Have you ever felt like someone was not fully on board with what you were saying even though they didn’t express it verbally?
An expert in body language, Adrianne Carter, has shared insights on how to detect agreement or disagreement during conversations. Her tips on this specific behavior have gained immense popularity on TikTok, amassing over four million views.
In a video demonstration, Adrianne showcased a gesture involving placing her left hand just below her chin with the index finger pointing upwards by her ear. She explained that this gesture indicates the listener is contemplating the speaker’s words.
According to Adrianne, as the finger moves higher up the side of the face, it suggests that the listener is processing the information but may not necessarily agree with it. She emphasized the significance of observing the finger’s position on the face.
Several followers resonated with her observations. One follower admitted, “I never realized this before, but it totally applies to me.” Another mentioned noticing similar behaviors on a TV show and expressed excitement to analyze the characters’ reactions.
On the other hand, some TikTok users disagreed with the generalization, arguing that interpreting body language should involve considering individual variations rather than making blanket assumptions.
Adrianne defended her expertise by mentioning her qualifications in facial expressions and body language training, including certification in the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) obtained 12 years ago. She also highlighted her experience working with notable clients globally and lecturing at prestigious universities.
