Not all of us are experts at body language but these five common habits can make you seem a little more arrogant than most while at work.
Majority of the times, people cross their arms unintentionally as a safety mechanism whenever they’re feeling awkward or uncomfortable — totally normal, we get it!
At the same time, experts believe that crossing your arms can give off the impression that you’re unapproachable, especially during meetings.
