Wanting to demonstrate their openness and honesty, people often open one or both hands in the direction of another person. Such a gesture may be accompanied by the words: “I did not do this!”, “Sorry for disturbing you”, “I am telling the truth” When a person wants to be sincere, he subconsciously opens his palms in front of the interlocutor. Like most body language cues, this gesture is completely unconscious. The interlocutor immediately intuitively feels that he is being told the truth.
"Believe me - I'm a doctor!"
Open palms are used everywhere. They immediately demonstrate openness and honesty. When children cheat or try to hide something, they often hide their hands behind their backs. Similarly, a man who spent a stormy night with friends, explaining himself to his wife, prefers to keep his hands in his pockets or cross them on his chest. However, the hidden palms immediately give the woman to understand that her husband does not reveal the whole truth to her. A woman trying to hide something, will try to avoid unpleasant topics and lead a completely pointless conversation, while doing various other things.
| When men lie, their body language is absolutely obvious. When women lie, they prefer to look very busy and businesslike.

Sellers are often taught to look at the palms of buyers when they explain why they refuse to buy. True reasons are always expressed with open palms. When a person honestly explains the reason, he calmly gesticulates with his hands. Those who try to hide their true motives may say almost the same thing, but at the same time they will try to hide their palms.
Hands in pockets are the typical trick of men who do not want to take part in a conversation. The palms are the vocal cords of the body language. They "speak" more than any other part of the body. Hidden palms can be compared to a closed mouth.
