1. Body language of aggression:

Some degree of aggression can sometimes be helpful especially if you are trying to defend yourself or your position. Recognising aggressive body gestures expressed by others will also help you to understand their true feelings and intentions better and make better choices in dealing with such people. While clenched fists and frowning are the better known signs of aggression, more subtle signs include invading other person’s personal space and chin tilts.

   1. Body language of defence:

Recognising defensive moves and gestures by others will help you to change your tone, tactics or even body language to change the mood and establish cooperative and productive environments. In defensive mode people tend to use barriers. These could be anything from a table to a handbag in women’s case. The eyes also give away the defensive person’s true feelings as they start looking for an exit route.

   1. Body language of domination:

Some body gestures common to those who want to present themselves as dominant includes standing with their leg apart and shaking hands with their palm facing down. A dominant person may also ignore you in order to show his superiority. The gestures associated with superiority include avoiding eye contacts during conversation and interruption while you are talking.  Chelsea Elm
