Stop fidgeting and start sending the right messages

If you fidget a lot it can come across that you are bored, distracted or nervous and anxious. Constant fidgeting can seem rude to others and make it seem as if you'd rather be somewhere else. Composed stillness, on the other hand, presents you as someone who is calm, confident and strong.

Why do people fidget?

You may find yourself fidgeting when you are restless, bored or anxious. Or maybe you don't exercise enough and have an excess of energy to burn off. Alternatively, you may be one of those people who fidget when they find themselves out of their comfort zone.

Fidgeting can say the wrong things about you

Fidgeting during a date or a job interview, or when someone else is talking to you can come across as rude and set a terrible impression. Fidgeting, and especially nervous touches to the face and neck, can also make you appear dishonest because that sort of body language can convey you have something to hide. In other primates such as monkeys fidgeting can denote lower status in the tribe.

This can completely undermine whatever message it is you are trying to convey by words. If you fidget a lot then, at the very least, it will be hard for others to take you seriously.

When you stop fidgeting you appear more in command of yourself, you'll feel more relaxed and confident and come across as a much more socially confident person.
