<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Communication between people is not limited to the words that are spoken. Often it is the unsaid that betrays a person's feelings.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A person's thoughts and feelings are also expressed through appearance and behaviour. Body language is difficult to suppress or simulate; if you know how to interpret body language, you learn much more about the other person's actual feelings.<\/p>\n
Fear can be recognised in various ways in body language. Fear shows itself, for example, as fright or shock, as panic or also in a more defensive, submissive way.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In various professions, especially in solving crimes, it can be important to learn to interpret body language, especially fear. It can also help to assess the credibility of a witness. In daily life, recognising body language is useful in interpersonal relationships.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Head posture and facial expressions<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fear and submissiveness is shown by a head tilted downwards. Often the fearful person plucks at his hair. A pale face reflects terror. Sometimes fear of the other person is also shown by a smile in which the eyes remain expressionless.<\/p>\n
The anxious or fearful person avoids eye contact, the gaze is directed towards the floor, the environment or their own hands.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Signs of unease also betray anxiety. The eyebrows are furrowed or raised, the nostrils flared. The lips are either pressed together or bitten.<\/p>\n
A fearful person may also fix their gaze on their counterpart, with the pupils dilated and unmoving.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Body and gestures<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
A fearful, defensive person crosses arms and\/or legs and hunches their shoulders. This can be a sign that the person has a secret and is afraid it will come out. When a person crouches down, it can mean that they are unconsciously trying to appear smaller in order to appear less aggressive to other people.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
If there is fear of punishment or physical harm, the person concerned either tries to run away or contracts into a ball. Conversely, there are people who tend to fight back out of fear and they make themselves visually larger to appear more threatening and deterrent.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
An anxious person tries to increase the physical distance to other people by backing away or by trying to get a table or chair between them.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
A typical symptom of anxiety is heavy sweating due to accelerated heartbeat and increased adrenaline levels. This is a natural, automatic reaction of the body in anxiety and stress situations.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fear can often also be recognised by the position of the feet. A person who is afraid of someone or of the situation places his feet outwards or in another direction, an unconscious flight instinct.<\/p>\n
