One of body language: He's in a state of anxiety
Close-up of body movements: His hand is placed under his hips - sitting on his own hand.
Behind the scenes: When people freely and unreservedly express their feelings, their hands often fly around unconsciously, with their hands under their hips and sitting on their own hands, indicating that the person is trying to control themselves to avoid blurting out what they should not say.
Response tips: Praise him for being a sweet baby, etc. You can also use relaxed body language to soothe his uneasiness - extend your arms behind the back of the chair, assume a comfortable appearance, or give him a surprise hug from behind.
He is not necessarily hiding something unseemly, but is afraid that what he says will ruin the whole situation or atmosphere - in fact, many people have had this habit since childhood. This also indicates that he is worried that his next words and actions will cause others' displeasure. When he feels your peace and tranquility, he will also relax, and the sense of insecurity will gradually disappear.
Body language 2: He has something to say
Close-up of his body movements: He leans forward, his shoulders fall down, and his gaze floats over your head.
Behind the scenes: Many people make this body language involuntarily when they decide to reveal the truth. This gesture represents his psychological state of submissiveness and obedience, and secretly hopes to gain your understanding. However, you don't have to make a decision right away - what he's prepared to say may not be the one you're most worried about. Perhaps he just needs your help.
Response tips: Use a light tone and start with questions like "You seem to have something to say to me," then shut up, leave some time for him to consider the wording, and patiently wait for his response. Do not keep asking like turning on the phone and turning off the gun, but "steal" his chance to speak.
If what he wants to say is not something to apologize for your heartache, of course he won't hide it in his heart for too long. "If he hesitates more and more frequently and swallows his words to the point of his mouth, the truth representing the matter is likely to annoy you very much - at this point, you'd better be prepared mentally, otherwise once you mess up, you won't be able to calmly think about how to deal with it.".
