Eye contact is a non-verbal communication. It has different meanings from different countries.

There are three different meanings in different countries, it can mean that you want to have a
fight with that person, you are interested in what the person says, or that you are romantically
attracted to that person. We should be aware of the situation we are in and act accordingly,
instead of just giving eye contact all the time.

The way you fold your arms conveys different messages to others. According to a survey
conducted by Amocatchi, she showed over 1000 people a drawing of someone folding their
arms. 43% of respondents thought that the person shows he is listening and agreeing, 40% of
them thought the person in the photos are rejecting and disagreeing, and 17% of respondents
are not sure. This proves that the way you fold your arms conveys different messages to others.
Therefore, we should be aware of our body language of our arms, or revert to a neutral position
which can be done by having your hands closely clasped in front.

Dr. Frietas found that the way people stand has a significant of listener’s perception of the
presenters. For example, during a job interview, interviewees fail their interview due to their
poor standing posture. If you put your hands on your hips while presenter, you’ll look arrogant.
The best way to stand is to relax your hands and let them hang by your side.
