When a fist lands in someone’s face that body language tells me that they don’t like each other.

Me: Dressing up as a frog on Halloween. FBI: mentally unstable

It easy to tell when someone lies. Their noses grow longer. This guy is good at his job. Need more people like him.

I loved when he said we blink 8 times per minute and then blinks 7 times in ten seconds

“How we walk has meaning” For example, if someone has a limp, there is a chance they are injured.

Everyone with anxiety: moves around FBI: he’s the one

Key takeaway: Every body language is transmitting some sort of information. Just try to assess but do not over-judge, especially if someone cross their arms or roll their eyes in different direction. It may not mean anything. Also, you can move around to identify the most comfortable space with others

As a non-spy and non-European, I have carried flowers that way. If you go walking along holding the flowers upright, the weight of the flower blossoms is bouncing on the stems and it only takes a little damage to the stems before the flowers wilt. However if you carry them upside down there is far less weight on the stems and so your less likely to do damage to them. Its really kind of obvious. While I can see why he thought it means the person was European, it might just has well have meant he was smart.

His body language told me that he was thinking “so these idiots think I can teach 40+ years of experience and education in a 15 minute video”.

I'm an expert too. I saw a guy walking the other day and quickly deduced he was going somewhere.

This guy gives me some comfort. I’m highly anxious and do a lot of the things some of the other body language people say indicate deception. It’s just my anxiety. I’m glad to see this guy looks at it differently.

I like this guy. He's got very good energy and I love his relaxed but yet serious mood he's got going on. Also very intelligent and he definitely is a very confident dude. I don't know this guy but he's got my respect.

Girl: *screams at me* Me: ah yes, according to the body language, she is angry

Imagine having this guy as ur dad and u lie about where you were and he’s like “nope Ik ur lying ur foot was pointing North west”

Carrying a bouquet upside down might be a general European thing. I'm German and as far as I know most of us also carry our flowers that way. My mum tought me to do this because it alledgedly keeps the flowers fresher.

This topic is so interesting because of how unconscious body language sometimes is. Even if the spy knows they’re being assessed, it’s still kinda hard to hide their nervousness or reaction to a certain cue. For us I think it’s pretty worth learning to be confident in events when necessary

I can tell by his body language he is saying "please get me a taller chair"

Dude, this is confidential.

I found his observation of the poker players fascinating . It would be interesting to show a longer segment on that .

People have no idea how great this guy is.

FBI men in movies: “That man’s blood type is o-negative, his father Bob was killed in a car accident and his last meal was a taco.”

I will now *never* lose another game of UNO again.

Excellent video! So helpful. Appreciate it very much, and it shows clearly that this is a good man.

As an autistic person (with ADHD as well), I wonder what would happen if he tried interpreting my movements because I do a lot of random nonverbal movements and don't do a lot of "those nonverbals that neurotypical people just do instinctively when talking to someone." whereas I don't even know they exist.

3:10 Imagine working years to get the American way, the perfect accent, the behavior, the way they act, to finally pass as a 100% American and in the end, flowers gave you away, wow.

Im gonna carry flowers upside down now, see if the FBI pops out of the bushes.

Oh my god, this is going to help me understand so much during conversations

This gave me so much insight on reading someone's body language

“Crossing your arms is like a self hug” Me: *cries in lonely while crossing my arms*

Imagine being in highschool about to take a girl out for a first date , you get to the door and this is her dad waiting to see into your soul .

This was randomly recommended to me, and i'm glad it was. Very interesting video!!!

We need more of these!

His body language tells me hes uncomfortable in that chair😂😂

Daughter: He’s just a friend. Him: the shake of your left toe says otherwise

He’s definitely someone who can make you admit everything just by his personality

The first half got me hooked. Because I always cross my arms, and touch my face. But I'm always ready to open those arms and give a hug to when my friends approach me. I always thought it was odd when they said it means you're being stand offish if you if you cross your arms. I thought, no it isn't. Thank you.

Dude got arrested by holding his flowers the wrong way lmao

"Forehead can reveal the amount of stress we had during the life" Oh boi, poor Gordon Ramsay

i just started the video and i am shocked how much he moves his hands and body while talking

criminals watching this: write that down, write that down!

Imagine holding flowers wrong and then getting a SWAT team break through your door

Growing up in certain environments I can say that I do almost none of these. It’s crazy how much childhood experience can completely change everything about someone. My father is the passive aggressive type, who often guilt trips and then tries to brush it off and then tries to put something on you then brush it off and we’re always being sarcastic. theres mistrust in the relationship, constant lies and a rocky marriage. Picking up on his intentions and what he tries to do to me when he speaks. He uses vague language so I can never really hold something against him without sounding accusatory and angered. I haven’t figured out why, but I end up avoiding communication in every way. Im self aware of everything I say and do. This sounds like an edgy attention grabbing comment but it’s the truth. I don’t react when I find something to be repulsive, painful, hilarious, impressive, scary, or breathtaking. Its like my body is still, and I have to manually forge a reaction that fits what my thoughts were when I saw it so that people don’t think i’m ignoring them or that i’m just a rude person. The only behavior I notice myself doing is wiping sweats palms on my pants. This is all I have to say.

