3:00 grooming yourself is literally the opposite of confidence if anything it shows lack of it hence trying to improve their looks so suggesting guys posture up and puff their chest (to seem bigger and stronger is the opposite because it will show "he's nervous...why he has t adjust anything, if he was confident he wouldn't be doing anything extra"
Thanks for your comment and for sharing your perspective-it’s always great to have different views on such a fascinating topic! The insights I shared are drawn from Henrik Fexeus’s book The Art of Reading Minds. With over 20 years of experience studying psychology and body language, Fexeus explores subtle, often subconscious behaviours that people naturally exhibit. Regarding posture, the suggestion to straighten up or puff out the chest isn’t about faking confidence but rather about naturally embodying it. Small adjustments like these can signal confidence and presence, not because the person is overcompensating but because these behaviours are instinctively associated with self-assuredness. As for self-grooming, Fexeus describes it as a subconscious response rather than a deliberate effort to cover insecurity. For example, someone might touch their hair or adjust their clothing as an unconscious way to highlight their appearance, especially when they feel interested or attracted. It’s not about trying too hard-it’s just a subtle behavioural pattern rooted in human interaction. Of course, body language can vary based on personal experiences and context, so I appreciate your perspective. Thank you for watching and engaging, have a great day!
