#18: Excessive Nodding

Have you ever found yourself nodding along to someone’s conversation, even though you’ve completely lost interest? It’s a common scenario, and one that can be easily detected through body language. Excessive nodding can be a sign that a person has lost interest in the conversation or topic, but is trying to be polite and avoid appearing rude.

So what can you do if you find yourself nodding excessively? One strategy is to actively listen and engage with the conversation. Ask questions, offer your own opinions, and show genuine interest in what the other person is saying. This will not only keep you engaged, but also signal to the other person that you’re truly interested in what they have to say.
