Handshake – it is not just a greeting gesture. It can tell a lot about a person: their confidence, emotional state and even intentions. Psychologists say that through a handshake the subconscious transmits signals that are difficult to hide.
URA-Inform reports about this.
1. A strong handshake
If a person squeezes your hand firmly, but without excessive aggression, this is a sign of confidence, determination and persistence. However, a handshake that is too strong may indicate a desire to dominate and control the situation.
2. Weak handshake
An uncertain, limp handshake may indicate low self-esteem, shyness or lack of interest in contact. It is also found in people who are used to obeying and avoiding conflicts.
3. A prolonged handshake
If a person holds your hand longer than usual, it may indicate friendliness and a desire to establish close contact. However, a gesture that lasts too long may be perceived as manipulation or an attempt at dominance.
4. Cold Hand
The temperature of the hands also plays a role. Cold palms may indicate anxiety, stress, or strong excitement. On the contrary, a warm hand is more common among people who are self-confident and open to communication.
5. A Two-Handed Handshake
When a person takes your hand with both palms, it is a signal of trust and sincerity. This gesture is often used by politicians and leaders to demonstrate their goodwill. However, in some cases, it may look insincere.
6. A quick and abrupt handshake
If a person is in a hurry to let go of your hand, this may indicate nervousness, hidden tension, or even a desire to end the contact as quickly as possible.
