#1 Eyes never lie
Most people will say that someone cannot look another person in the eyes and lie, but that is a myth. Paul Ekman’s research found that pathological liars have no problem staring someone in the eyes and lying.
#2 Touching Shows Dominance
Another body language misconception is that people in power show their dominance over others by touching them. Research has shown the opposite. It is often the person of lower status
that touches first. Research has also proven that women are more likely to initiate touch than men.
#3 A Smile Means Happiness
We often associate smiles with happiness but again, that is a myth. People may smile for many reasons including when they are
fearful, in contempt, feeling dejected, and unhappy.
#4 Crossed arms means resistance
It simply can be because someone likes this posture or looking for an alternative posture
after being in open body postures for a long time.
#5Putting your hands behind your back is a power gesture
Actually, most people find the gesture untrustworthy. If we can’t see what someone else’s hands are doing, we’re suspicious.
#6Nose touching and mouth covering are universal signs of deception
Researchs couldn’t find a correlation between deception and nose touching and mouth covering as well.
