People don’t like to show their weaknesses, so in difficult moments, we try to hide our insecurities and show others that we are in control of the situation and that we feel comfortable. However, words alone aren’t enough for these purposes — body language can reveal the real emotions and feelings of a person.
We at Bright Side have come up with a list of gestures that will come in handy for those who want to learn how to read the person they’re talking to like an open book and stop looking shy.
1. Slouching
Poor posture is not only harmful to our health, but it also tells others a lot about a person’s character. Insecure people do their best to be invisible, so they often begin to slouch when they are in a stressful situation. A study conducted by Ohio State University showed that people who were asked to sit with their back straight rated their own strengths and abilities better, while those who were slouching were more susceptible to negative emotions and low self-esteem.
2. Crossing your arms and legs
Crossed arms are a barrier that a person uses to feel separated from the outside world, unconsciously protecting their vital organs — their lungs and their heart. In this position, we can both comfort ourselves by relieving stress through self-hugging, and we can show an active defense of our personal boundaries. In any case, closed poses eloquently indicate that a person is uncomfortable at the current moment. Crossing your legs is a more subtle way of expressing your insecurity because people often tend to ignore the lower body of the person they are speaking with. However, this body position can also indicate that a person is in an awkward situation.
3. Swinging your leg
The farther a body part is located from the brain, the less we can control it. A person tracks their facial expressions well, and we can even specifically change it to suit the situation. But we hardly pay attention to the movements of our legs. However, leg swinging is an attempt by the human psyche to compensate for a lot of stress.
4. Fidgeting
When a person is extremely nervous, the brain sends a signal saying, “Calm me down!” And the hands immediately “respond” to this request. Quick movements, touching different objects, clothes, jewelry, and hair are all forms of calming behavior that help a person feel comfortable again.
5. Hiding your hands in your pockets
In some cultures, the hand-in-pocket gesture is considered rude. But even if we put aside the questions of etiquette, this posture is most often perceived by people as a sign of isolation, a reserved demeanor, and a suggestion that a person is hiding something.
6. Covering your mouth with your hand or finger
Covering your mouth with your hand is a gesture used by children when they realize that they’ve said something superfluous. As people grow up, they gain better control over their body language, but the protection of the mouth by the hand may still be present, just in a more disguised form. When a person is afraid or doesn’t want to express their opinion, the brain sends signals to restrain spoken words at the subconscious level and the fingers reach for the lips without any control.
7. Constantly touching different parts of your body
Stroking the neck, touching the forehead, and scratching parts of the body are automatic gestures we do to relieve tension. They indicate that a person is experiencing emotional discomfort, having doubts about something, or feeling insecure.
8. Sitting on the edge of a chair
People who are nervous feel helpless and small, and the world around them seems hostile and unfriendly. Sitting on the edge of a chair may be seen as a manifestation of stiffness, where a person wants to be invisible and take up as little space as possible.
9. Coughing before saying anything
When trying to disguise the hand-over-mouth gesture, people may fake coughs before speaking. Another reason for this behavior may be that a person who is under stress has a faster heart rate, gets sweaty, and has a dry mouth, and coughing helps them to cope with a dry throat.
10. Unnatural smile
A smile can be a protective reaction of the body that helps a person try to hide their nervousness. A fake smile can be distinguished by its excessiveness when the corners of the mouth are raised too high, or when the muscles around the eyes don’t move.
11. Standing in the same position for a long time
There are 3 defensive reactions that are shown by the body in conditions where we feel threatened — to hit, to run, or to freeze. An insecure person probably can’t openly confront an enemy, and they don’t always succeed in running away, that’s why, at the moment of stress, this person may freeze and wait for the unpleasant situation to end.

Here We Go Again What do you think Donna and her friends used to make the costumes for the prom ?
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you .
When we see Donna ’ s room , you can see that the curtain on the right looks bright and happy .
So , it was the curtain that the girls used to make the clothes for themselves .
This is how the costume designers show that the girls are very creative .

