Those who often come to people, such as members of royal families, politicians, television presenters and movie stars, do not want the public to notice that they are nervous or not confident, They prefer to give the impression of people who are cold, calm, balanced. However, internal anxiety manifests itself in disguised forms of crossing hands. As always, one hand moves towards the other, closing the case. But at the end of the gesture, the hands do not cross, but touch. A person touches a handbag, bracelet, watch, cufflinks or other object near the second hand with one hand. Thus, a barrier is formed and the lost confidence was returned.
Famous people are nervous in public just like ordinary mortals Men who wear cufflinks often begin to correct them, crossing the room or the dance hall — that is, at the moments when they are in public view. Most like to correct cufflinks Prince Charles. This gesture gives him a sense of confidence in those moments when he crosses the open space, being in front of the public.
It may seem to you that after half a century of constant stay in public, surrounded by large crowds of people, royal persons such as Prince Charles are not at all nervous. However, the involuntary crossing of hands betrays his uncertainty, the same as any of us would have felt in his place.
Prince Charles straightens cufflinks, unwittingly betraying inner self-doubt An unsure person starts to straighten the watch strap, check the contents of the wallet, rub his hands, play a button on the cuff - in a word, to make such movements that will allow his hands to at least implicitly cross in front of the case. Uncertain businessmen, entering the meeting room, usually carry briefcases or legs in front of them. An experienced observer immediately recognizes such a gesture, since it serves no other purpose, but is simply an attempt to conceal nervousness. Such gestures can be seen in places where people have to pass in front of a group of observers: for example, crossing the dance hall or going on stage to get a prize.
Women use disguised barriers less clearly, since they usually have a handbag or other object in their hands. Princess Anna, for example, appearing in public, always holding a bouquet of flowers. Queen Elizabeth never appears without a bouquet or a handbag. It is unlikely that there is lipstick, makeup, credit cards or theater tickets in her purse. A handbag is a means of giving confidence and communication with accompanying people. Observers identified twelve signals sent by the queen and talking about where she was going to go, when she would stop, leave or get rid of the annoying interlocutor.
Handbag used to form a barrier One of the most common types of disguised barrier is the habit of holding a glass or cup with both hands. It is quite possible to hold a glass with one hand, but two hands allow an unsure person to form a reliable and not conspicuous barrier. Almost everyone uses such gestures, but very few realize their true meaning.
A bouquet can be a reliable barrier in any situation.
