Next, the psychologist noted that pursing your lips can offer up a key detail.
She added: 'Number two, pursing your lips. Pursing the lips is a nonverbal indication of irritation or disapproval.'
Francesca then noted that someone's feet can tell you what you need to know about their feelings.
'Number three, turning their body or feet away from you. This can indicate a desire to disengage.
'They might subconsciously position themselves toward an exit or away from the interaction,' she explained.
Similarly, the pro revealed that putting their arms around them could be a sign they don't want to be around you.
She said: 'Number four, creating barriers. Placing objects such as a bag or crossed arms between you can symbolize a need for psychological or physical space.
'Similarly, taking a step back or maintaining a noticeable distance can suggest discomfort.'
Lastly, the psychologist explained: 'Number five, limited smile or engagement.
'A lack of genuine smiles or limited facial expressions signals disinterest or lack of warmth in the interaction.'
