Body language and facial expressions communicate much more to others than you realize. Sometimes you do things that are completely normal (to you), but you don't even know that you are emitting negative energy with such actions. Do you remember what actions these are?
We collected 7 behaviors, with which you emit negative energy, without even realizing it. Here, we emphasize that such behaviors are completely normal and part of the fact that all people have some "mistakes". Which of them are typical for you?
7 behaviors that emit negative energy:
You avoid eye contact
It is often difficult to maintain eye contact, especially when you are talking to a person with whom you are not completely relaxed. If this is a habit of yours, maybe consider trying to consciously improve it, as avoiding eye contact like this can be embarrassing for those around you, and it can convey the wrong things about you.
You hit the ground with your foot
Stamping your foot on the floor shows nervousness and unease, and in addition, such a constant rhythm is simply unpleasant for other people.
You keep your phone in your hand all the time
Phones already dominate our daily work life anyway. If you are constantly looking at your phone even when you are hanging out with friends or family, you are missing out on precious moments in life.
You keep it together
A closed posture is comfortable in the short term, but unhealthy in the long term. If this isn't reason enough for you to start standing up straighter, perhaps the fact that you are telling the world that you are not a very self-confident person will convince you.
You sigh
There are certainly moments in every person's life when sighing and rolling their eyes are in order. However, this expression of despair, boredom and disappointment should be reserved for when things really go wrong.
You hide your face
Covering your face in a sweater or your hands in your sleeves can send the message that you are shy and insecure. Of course, every individual experiences feelings of insecurity and there is nothing wrong with them, but sometimes it is wise to be aware of what you are communicating to those around you about yourself and to control it a bit.
You ignore (electronic) messages and calls
Sometimes (often) there are just too many emails, calls and messages. However, you can hardly afford not to reply to messages. If you have a problem with too many unanswered messages or calls, maybe at least set an automatic reply so that you might not be able to answer because you are too busy.
