Body Image and Self Esteem

Even the way someone holds his or her head when speaking says something about Self-esteem. When the head is brought forward some it gives off Self-esteem though its body language. When the head is tilted while someone is listening their body language says they are listening to you more closely and want to hear more. Although the positioning of the body should change to show that you are still participating in the conversation.

The motions or lack of motions say a lot about Self-esteem while you are talking. A large amount of excitement and/or aggression can be shown with these gestures. When someone leaves the arms by the body or behind the back they appear more comfortable and you feel more comfortable. When they give off the impression of being at ease and open it will make you feel at ease. You will notice you are just as confident in the conversation as they are.

Body language such as turning away from someone can affect Self-esteem as well. This gesture whether they are aware of it or not makes you thinks they do not like you. The majority of people lean in to talk to people they do not like and after a while if they began by turning away they will start to like you and turn to you.

A person’s body language has a lot to do with Self-esteem yours and theirs. Watching body movements can give you a better awareness between body image and self-esteem, mainly theirs and yours.
