A person’s posture says a lot about their confidence. If a person keeps their back straight and looks ahead, they appear confident. If they slouch over, they may look intimidated or helpless. When this happens during a conversation, it can mean that either the person holds this posture regularly, if it is consistent, or has become very uncomfortable during the conversation if they suddenly slouch over and “hide”. If this is the case, show some reassurance, or simply switch topics. Make the person feel comfortable.
