Former FBI agent and body language expert Joe Navarro once again answers the internet’s burning questions about body language. Do power poses work during job interviews? Do liars smirk? Why do we cover our mouth when we see something terrible? Does peacocking actually work? Joe answers all these questions and much more.

Cops like this one are just looking for excuses to say that the guy they want is the guilty one, nothing more. “Body language experts” are only experts on bullshitting the person listening to them. It’s well known to anyone that’s spent more than a few minutes looking into these clowns that there’s absolutely no science to any of this, these “experts,” when pressed, will pull the “well it’s kind of an art” card, which impresses the uncritical but is, in reality, an admission of fraud. Don’t be fooled by cops, folks. They’re making it up as they go along.

Could crossed arms also be categorised as a peacocking behaviour? A lot of guys will cross their arms, purely because it shows off the forearm/chest/back muscles. It provides comfort, but it can also project strength (at least in my opinion).
Dany R
December 28, 2022 at 1:11 am
Yeah I would agree but also, like he’s sorta mentioned before, it’s never about one lone behavior. So for example, it wouldn’t be the same a guy just kinda chilling with his arms crossed, than a someone standing straight and tall, chest puffed, chin up… Which is what *I’ve* personally seen done lmao.

Why do people attempt to imitate inanimate objects? For example, there was a young gentleman at one of the online Area 51 Raids who ran past the camera with his arms straight back in a ‘V” like a fighter jet. As another example, pointer finger extended straight out with thumb up to intimate a gun. Even the simple act of flexing one’s pointer finger with the other fingers closed in loose fist implies a gun being fired. To my understanding, in some medical circles, “trigger finger” is a known ailment effecting sensation and fine motor control in the digits. But why do people do?

THANK YOU. I’m often accused of being closed off and distant because I cross my arms a lot. Everything described here makes sense, but in addition, I have shoulder issues and letting my arms hang down can be painful. To be fair, I am a very shy person and do struggle with interpersonal connection, but I do care about people a lot and I want to make them as comfortable as possible. It’s always made me sad that arm crossing has this bad reputation because I fear that it makes people less comfortable with me.

2:20 Smirking could be a “coping mechanism” too. A lot of people smirk when they feel awkward, embarrassed,, disappointed, emotionally hurt, and depressed, etc.
Also you have to observe someone’s baseline too. Some people just like to smirk in daily life. And it’s normal for them to do so.
One good example I could think of is Johnny Deep. He smirks often in daily life, and he uses smirks to cover his anxiety. You might see him keep smirking even when he was in court talking about his experiences of being abused. But it doesn’t mean he is absolutely lying.

So the question and answer about crossing our arms when we are angry are both a bit odd. Mostly the answer, I suppose. The question was “Is it true that we cross our arms when we are angry?” and the answer was “No, we cross our arms to self-soothe, which is something we often do when we are angry.”
So it’s kind of a semantic thing… YES, we cross our arms when we are angry… not because we are angry, but because we are self-soothing our anger.

That thing people do sometimes when speaking, where they make a pyramid shape with their fingers, is probably one of the most off-putting things to me. It comes off as arrogant and nakedly insecure all at the same time. It is not a subtle power gesture, despite being pitched as such. It is a red flag to me, and it has led to me avoiding people that actively use it. I wonder what this guy thinks about it.

Maybe this is partly because I’m autistic, but whenever I’m in a situation where I feel nervous or uncomfortable, I have a tendency to smile and laugh. I hate that I do this, I know it pretty much always looks inappropriate in the moment, but I can’t really help it. I’ve always jokingly said I hope I’m never a suspect in a crime, because I’d look SUPER guilty smiling and laughing in the interrogation. I wonder what this guy would have to say about that.

History teacher here… Sorry, there’s no way to know for certain what sorts of specific human gestures go back millions of years (if indeed any of our body language is that old!). We can’t even say anything with confidence about any behavior at all before the advent of writing just 5,000 years ago because we simply have no reliable documentation about body language predating the literate age. Prehistoric visual artists did not depict human beings in enough detail to tell us anything about pre-literate gestures and body language. And of course millions of years ago, modern humans didn’t even exist, nor did our closest cousins the chimps and bonobos. There’s no species alive today to give us clues as to the gestures and body language of LUCY and her relatives.

