Reading People Signals

Learn to spot the one-sided shoulder shrug, a nonverbal cue that can betray a person's spoken words. Unlike a full shrug signaling uncertainty, this partial gesture often 'leaks' a person's true feelings, suggesting a disconnect between what they say and what they believe. Noticing this 'emblematic slip' is a practical skill. It's a prompt to look closer, as it can reveal ambivalence, a lack of confidence, or even deception when someone claims to be sure.