It’s not just the story, the set, the characters’ motivations, and characters that matter in movies. When watching films, we need to pay attention to the meaning of the clothes the characters wear. Because the colors, fabrics, and overall looks can give us a lot of subtext when it comes to the characters’ actions.
We at Bright Side decided to check both the iconic and the newest movies where costume designers planted very interesting ideas for the most attentive viewers.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II
The costume designers did all they could to make the most loyal and attentive fans melt. Look at the clothes Harry and Neville are wearing while fighting for Hogwarts in the final film. And after that, compare their clothes to the clothes in the photo we saw in the Order of the Phoenix. The sons were dressed almost exactly like their fathers.
Brooklyn
In the film, Eilis Lacey leaves Ireland to build a career in New York. She really misses her home, which the costume designer shows through the colors. At the very beginning, the character is wearing the color green — that is associated with Ireland. And in the middle of the film, she misses home so much that she wears the colors of the national flag: green, white, and orange.
Enola Holmes
Enola is Mycroft’s and Sherlock’s sister. She is really fighting the traditions of the Victorian era, especially those that limit women. This rebellion can be seen in the clothes she wears. At the beginning of the film, she, despite the established etiquette, is riding a bicycle while wearing a big blue dress. A 16-year-old girl at that time was supposed to wear a hat, gloves, and a corset, but she doesn’t follow the rules. When Enola is in London, she needs to blend in with the crowd, so she wears “the right” dresses. At the end of the film, she returns to the more comfortable clothes that she’s used to. According to the costume designer, the silhouette of the final dress is the same as the blue dress at the beginning. This shows that Enola will never stop fighting against the oppression of women.
Forrest Gump
In Forrest Gump, we see the life of the main character through several decades. During this time, the character changes a lot but one detail of his clothes remains the same. Forrest always wears a blue checkered shirt at the beginning of every scene showing the next stage of his development as a person. And at the end of the film, his son is wearing this kind of shirt.
Mean Girls
Cady, played by Lindsay Lohan, recently moved to an American town from Africa. And she doesn’t know the rules that the teenagers at school live by, so she decides to join a group of the most popular girls. The head of the group is Regina George. She tells others what to say and what to wear. The special position of Rachel McAdams’s character is shown with a pendant with the capital letter “R.” When Cady decides to throw Regina off the pedestal and take her place, she starts to copy her style. The key detail is that Cady also starts to wear a pendant with the capital letter of her name — “C.” But Regina doesn’t notice that and has no idea about the evil plan of her “friend.”
Stardust
Septimus is the prince of Stormhold, the 7th son of the king. His name means “Seventh” in Latin. This number can be seen in the details of the character. Look at the buttons and the decoration of Roman numerals on his jacket.
Black Panther
Dora Milaje is a fictional team of women in the fictional African nation of Wakanda. The head of the team is Okoye (on the left in the picture). The costume designer of the film highlighted her special status using golden armor. All of the other women have silver armor. Even when she’s wearing regular clothes, Okoye is still a general. When she’s out of Wakanda, she still wears golden bracelets on her wrists and her neck that remind us of her armor.
Juno
A pregnant teenage girl, Juno, often visits the couple she’s going to give her child to. Juno is becoming closer to Mark. The girl finds out that she has a lot in common with the future foster father: they both love punk rock and horror films. The costume designer of the film showed the influence of the girl on Mark. After every time they meet, Mark’s clothes become progressively similar to Juno’s style. And at the end of the film, he acts like a teenager: he breaks up with his wife to make his forgotten dreams come true.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
What do you think Donna and her friends used to make the costumes for the prom? The creators don’t hide anything from you. When we see Donna’s room, you can see that the curtain on the right looks bright and happy. So, it was the curtain that the girls used to make the clothes for themselves. This is how the costume designers show that the girls are very creative.

Does your cat chill in the sink ?

Let us know , and maybe we ’ ll find an answer !

Cats are weirdos that can feel at home anywhere: from a random box to someone’s pocket. But there’s one spot that is their top favorite: a sink, where they can chill for hours. Unfortunately, we can’t ask a cat what is so special about it. However, some experts have their guesses.
Here at Bright Side we did a little research and figured out what the possible reasons are behind this quirky cat habit.
Reason № 1: To cool down
The bathtub and the sink are usually the coolest places in the house. When it’s summer or just hot in the house, many cats, especially long-haired ones, prefer to escape to a more comfortable environment. Also, the bathroom is usually the quietest place, where people don’t walk around all the time, and cats feel less disturbed there. Being too big, the bathtub isn’t as comfortable for them as a sink, where they fit perfectly.
Reason № 2: To safely control the situation
Studies showed that sheltered cats who have boxes to hide in experience less stress when they get into a new environment, compared to cats that don’t have one. It is possible that cats overall feel more protected when they hide somewhere like a box or a sink. Some experts say that a sink can serve as an observation deck for cats. They are elevated, and from there a cat can observe and control what’s going on in their territory.
Reason № 3: To get your attention
The last reason is that a cat demands your attention, so they occupy the place they know you’ll possibly need soon. This way, you will definitely notice your cat, and they will get some snuggles from you. Also, pay attention to whether you are in the habit of petting the cat when it’s in the sink. Maybe they actually acquired this habit because of you, associating being in there with the praise they receive from you.

