RE: Awkward Things People Do In Social Situations (Part I)

Haha sure.
Folding our arms is seen as a defensive posture though - but it sure feels quite comfortable! You'll notice that when the other person does so, you'll feel like they're disagreeing with your words. Have you ever experienced that?
I guess the most harmless way would be to 'stand at ease'.
Back to our school days!

I agree. Folding your arms and also putting your hands in pockets are both considered defensive postures. haha yeah, I have experience that too :D

I don't like standing in the 'stand at ease' position. I usually have one hand over the other and listen intently.

Yep.
The 'stand at ease' does feel very formal doesn't it haha! One hand over the other is good; better than crossing them!

Yeah it does! Yeah that’s what most people do :)