The unmatched perspicacity coupled with the sheer indefatigability of this man makes him a god of the human realm.

This guy's body language tells me that he is uncomfortable with this interview and that he is withholding information.

Me: breathes normally Fbi: I see, you inhale oxygen as well

I've learned by observing my mom throughout the years that she's angry or upset or unsatisfied when she compresses her lips. Really helpful for me to be cautious and know what I did or say wrong😅

You've never been truly profiled, until you've flown El Al. Personally, I am grateful for their expertise and professionalism.

Me: **breathes** FBI: she’s guilty .

god his children must’ve had such a hard time lying to him

The most entertaining video I saw this year is probably this video

Amazing vireo i really enjoy it. This video really helped me to understand the body language and after this video i try out some technique mentioned in this video and its working. After watching this video i really excited and i want to know more about this techniques because this techniques really help my career however i daily interacting with my clients so i have good knowledge in this techniques i can easily crack anything and also go for better result in my life. Finally thank you Wired for the informative video and i have a suggestion that adding some book related to this topic in this video its really worth and helpful for many of them.

*gets hair in eye and blinks rapidly* FBI agent: TAKE HIM DOWN

Asthma patient: *heavy inhale through nose* FBI: where are the drugs

Dude this is some useful information thanks wired for providing it at 0 cost😊

Wow, this was super interesting. I definitely learned a lot!

Gah, Imagine being his children. "Where are you going son?" "No where." … "Why don't you sit down."

“Being a spy is nothing like the movies” * insert story about flowers that almost perfectly parallels Inglorious Bastards *

I am English and I carry flowers upside down. I was taught to do this because it keeps the flowers fresher until they can be put into water.

Dude I love this behaviour psychology stuff it’s so interesting!

someone: **scratches butt** us: WE FOUND HIM.

if I see this guy im public please don’t arrest me, im just socially awkward and anxious I swear I’m not a criminal

This guy keepes me awake.Great!

thank you for this knowledge

it must suck being this guy's children, he knows whenever they're lying

If someone's eyes are closed and aren't talking to you, they are sleeping

14:06 Idk why but I always love a story that includes statements like in the 70/80/90s etc.

i love reading confident people by hand gesture and strong eye contact

You just know he tells that flower story at every dinner party and BBQ.

As an introvert I have successfully mastered tricking people into thinking I am an extrovert through body language

I just ordered two of your books. Thank you.

What a brilliant mind! Great interview.

UKposts are you satisfied, I'm Sherlock Holmes now.

Person : casually walking FBI agent : *Hes carrying a nuclear bomb and knows einstein last words*

Ty for clearing up misconceptions there's so many ideas out there but few correct info..

You carry flowers downwards in western Europe or if you are a florist too. The reason is that it keeps the flower petals saturated.

Someone: breathes FBI: now stop right there. That's how they breathe in eastern Europe. You're a spy.

Mark Twain was onto something, when he said "It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt".

It also just really depends on the person. Some people are very good at naturalization, and being able to just understand people by their tone and stature.

It's about how they move, act, speak and react when you interact with them. It can also matter if and how they don't react.

Me: *yawns* FBI Agent: “so you thought you’d get away with it huh?”

Plot twist, his body language tells me the chair was too short and uncomfortable for him.

The body language and what it means makes sense, it definitely says a lot about humanity.

so real man i love this old dude

*blinks* “Yup, he’s a terrorist”

What I learned: People hold flowers upside down in Eastern Europe.

Just love this guy! So interesting, thank you. 😁👍🤩

Observing is important respect to amount of intelligence these people have

Him: starts talking about how many times people blink per minute Me: starts blinking uncontrollably

Everyone gonna go to school tomorrow thinking they an fbi agent

"how we walk has meaning" me in a wheelchair "i don't have meaning?" lol

I didn't know he was also on UKposts, I read his book. Very interesting and very practicable

Me: _shoves flowers into my mouth_ FBI: _WTF?_

Opens mouth FBI: ur about to say something

There's a way to escape people reading you through body language: thinking with this line of thought when about to do anything: "What a drag..." Try to implement it in everything but still doing everything not because you must, but because you need to, and your body will automatically be relaxed by itself, while your way of talking will be fluid. And your face would almost be expressionless.

I love how he’s using the term “non-verbal” instead of body language. If you know you know

Me: _moves feet and changes thumb positions_ Dad: “Why is the FBI here?”

Me going back to school as a more efficient liar.

Self soothing: sitting on a chair with your right leg tucked under it pushing the tip of the shoe into the floor. Enjoys the pointed feeling of resistance.

I hear you and I love the information you have been able to provide us all on this life 14:44 ❤️

Imagine having him as your father and you're trying to sneak out xD
