Rejection
·
A person who gets rejected gets confused and feels sad
and disappointed which is shown in his face.
·
He shows rejection by slouching.
·
He becomes frustrated and irritated.
Tiredness
·
A person who is tired feels sleepy and hence yawns.
Yawning is the most common indication of tiredness.
·
The person also sometimes stretches his hands and legs
indicating tiredness.
·
They also make very long sigh and close their eyes for
a few seconds.
·
All ages and genders have almost the same indication
for tiredness.
·
A indication mostly in males is to scratch there body
or behind but in females its mostly there head.
Some
even rub their necks indicating tiredness.
Boredom

·
A bored man would be slouching with is forehead a bit
wrinkled. He will have his mouth open (or oddly shaped) and feel a bit tired. He will be fiddling
with his hand or using it as support for his head. His eyes half open unless
his head is bent down and he is seeing upwards like in the above image.
OR
·
A bored person will lean back on whatever he is
sitting and have his body almost stretched. His mouth closed and in this case
he will not be tired but be in a position somewhat resting. His eyes will be
looking at a fixed point and again fiddling with his hands.
·
If he is walking he will be moving slowly not lifting
his legs much high and if the person or character and male is after the 20th
century he will have his hands in his pocket. He will have is head bent down
and in most cases shoulders up.
If
the person is standing still, he will have his legs a bit apart staring mostly
down or some fixed point. and again is hands in pocket. If it is a women the
position of the hand depends on their dress i.e., folded or clutching the
purse...
Happiness
·
The main indication his a smile on the face and
important thing is that there are no wrinkles of any kind except those of age.
His cheeks puff a bit.
·
When the person is happy he sits straight and is body
becomes rigid. His chest goes up as if he is filled with pride.
·
There isn’t much in the body language to indicate
happiness.
·
But when a person is excited with happiness he jumps
up and spreads his hands...
Anger
·
When a person is angry his face tightens and his hands
are in very much heavy motion to make the point
·
His posture is rigid.
·
His shoulders go up.
·
His body actions are quick and fast like moving his
hands or walking. Hands trying to bang something mostly.
·
His eyes become big and eyebrows come closer causing a
few wrinkles on his forehead. His cheeks lift up a bit.
Confusion:- in
state of confusion the person is doesn’t move much but his face says
everything. His eyes are wide open looking at some fixed meaningless point, his
mouth also open.
·
Irritation:- just like anger but his actions are
at normal speed and is shoulders are a bit high but not much.
· The one thing I observed is that the ears don’t move in any change in body language.
