To understand body language, therefore, we need to observe a combination of behavior that a person displays. With lying, for example, look out for any or all of these:

Here are some common interpretations of gestures, although bear in mind the danger of making generalizations about body language (as stated above).
- A clenched fist shows anger. Folded arms may imply stubbornness.
- People who lean towards each other are displaying an interest in each other.
