be observed as a sign of a defender, combative and ill-mannered.
3. Standing Too Close
Avoid standing too close to your friend, colleague or boss. This signifies that you’re occupying their intimate space which will make them feel uncomfortable, anxious and threatened. So respect their private zone and put a little bit of space between the two of you.
4. Face Touching
Make sure you aren't touching your face when you're in the middle of a conversation. This can send a subconscious signal that you're lying or bored.
