Hello members,
We have all come across various theories on Body Language - but here is one that I have never been able to interpret - whether its boredom or if its - mere thinking process!
There is a consultant I am currently working with on an assignment - related to re-structuring. We share a lot of ideas, there is some amount of acceptance, disagreement, appreciation - let me put it this way - to me it appears I am helping the consultant to also move and think the right direction and on the other side he is also teaching me about handling / managing people. He is a very important contact of by boss.
Now - everytime I talk to him (or anybody) I keep track of body language and change of gestures to get a cue (as I mentioned we are involved in huge brain storming sessions).
There is this one thing I am NOT able to understand what it means...
While in the depth of conversation - he suddlenly moves his hands on his face and somehow all his fingers across his head / face and sees me through one eye and talks. I have observed that this happens when we both (its usually him) comes with his so called creative (but wierd) ideas)
So this is the position: Covering one side of a face with one hand and the other across his head in such a way that he sees me through his two fingers.
Could you please tell me what this means? Oneof my senior boss told me that this gesture could also mean "he does not want to see what he is thinking" or "he is just listening to me to make me feel okay, but actually thinks whatever I suggested is not of that great use"
Please help me with this! I am curious with this gesture - I mean, never come across this one!
Thanks
