you speak to them is if they were either concerned about what
you thought of them, or if they are worried you might be

doubting their ability to keep up with your instructions
(employees sometimes do this when the boss is giving off a
string of instructions and they’re trying to impress them by
showing that they can keep up with everything that’s being said).

Tightly Clenched Jaw - The only time someone’s jaw would be
tightly clenched during a conversation is if they were feeling

stressed. If you notice that the words they tell you might make it
sound like they’re okay with an idea but their jaws are clenched
while they’re saying it, that’s the signal you need that tells you
they’re not as okay with the idea as they’re leading you to

believe.

The Feet - Another part of your body which could get you into
trouble by sending mixed messages. When you tap your toes,
someone might get the impression that you’re either feeling
anxious or you’re in a hurry to bring the conversation to a close.

Tapping your toes when you’re trying to get the attention of
another is a way of getting them to notice you without
interrupting a conversation that they might be having. Toe
tapping is a way of signaling when you’re feeling pressed for

time without having to spell it out directly because you don’t
want to come off sounding rude. There’s a reason people tap
their toes, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best form of
communication, especially since either way you’re going to be

perceived as being rude when you continuously tap, tap, tap at
someone else. Imagine how it would feel to have someone
tapping their toes at you.
