Body language, actions, and eyes.
You could make this into a science if you want, here are some simple signs:
Look at their body. How are they carying themselves?
Do they make themselves smaller, curling up? - they are uncomfortable and shy, afraid,....
Crossed arms? - Blocking you out, defensive, reating instead of acting
Leaning towards you? - agressive, attacking
Do they take in a lot of space, expanding themselves, showing armpits? - Dominant, confident, calm, relaxed, self assured, happy, satisfied
Tight jaws - agressive, anger
tense forehead - unsatisfied, troubled, anger
neck dropped foreward, chin dropped - ego-centric, uninterested, closed minded
Basicly any contraction is negative feelings, attitude,...
And any expansion is possitive. Both in face and in body. Also the eyes tell you a lot. Look into peoples eyes and just trust your instincts. By consiously changing your own body language, thus 'faking' to be happy,.... by expanding yourself, is proven to actualy really make you more happy and confident.
