Body language can help you read people’s emotions and understand their feelings with an accuracy that is close to 100%.
Body language doesn’t only allow you to read people’s emotions but it can also help you give the impression you want to people. For example if you took the body language confidence gestures you will be able to give people the impression that you are a confident person.

Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill. Some of us can read it naturally and some of us are notoriously oblivious. Fortunately, with a little extra attentiveness, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it’ll become second nature.

A research was held at the University of Pennsylvania to determine to what extent a person’s body language can affect the impression people form of him. The shocking result the research came up with is that body language was found to be more responsible for the impression people form of you than your words.

The following are the detailed findings they came up with:
55 percent of the impression people form of you is based on your postures , body movements and gestures 38 percent was based on the tone of your voice (tempo and frequency).

Only 7 percent was based on what you say.

That means that a total of 93 percent of the impression people form of you is determined by your body language (which includes both Body gestures and voice tone) while only 7 percent is based on the words you say.
In other words this means that if you learned how to read body language you will be able to interpret people’s emotions with a 93% accuracy.
Why reading body language makes a lot of sense

Lots of people find it weird that reading body language can tell us about 93% of the real intentions of the people we are dealing with but when you put in mind that there are liars, imposers, dishonest people and people who don’t know how to express their emotions the results make a lot of sense.
Let me give you another example that will show you that depending on body language can be much accurate than depending on words people say. Lets suppose that you met a stranger who wears a horrible looking shirt? will you tell him about your opinion? of course not.

Most people suppress their emotions and opinions because of the rules their society forces upon them and that’s why their real opinion is reflected in their body language.

Based on these facts we can conclude that learning how to read body language will give you a deeper understanding of people and will help you interpret many of the unconscious signals they send.

Why its useful to read body language

Body language is now widely used in politics, investigations (where the suspect’s body language is analyzed), sales, negotiations and any other situation where communication between people is involved.

Body language is not only used in understanding the emotional states of others but it can also help you leave the impression you want. For example by using proper body language you can appear confident even if you were anxious or afraid.
