I have to mention, body language is NOT a 100% accurate all the time.
If someone puts his hands in his pocket, it doesn't mean he's afraid or embarrassed, maybe it's more comfortable that way, or his hands are cold.
Body language can be considered as a supporting signs to the feeling of the person, but not flawless signs.

Great share. One thing I'd add about reading people either showing interest or boredom, it's worth bearing in mind other factors. A closed body posture (like crossed arms) can often be because of other reasons, such as feeling cold in a cool environment.

Love the social distancing caused by the Pandemic I don't like people close to me especially when you go through Checkouts in shops. Continuous eye contact is used in therapy. As a trained Therapist we are taught to keep eye contact with client so that the client knows we are listening to them.

Leaning up against a wall could also mean they are crushed and using it for support.

If your trying to read someone, i think you should take a look at yourself first.

[josepedro]

Good video. But, about the last one, touching their face doesnt always mean they are nervous
For example, the person could have a itchy zone in their face
