There are two basic groups of body language postures: OPEN/CLOSED and FORWARD/BACK.OPEN/CLOSED is the most obvious. People with arms folded and legs crossed and bodies turned away are signaling that they are rejecting messages. People showing open hands, fully facing you and both feet planted on the ground are accepting you.FORWARD/BACK indicates whether people are actively or passively reacting to communication. When they are leaning forward and pointing towards you, they are actively accepting or rejecting the message. When they are leaning back, looking up at the ceiling, doodling (乱涂乱画) on a pad, or cleaning their glasses they are either passively absorbing or ignoring it.
