Reading People Signals

Understanding this nonverbal cue can reveal when a conversation has hit a nerve. Hiding one's hands, whether in pockets or behind the back, is often an unconscious signal of nervousness or withholding information. While visible palms are associated with honesty, a sudden concealment can be a major tell. It suggests a sensitive topic has been broached, prompting you to pay closer attention to what's not being said.
