Common conclusions
, Generally speaking, first impressions are the best ones. So, start with a warm handshake to create the right impression that you're a confident individual who is glad to meet the other person. Always keep your right hand clean and free while meeting new people, so it is ready for a handshake. While giving a handshake, make eye contact to show off your confidence to the other person.
When you see someone for the first time, give a genuine smile by looking into the other person's eyes. Make sure you have a friendly expression while doing it. Both these gestures will show you off as a genuine and confident person and others will tend to gravitate towards you.
It's not such a good idea really! Though most of us tend to think eye contact with the other person is a mark of self-confidence, it can also make the receiver feel intimidated by it. That's when you should maintain eye contact when the other person is talking to give the feeling of listening to him or her intently. But when you talk, never stare into others' eyes. Rather, break off eye contact gently and seamlessly as it will give the receiver a break and will show you off as a confident person.
Confident people never fiddle with their hands or use distracting gestures and animations. They simply make their point and use gestures to back up what they say as a non-verbal communication that says the same thing. Sounding too animated, speaking too fast, or fiddling with your rings, thumbs, or palm are often signs of low self-confidence. While it is not possible to avoid them overnight, build your confidence and be conscious of these habits. Over time, you'll stop doing them.
The position of your arms can speak volumes about your self-confidence. For example, people with low confidence levels or those who tend to be anxious, keep their arms pinned to the sides of their body. Also, they may fold their arms in a self-hug position, all of which displays a lack of confidence. On the other hand, sitting with arms clasped behind your heads or showing off your armpits to others is seen as arrogance and that should be avoided as well.
Your posture plays a big role in your subconscious mind and when you strike the right one, you'll come out looking confident. But how can you find that pose? It comes with trial and error and varies for each person. Stand before a mirror and practice until you get that perfect pose.
Great! Make sure you follow it for the first few times until it becomes a habit.
