Look at People’s Feet As You Approach an Ongoing Conversation
Body language is a big part of human interaction, but some people find it more difficult to read . If you want to join a conversation that is already underway, the legs of the participants can tell you if it is open to others or not.
If two people are in the middle of a conversation, the last thing you need to do is interrupt what you don’t need to be involved in. Andrian, author of Speak Leader and author of Social Dose, invites you to pay attention to all your legs as you get closer:
If they only turn their torso and not their feet, it means that they are engaged in an important conversation and do not want you to interrupt them. If they turn both the torso and the feet, then you are welcome.
This may not be the case for every single scenario, but body language is usually more eloquent than our own words. There is nothing wrong with coming up and trying to join you, but remember how people react to you and take the hint.
