Gestures that most people would understand. They stay the same for many years.
Gestures can show happiness, encouragement, anger, sadness, boredom, hope etc.
Some gestures are the same in America and Japan. Some gestures mean something different in Japan than they do
in America.
Common gestures
Communication between people of different cultures is sometimes difficult. However, by watching gestures and facial expressions and listening carefully, even the most difficult ideas can be understood.
However, words and gestures rarely have completely fixed meanings. Gestures especially are very flexible and can mean a variety of different things.
Having contact with people from other cultures can help you to learn different gestures, and how to use them in many situations.
Learning the gestures of other cultures is really fun!

Worry and nervousness
When you are worried it's written on your face.You do not pay attention to your surroundings, preferring instead to pay attention to whatever it is on your mind.You tend to frown, fidget or rub your head.You also may drum your fingers, wring your hands a lot, bite nails or lick lips.
Uncertainty, annoyance
squirming on the chair, holding elbows tightly to the body

Never show your fist with the middle finger extended. This is an insult. Shaking a closed fist at someone is also rude, especially if it is in their face, and is an expression of anger.

Your body language is often
the true “compass” about
your impression of something.

• Raised eyebrows,• tensed lower eyelids,• eyebrows drawn together,• Lips stretched horizontally,
Fear
Fear also often causes cold hands, deeper and more rapid breathing, increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, sweating, dry mouth, and trembling or tightening of the muscles, especially in the arms and legs.
Physical Reactions:
Fear causes a variety of reactions depending on the intensity, timing, and coping options available. The reactions include:• Freezing in place and feeling terror if we can't do anything to
avoid the immediate danger.• Running or escaping from the immediate danger,• Sharply focusing our attention and mobilizing us to act to
reduce or eliminate the danger when we can take effective action to cope with the threat, or
• Panic, including shortness of breath, racing heartbeat, and the inability to focus on anything but worrying about the feared future event,
• Fighting to destroy the object of our fear.
Thumbs up and thumbs down are often used as gestures of approval and disapproval.
When we feel deeply depressed we lower our head. A teenager who leans back, spread his arms and smiles
when being reprimanded undermines the authority of his elders and therefore shows them disrespect.
When we put our hands on the hips we grow bigger and therefore more dominant and threatening - we take more space!
