Former FBI agent and body language expert Joe Navarro breaks down the various ways we communicate non-verbally. What does it mean when we fold our arms? Why do we interlace our fingers? Can a poker player actually hide their body language?

The first one with the flowers is exactly like the scene in inglorious bastards which is a classic movie btw. I don’t wanna spoil it but when the spy ordered a drink.
6:50 “If you see rapid movements of the feet, you might be dealing with an Irish riverdancer!”
Hahahahaha
I always thought that was just a bad habit I picked up some how. Now I know! It was in Limerick, Ireland in the Hungarian refugee camp when I was 3 yrs old. We must have been learning to do as the Irish do!
😂😂😂
I’m engaging a permanent “welcome to Chili’s” mode after watching this.

Nobody:
Joe: “I know your blink rate is 8 times a minute”
I blinked 9 times to prove him wrong
I blink like crazy when smoke gets in my eyes.
I have way more than that because I have a tick
He then blinks about 8 times in 10 seconds…
TypicalMan I haven’t legitimately laughed because of a YouTube comment in awhile, thank you.
“I know your blinkrate is about 8 times a minute” in the space of time when he said that he blinked seven times in seven seconds WHAT’S HE HIDING.
That we blink 7 times a minute lol
That something was irritating his eye?
Wind, pollen, eyelash.
Or maybe just a medical condition.
Naaa, no way, that would mean the FBI expert could be wrong.
imagine after posting this comment, you heard *”FBI, OPEN UP!”* at your door
That’s how you know Mr Joe was LyInG
Modern Woodsman not in an interrogation room and medical conditions are usually known before hand
Y’all couldn’t give the man a more comfortable chair smh
Never mind the chair… give the man an office.
Agree 😊.
seriously. the suit says “burgundy leather armchair” but the chair says “handcuffed crackhead in the drunktank”
*FBI OPEN UP*
…your feelings
+Betsy Jones wait a minute….
+Betsy Jones Ok imma need some context on that
Bro…
+Betsy Jones plot twist as a child were you a dog
Quail……open your mind…….opennn yourrrr miinnddd………..opppeeennn youuurrrrr mmmiiiiiinnnnnndddddddd……
when he talked about blink rate…i forgot how to blink normally 💀
Mark Zuckerberg wants to know your location
Me toooo!
Same lol
*Left eye blinks* 0.00001sec later *right eye blinks*
Me: **watching this video***
My FBI agent: bruh I know this guy
ana your friend: he’s my buddy who always putting innocent people in jail for holding a flower to the wrong way
Your name unsettles me
CHAOS! CHAOS! You mean me
*_So, what are you sitting for?_*
*_I held the flowers wrong way…_*
He: Blink rate is 8 times a minute
Also he: blinks 8 times in 10 seconds
Juu Juu agent*
I noticed that too lol 🤣🤣🤣
lights used for video making are very bright and cause you to blink more.
AT 4;03 LOOK AT HIS BOTTON RIGHT SHOES HE IS SHAKING THEM ?? LEFT AND RIGHT
This is actually pretty helpful as an artist interested in drawing comics and graphic novels.
i was thinking this same thing
Or even an author
Problem is your drawing for an audience for entertainment, so most of your displays of character stills will have to be exaggerated. Also a lot of information in body language is in perpetual movement, rather than the suggestion of movement or a one off motion. Someone scratching themselves is 99% of the time doing it because they are scratching an itch, but common misconception of body behaviour believes otherwise.
cattysplat I wouldn’t say that’s a problem. Many of these nonverbal movements can still be exaggerated to appeal to an audience. And just in general make characters seem more human.
Opens mouth
FBI: ur about to say something
Your profile pic is the reaction
Me: 🤮
lmfao hahahahahahaha
WRong….surprised pikachu meme
:O ……
:T
6:56 says that when someone crosses legs it means that the person feels threatened.
6:58 crosses legs
*Thanks Mate 😉*
*when asked a question or when faced by a specific situation, lets use common sense…
+Ben *You did it wrong!*
+TehUltimateSnake -crosses arms-
+bob Zombie -@Ben-
what have you learned?
If I hold bought flowers the wrong way, I may end up being interrogated in Guantanamo Bay
Y’all have learned dido… flowers without chocolates is the wrong way to go!
He was already a suspect 😂 The FBI doesn’t interrogate anyone who holds their flowers wrong
+maungthomas wow generalizing based on coordinates, says more about your culture lol
+maungthomas Except they were assuming he would hold flowers like an American because he was pretending to be American. So if they suspected he wasn’t American, then they’d be looking for any sign he wasn’t acting like one. And the point is that the guy DID know about other people’s cultures, or he wouldn’t know that Eastern Europeans hold flowers like that.
+Cheng Tang precisely.
Are you saying that all this time, Simon Cowell just needs a hug?
Should be top comment, lol.
Did he pay you to post that? I wish I could get the psycho off my recommended list along with *ELLEN*. Oh well, I’ll just have to keep deleting them. No offense, just the thumbnails are enough, especially first thing in the morning! My YouTube channel is plastered with them every day and still, I refuse to see. They’re hacking my phone with a few other official *published*. No doubt.
Imagine dating this agent’s daughter…
FBI Agent: ur tryna smash huh 😎
*holds flowers upside down*
“It’s a spy!!”
You don’t need to be a father in the FBI with 20+yrs experience in body language to know that one lmao
More like, FBI gonna smash your face.
I carry flowers in my teeth to trick people into thinking I am a flamenco dancer.
“i know your blink rate is about 8 times a minute”
me: **starts blinking intensively**
Loll 😂😂😂😂
Me: itches at my arm because i have eczemia
FBI agents: COUGHT YA!