The name of the country itself hints that the climate there is not very warm. And this is where all of its charm is hiding: it’s like the Snow Queen looking at you with her cold piercing eyes. And you can spend ages looking at this country: the waterfalls, the rocks, the volcanos, the beaches with black sand, and 8 months a year when you can see the Northern Lights. All these things make Iceland a country from a parallel reality that anyone would love to go to, at least for a little vacay.
We at Bright Side think that there should be things to fuel our dreams and this article does exactly that. Now is probably the best time to start saving for a trip to Iceland to see its beauty with your own eyes. It’s definitely worth it.
“My sister rented an apartment in the north of Iceland for Christmas, and this is her view.”
I would have a panic attack in 5 seconds flat. mrfl3tch3r / Reddit
Before 1987, every Thursday in Iceland, there were no TV broadcasts.
The people from Iceland born before 1987 joke that they were probably conceived on a Thursday. The thing is, Thursdays were the days of communication when people were supposed to pay more attention to each other. This is why the only channel in the country at the time didn’t work on Thursdays.
Footage from the Icelandic TV show Keeping up with the Kattarshians, where cats are filmed living in a tiny home
Black sand beach in Iceland
“In Iceland, you can hand-draw a map on your mail, without an address, and it will still make it to its destination.”
That’s because buildings are so far apart from each other and there are lots of distinct geographical locations, so it is easy to determine the location. The-Daily-Meme / Reddit
Blue Lagoon in Iceland is a geothermal hot spring that wasn’t open to tourists until the 1990s.
That’s insane, it simultaneously looks like the hottest and coldest place on the planet. obamium-11 / Reddit
The people in Iceland can see the Northern Lights 8 months a year.
Wow... one of the things I’d really like to see some time in my lifetime... FrayAdjacent / Reddit
“There are places in Iceland where you can be standing on the North American and European tectonic plates at the same time. This rift was from an earthquake.”
There’s a cave shaped like Yoda in Iceland. Do you see it?
“Iceland does not want to deal with your stupidity — and I think that’s beautiful.”
“Traveling within Iceland because we couldn’t go elsewhere. Found these guys sheltering themselves from the wind...”
And there’s a magnificent glacier in the background!
The lava layers behind the waterfall look like they were made by a confectioner.
Glacier rivers in Iceland
I used to have an art teacher who went to Iceland every year. He had hundreds of photos of the countryside. I have never seen anything like this country. The bizarre colors and shapes that naturally occur there are nothing more than breathtaking. JanJaapen / Reddit
A black church called the Heimaey Stave Church
I was fortunate enough to see this church in person last year. There is a spring/fountain very close nearby with some of the cleanest and tastiest water I’ve ever had. Hard to even describe. Sletzer / Reddit
The Kerið Crater in winter is unreal.
“A photo of a road and landscape I took”
Looks like wallpaper for an iPad pro. maurosauro / Reddit
I’d be happy to sell it to Apple. thomyorkeftw / Reddit
The last McDonald’s cheeseburger sold in Iceland. McDonald’s no longer exists in this country.
“Stayed in an unusual hotel near The Golden Circle in Iceland”
“This crater lake in Iceland merges with a powerful glacial river. One of the most surreal sunrises I’ve ever experienced”
This very cozy street in Iceland
This whole country is cozy. Seriously. I went there last winter and I’ve never been to a more cozy place in my life. dc-redpanda / Reddit
The view from some public restrooms in Iceland
“The puffins returned to eastern Iceland this week. I was lucky enough to see thousands of them in one spot.”
“This house my wife and I stayed at while in Iceland”
Pretty much every building in Iceland has a view as good as this, that country is just insane. Chilis1 / Reddit
A sunset snowstorm in Iceland
I have the urge to set this as my phone’s wallpaper. 3795326 / Reddit

“Once a patron ordered a Kobe beef tenderloin that cost $400 for 1 kg (2.2 pounds) and asked the chef to make cutlets out of it. He seems to have time to earn money but doesn’t have time to chew,” one chef shared on the internet. Those of us who work with people have to constantly remind ourselves that the client is always right even when his orders and wishes make our jaws drop.
We at Bright Side couldn’t simply pass by these stories and photos of internet users who were ready for anything after that one order.
“The procurement department received an order for a 6.5-mm (in diameter) drill. Turned out, they made a mistake and missed the period, so the client ended up getting a huge 65 mm (in diameter) drill.”
Let the whole world stop and help this woman!
"It was the first time I got an order for a dog’s portrait. Usually, I only paint cats but after having seen this photo, I thought, “Yep, I should accept this order!”
“Someone literally ordered every sauce that we had.”
“Once our workshop got an unusual order — a girl asked us to make a toy as per her daughter’s drawing.”
We didn’t get confused and several days later, the kid got her present. Both the child and her mother were happy. © LuckyDays / Pikabu
“One visitor ordered a pizza with no sauce and no cheese — just chopped hard-boiled egg and cilantro.”
My dad ordered a salad so he could “eat healthier.”
Designer’s workdays
“We got an order for an unusual bowl for cats.”
“I got a call from a girl who I know and she said, “Please help me. We are having a competition tomorrow and I urgently need a cake. I have already written a speech for it.”
She continued, “I am going to take it out to the competition room and say, ‘I am such a master that I can cook a cake even from pasta and grits.’ So I need a cake that would look like it was made from pasta and grits. Can you do that, please? Also, please pour something colorful on top, like confetti. It will symbolize joy and creativity.” Now I know that making similar stylish and posh cakes are the privilege of popular confectioners. Still, weird orders have their right to exist as well. © Belbenya / Pikabu
“The customer was a bit nuts, but we had turned even weirder fantasies into reality.”
