6 ways of greeting reveal psychological characteristics

Introduction to this article: Although there are many ways to say hello, a person's psychology can be reflected from these various ways of saying hello.

1. People who look directly at each other

People who look directly at the other person when greeting are often aggressive in their interactions. They want to test the other person's true intentions by greeting, and secretly think about how to put the other person at a disadvantage so that they can overwhelm the other person in momentum. At the same time, it also expresses wariness and defensiveness towards others.

When dealing with such people, you need to be strategic. The first thing you need to do is to protect yourself and not expose your weaknesses easily, otherwise you will be looked down upon by the other party; then, take the next step when the opportunity arises.

2. People who don’t look into each other’s eyes

People who do not look into the other person's eyes when greeting, but instead look elsewhere, are usually timid and afraid of things, especially meeting strangers. But this does not mean that they are arrogant, but rather that their inferiority complex is at work. They lack confidence and are hesitant in their dealings with others. However, when a girl has a crush on someone of the opposite sex, she will often deliberately not look the person in the eye. Even if she meets him face to face, she will turn her eyes away. They are actually just throwing a smoke bomb, reminding the other party in the opposite way that they have opened their hearts.

3. People who deliberately take a few steps back

People who deliberately take a few steps back when greeting may think that this is a form of politeness or humility, but others will think that they are intentionally rejecting others and deliberately keeping their distance. The reason for consciously retreating may be that they are defensive and alert, and have reservations and fears about communication; or they may want to express their humility by giving up space so that the communication can proceed smoothly and develop in depth.

4. The person who pats the shoulder

If someone pats your shoulder without hesitation when greeting you, this action just means that he is not afraid of you at all and wants to show his dominant position so that you don't act rashly, otherwise he will launch a powerful offensive and force the other person into a psychological disadvantage. Of course, this action also often occurs between very close friends.

5. People who don’t say hello

Some people never say hello to others, even if classmates or colleagues come towards them, they still don't say hello. This shows that they have a tendency to be aloof and are very self-righteous.

They often work and study alone. Although they are diligent, the results are not always as good as they imagined. Another situation is that they are too busy and keep thinking while walking. Once they meet an acquaintance, it is difficult for them to remember the other person's name in a hurry, so they can only stare blankly or lower their heads and continue on their way.

6. People who take a detour when seeing an acquaintance

Some people take a detour when they see an acquaintance, just like Lin Xiangru did when he saw Lian Po, and avoided him from a distance. There are three main reasons for this situation: first, because they feel guilty, they must have done something wrong to the other party, the most common case being not paying back a debt; second, the acquaintance disgusts them so much that they really don't want to say hello to him or her, even if it's just a passing by; third, they have an inferiority complex and are ashamed to see people.

Warm reminder: Modern society is a society of communication. It is difficult to survive without communicating with others. Therefore, you should learn to communicate with others by saying hello.
