Body language: State of frustration

Being frustrated is being unable to do something that you want to do badly. Suppose you have lots of work to do but don't have enough time, or suppose you have piles of work to finish but haven’t started working on them yet; you'll probably end up feeling frustrated. In body language, when people grow frustrated, they take the body form shown in the picture below. Scratching the back of your head or rubbing your neck from behind, as in the picture below, is a clear sign of frustration.

Other 'frustration' body forms :

The following are some other body forms that indicate frustration:

• Vigorously scratching your hands, face or other body parts
• Abrading your face with one of your fingers
• Tapping your hands against your lap
• Shaking your foot repeatedly in a nervous manner
• Some Micro forms:

As you've just seen, very slight changes to your body language can have a big effect on your relationships with people. In my book, How to make someone fall in love with you, I described how slight changes, such as keeping a straight back, can increase the chances of people falling in love with you. The more confident you appear, the more attractive you will become; nothing can make you appear confident more than a straight back.