Hey, sign languages are NOT simply specific letters made with hands and facial expressions! Sign languages are complex linguistic systems, each one having their own specific syntactic, semantic, phonological, morphological, pragmatic (…) systems. For example, different sign languages select specific facial expressions as phonetic information. Althoug it is possible to use letters and to “spell” some english (or any other language’s) words with their hands, signers sign using sings.

It would be more intresting if he backed up all his claims with scientifc research rather than just being a “former FBI agent”, his abilities has no more scientific value than any other person.

A lot of this is just psuedo-science especially when you speak in absolutes by answering in a minute or less. For example mirroring behavior is less often a sign of comfort, it’s more often a sign of them having been together way too long. Covering our neck mouth etc is a cultural thing – a person of any other culture doing it is more often mimicking.
Wunderbar!

Thank you for dispelling the myth of crossing your arms meaning a person is being defensive. Far too many people think this. I cross my arms all of the time and it is just a comfortable position. It has no reflection whatsoever on my mental or emotional state. I often do it when I am tired, bored, or comfortable. Sometimes I just do it because I am sitting at a desk and it is comfortable to cross your arms and rest them on the table. This is a totally false idea we need to get rid of because people assume I am being defensive when I am literally just putting my arms in a comfortable position.

In teaching setting, our mentors kinda discourage us to cross our arms in front of the students because its a sign that you are mad- it promotes negative feelings towards them. (where in fact you are not😅)
But I agree with what Mr. Joe said because I love crossing my arms everytime I feel like I need to sooth myself for a short while. I remember some of people give feedback about me crossing my arms asking me if I feel irritated or what. And I always need to explain. They have no idea how relaxing it was for my psyche.

I would say with the hands in the pocket, psychologically if there deep in the pocket it’s a sign that the dude is more vulnerable. If his hands are halfway out of his pocket it means he’s cold but still wants to be able to get his hands ready if he needs them, hence not being fully inside the pocket. I was taught to do this in security because u need that split second reaction if someone attempts to hurt u.

I would make a very, very good FBI agent. My report would look something like this. ‘Around midday I saw a -man- -woman- *person* looking suspicious because *their* thumbs were all over the place. *They* was doing something definitely iffy because *they* crossed *their* legs whilst waiting in the queue to use a public toilet.
Later on, *they* introduced *themselves* but as more time has elapsed than my 0.3 sec names retention memory capacity, I can’t be sure- it was P something. However, I am a good FBI asset versed in Gestalt psychology and I am 100% sure that *they* is a criminal because his face was doing this 👉😏 (which I found extremely annoying)’.

2:37 I sometimes smile etc when it’s something serious, like someone got hurt or if I tell someone about a serious trauma or sad memory. It’s just a weird coping mechanism I can’t change.
3:45 My most common fear response is freeze and fawn. It happens a lot when I have anxiety or have been in actual dangerous situations. I sometimes get the flight response to a degree, where I freeze, but still feel the need to disappear or hide under a blanket. The feeling of needing to hide, is a version of the flight response, according to all the psychiatrists I’ve had lmao.
@dancesmokesmile344
April 30, 2024 at 4:24 pm
I appreciate the way you talk about it here, because it does annoy me a bit when people talk very matter of factly about what behaviors you use if you’re guilty of something etc, because those same behaviors are used when you’re anxious, and being anxious, nervous or having an anxiety reaction doesn’t necessarily mean you’re hiding something or that you’re guilty if something. If I was in an interrogation I’d act a lot like the YouTube body language people say are signs of being guilty when they cover interrogation footage etc, but I just have severe anxiety.
@Mrslisamaree
June 1, 2024 at 7:52 am
G’day Joe, do you have information about the wording you would use to frame questions during an interrogation? When you notice ‘red flags’ clusters, what would you say/common phrases do you use to entice someone to talk? What wouldn’t you do/say! What strategies do you use?
I often notice uncomfortable behaviours but don’t know what words are helpful to explore those behaviours …. and why does it seem to come naturally to some people! Thank you.
Btw, I am enjoying my new found hobby of observing people’s body language. I listen to various interrogators and you are by far, the most informative teacher and thoroughly entertaining. Well done.
