During your one-on-one with Dick you notice him bouncing on the balls of the feet, an action that’s difficult to miss. The bounce can be a sign of excitement or nervousness, in which case it’s another self-comforting measure. Fortunately, the other nonverbal gestures associated with these emotions are different enough that you can almost immediately determine which issue you’re dealing with when you come face to face with a bouncer.

For example:

The nervous toe bouncer may make little eye contact, possibly hide his hands in his pockets, and use other means of self-comfort, like occasionally rocking back and forth on his feet or crossing his arms tightly in front of himself.

The excited bouncer may make good use of eye contact, smile, and use hand gestures to express his happiness.

Now, there’s also a third possibility for foot bouncing: For some people, it’s a habit that just feels good. (That’s another reason why it’s important to view body language as a pattern of behaviors instead of a series of random events.)
