How to cross your arms describes your current state, your emotions and your personality

Our personality is a set of behaviors and traits that distinguish us from others. These behaviors are the combination of our way of reacting to a specific situation, our way of expressing ourselves, as well as our gestures. When we speak of the latter, we speak of a non-verbal language, but rather a bodily one that is not as controllable as when we speak with words, because it is essentially our unconscious that controls it. This is the reason why our actions can betray us, and express our true feeling and not the image of ourselves that we are trying to project.

Often, the gesture accompanies your speech, moreover, many people speak with their hands. The way you cross your arms expresses your current state of mind, as well as your emotions such as stress, happiness, embarrassment, etc. Depending on how it is performed, this gesture would help to reassure oneself, and thus reduce stress, or to self-cuddle and get a feeling of comfort. It is also possible to hide a lack of self-confidence through this gesture. Moreover, a study carried out on this subject has shown that the action of crossing the arms interferes with cerebral functional connectivity. From now on, you will be able to become aware of your nonverbal language, and thus better control it so as to mask the emotions that your subconscious transmits, but that you do not want to reveal to others.

In order to perform the test in good conditions, and without being under the influence of the results, start by crossing your arms in a natural way, find your way to cross your arms, and then discover what it reveals about you.


Right hand out
If your natural reflex is crossing your arms and leaving your right hand resting on your left arm, you are surely a creative and open-minded person who is not limited to his own vision. You are rather curious and interested in the opinion of others. You are tolerant, and have the ability to project yourself into the future even when it comes to the most unlikely scenarios. You try to strike a balance between creativity and logic, however, this does not slow your imagination. Your way of crossing arms, proves that you focus on the possible solutions of the problems, and not the constraints created by the latter.

Left hand out
If you cross your arms with your apparent left hand, over your right arm, then you are an emotionally balanced person, you use your left brain, that is, your logic and rationality rather than your emotions to take decisions. You do not trust the opinions of others, and prefer to discover things for yourself so that you have an opinion of your own. You are respected by those around you because you are always trying to pull others up. For you, everyone is a winner, there is no 'better' person, but everyone is in their own way. Your developed thinking skills make you a good leader, and you are good at managing groups and alleviating the frustrations of others.
Both hands apparent
If you cross your arms, with both hands on your opposite arms, you may have confidence in yourself and a high self-esteem. You assume your responsibilities perfectly, and are willing to take risks, because after all, whoever tries nothing gets nothing. You are ambitious, and see things big, for you, you must always aim for perfection. You keep evolving by learning from your old experiences. You are comfortable when it comes to speaking in public, and know how to capture the attention of others through your pragmatic spirit.

The two masked hands

If both your hands are hidden and put under one another when you cross your arms, it is likely that you are introverted, and that you have difficulty opening to others. You are an independent person who seeks stability above all else. You have trouble adapting to abrupt changes, and do not like the unexpected. Often, you have had rewarding experiences, and when you share them with others, your mental strength and your patience amaze them.
