Do you know how to read people and decode body language? It is one of the most essential people's skills. When you think about reading people, you need to understand how to group each body language queue into one of two buckets, a micro positive or a micro negative. A microposit signals, interest, curiosity or engagement, a micro negative signals, nervousness, disinterest or boredom. There is a universal behavior humans do when they feel ashamed or embarrassed and it's super easy to spot. When people get embarrassed, they often touch the side of their forehead. This is a micro negative. You see this all the time when people are embarrassed, even animators recognize this as the universal shame gesture. Why does this happen? It is actually a starter gesture for wanting to hide or cover up or block out what is happening? If someone is really embarrassed, the forehead touch turns into a full on eye block where they go from the forehead, touch to the eye cover. Watch out for any time someone touches the side of their forehead or blocks their eyes, it likely means they are a little ashamed or embarrassed and it might be time to back off.
