Your [body language](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-secret-body-languages/) speaks just as loud as your spoken word. How you react and move your body in response to questions or simple conversation are true indications of how you truly feel. Do you know what to look for in your friends? What about yourself? What does your body say about you? Keep reading and find out! ## 1. Pulling Your Feet in towards You ![Pulling Your Feet in towards You](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/06/7-important-body-languages-signs-you-need-to-know/pulling-your-feet-towards-you_important-body-languages-signs-you-need-know_500x375.jpg) Photo Credit: [szeing](https://www.flickr.com/photos/szeing/21241940/) If you (or your friend) cross your foot behind your ankle and draw your feet in towards your body, you may be saying, “Stay away from me.” If you are in an uncomfortable situation, your body will want to flee. Why not run with it? ## 2. Pointing Your Feet towards Him ![Pointing Your Feet towards Him](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/06/7-important-body-languages-signs-you-need-to-know/pointing-your-feet-towards-him_important-body-languages-signs-you-need-know_500x354.jpg) Photo Credit: [Dyxie](https://www.flickr.com/photos/dyxie/466391014/) While you are talking to him, pointing your feet forward is saying, “I support you, I am being attentive, and I am here for you.” Consciously, you are saying you are truly concerned with his conversation and you are glad to be with him. ## 3. Mimicking Each Other ![Mimicking Each Other](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/06/7-important-body-languages-signs-you-need-to-know/mimicking-each-other_important-body-languages-signs-you-need-know_500x335.jpg) Photo Credit: [Arthur Chahini](https://www.flickr.com/photos/chahini/4397010276/) If you copy every movement she makes, you are very comfortable with your friend! Does she touch her chin with her knuckles, just like you? Then you two are exhibiting how close your friendship really is! ## 4. Crossing Your Legs Away from the Public _ Photo Credit: Princess Cy_ This movement is saying I am very involved with the person I’m talking to and would appreciate no interruptions! A gesture that closes your body off from public view means you are intimately close with your friend and aren’t focused on anyone else in the room. ## 5. Head Tilted up ![Head Tilted up](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/06/7-important-body-languages-signs-you-need-to-know/head-tilted-up_important-body-languages-signs-you-need-know_500x377.jpg) Photo Credit: [lσvely lσяissa](https://www.flickr.com/photos/lorissajohnson/4095576575/) When you tilt any part of your body upwards, you are saying you feel extremely happy and satisfied. Watch for a tilted chin, foot, or hand. And if your guy is leaning his head over to the side, then you know he is sincerely listening to you. ## 6. Squinted Eyes ![Squinted Eyes](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/06/7-important-body-languages-signs-you-need-to-know/squinted-eyes_important-body-languages-signs-you-need-know_500x333.jpg) Photo Credit: [GoodNightSweetArt (kyrakin)](https://www.flickr.com/photos/kyrakin/2077385522/) Do you feel as if you need to defend yourself? When these emotions arise, you may self-consciously squint your eyes. Another way you may put up a defense might be to curl your body in: slumped shoulders, sunken stomach, and chin tilted down. ## 7. Feet Pointed to Run _ Photo Credit: Princess Cy_ If the conversation you are involved in causes you anxiety or strife, your feet will be pointed in the direction of fleeing away from that person. So, if you have had a feud, or fight, with him or her, your body will position itself in the route it wants to be walking. Have you seen any of these gestures from your friends? Or have you seen them in yourself? Tell me about it!
