I am a body language expert – this ordinary hand gesture can make you come across as arrogant

A body language expert has revealed the hand gesture that you can make it happen as arrogant and conceited.

Adrianne Carter, a body language and communication expert established in the United Kingdom, told her 668,000 followers Tap To use the signal ‘with caution’.

The hand position of the steep, also known as pyramid, includes placing the fingertips of both hands on top of each other to form a triangular shape.

Although this can sometimes be completely harmless, especially if the person often does it, Adrienne warned that it could be a sign that someone might be a bit full of themselves.

She said that the person who will do this hand movement is probably very confident or often the leader in a certain situation, for example in a meeting at work.

Adrienne told her Tap Page: ‘The person in the room who feels confident and often the leader in the room and the decision maker will often do this to show their self -confidence, sometimes of course, sometimes intentionally.

‘When that gesture is exaggerated or too much, the person can actually look arrogant.

“So if it is something that you do naturally, fine, but keep an eye on it, and if it is something that you do on purpose, be careful not to use it too much.”
