Understanding body language can lead to closer relationships. Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language and being able to effectively read them is a very useful skill.
Watch for crying. Usually crying is considered a sign of sadness, but crying can also be an expression of happiness. Thus, when judging crying, you'll need to look for other signals to determine the real meaning of the crying.
Look for signs of anger. Signs of anger include v-shaped eyebrows (眉毛), and wide eyes. Arms tightly crossed over the other is a common sign that the person is angry and is closing himself off to you.
Studies have found that when people are engaged in an interesting conversation, their eyes remain focused on their partner's face about 80% of the time.
Look for expressions of embarrassment. Embarrassment can be signaled by turning the eyes or head away, and forcing smiles. If someone looks down at the floor a lot, they are probably shy, or embarrassed. People are often thinking and feeling unpleasant emotions when they are in the process of staring at the ground.
Notice any sense of pride. People express pride by showing a small smile, moving their head backward, and putting their hands behind their backs.
As a general rule, people are best at reading facial expressions, and then body movements, and, finally, personal space and touch.
