    Body language and gestures can convey important messages. 1. Avoiding eye contact when you feel shy or uncomfortable. Crossing your fingers is done when hoping or wishing for good luck. Staring can make people uncomfortable unless it's in a friendly, flirtatious way. 2. Being "all ears" means you are paying close attention and want to listen to what someone is saying without interruption. 3. Gossiping or sharing stories about others should be avoided. Regret is felt when you realize a mistake like missing a deadline.
