Nervous grooming
Grooming is one of the most telling pieces of body language, when someone grooms themselves they start fidgeting with their appearance usually because they’re nervous grooming can be easy to recognize but it comes in dozens of shapes and sizes.
Now, some people playfully twirl their hair or fidget with their clothing, others are much more subtle but every grooming behavior sends the same message this person is feeling extra self-conscious around you because of your presence they’re hyper aware of every tiny thing.
They overthink the way their clothes rest against their body, they panic about the frizz in their hair or the shape of their posture.
If someone is grooming themselves, they want to look their best they want you to think highly of them on the surface, they may seem anxious or uncomfortable but most people groom themselves for the opposite reason, they’re not uncomfortable they’ve got butterflies in the stomach because they’re thinking about you.
