JAKARTA - Body language or gestures are non-verbal communication. In fact, according to studies, as much as 65 to 95 percent of what is communicated is expressed through body language. Words or utterances do not always represent their true intentions.

In fact, it is not uncommon for someone to say 'yes' but while shaking their head. Not infrequently, this non-verbal communication is often overlooked by the interlocutor. Gesture cues express feelings, emotions, anxiety, intentions and even feelings of stress.

That means body language not only exposes lies, but also expresses uncomfortable feelings when expressed through statements. So, what about someone who has an introverted character?

Introverts are often identified as shy. In fact, not all introverts are shy, and all shys have an introverted character. That is, introvert and shy are not synonymous, but a shy person feels anxious and nervous when in social situations.

For example, shyness can be awkward and awkward when meeting new people and attending parties. Meanwhile, an introvert feels that being around many people is considered energy draining. They tend to like intimate gatherings and small groups.

Even though they consider their energy exhausted when they meet people, introverts do not avoid meeting. They have ways to recharge, such as spending time on their own for walks, reading, and relaxing.

What is often mistakenly associated with introversion is also about not being good at socializing. An introvert is considered incompetent in his social life. But the truth is, introverts are not aloof and self-isolating.

At one time, introverts were very open and could smile in front of a crowd. Well, at other times it looks like it limits his personal life and doesn't like to be disturbed when he needs to recharge his energy.

Thus, gestures or body language and their meaning play an important role in reading positive signals of introverted characters. Her body orientation and which way her body is facing when talking to you determines her attractiveness in the conversation.

An introvert is not interested when his body turns away even though he still tries to respect you as the other person. If he is interested, his body will face the other person and have the option to listen even without engaging in the conversation.

Another clue is that when an introvert is interested in a conversation, his head will nod and keep listening to the other person. Not infrequently followed by a sound "hmm..hmm" to give the other party the opportunity to continue the story.

But if he is not interested, he will interrupt the conversation and change the subject or apologize.

Finally, pay attention to where the feet are facing. When an introvert's feet and legs are facing the other person, he will pay attention to the conversation even if he does not speak up. However, if the feet are facing away, or the door for example, that means he is not interested.
