Chapter 13: Arms and Touch

Touch is one of the most controversial forms of communication. For some folks, touch can be a powerful means of communicating feelings and emotion. It can signal something very deep and meaningful between two individuals. For others, it might be seen as uncomfortable and even frowned upon in their culture. Consequently, it is important to take a deeper look at how touch and the use of arms can be utilized effectively in communication.

First, let’s look into the body language that comes from arms.

If a person opens their arms wide, it can mean that they are friendly towards you. It could mean that they want to hug or that they are happy to see you. It could also mean that they are upset with you or want to start a fight. You will be able to tell the difference between these two things based on the other body language that you see taking part with arms.

Arms can also be used to make certain shapes. They can show a person details of a conversation that cannot really be explained. You can use your arms to show someone how big something is, or you can use your arms to demonstrate a specific action. Arms can also show a person details of a conversation that cannot really be fully explained by the use of words. Arms are a powerful aspect of your body language. As such, they can drive your point home or sink your message.

Yet, properly managing your arms is one of the most important skills you can learn in non-verbal communication as it displays sincerity. In general, people tend to trust others who use their hands when speaking since it shows that they are truly engaged in what they are saying.

On the contrary, folks who do not use their hands when speaking seem robotic and insincere. While this may just be the effect of nerves, it does not give off a vibe of sincerity. As such, these folks may simply come off as being insincere or uninterested in what they have to say.

Furthermore, arms can also be used for waving, as a means of saying hello, or they can be used to wave as a signal of danger. If you raise one arm up into the air, it might mean you have a question. If you raise both your arms up into the air fast, it could mean that you are frustrated or that you are confused.

Arms may even be used in a threatening manner. You can use them to attack a person, or they can be used in imaginary fights to show what you are capable of doing. They can also defend you if someone tries to fight you. They can block a person from hitting or hurting you.

If you cross your arms in front of your body; it often means that you were uncomfortable or scared. This is almost similar to forming a shield in front of your body to protect yourself.
