HAND DISPLAYS OF LOW CONFIDENCE OR STRESS
A person who is in doubt (a lesser degree of lowered confidence) or under low stress will only slightly rub the palms of his hands together.
People often pacify anxiety or nervousness by stroking our fingers across the palm or rubbing our hands together.
Eye-Blink / Eye-Flutter Behavior
Our blink rate increases when we are aroused, troubled, nervous, or concerned, and it returns to normal when we are relaxed. A series of rapid eye blinks may reflect an inner struggle. For instance, we might also do so if we are having trouble expressing ourselves in a conversation. Eyelid flutter is very much indicative of a struggle either with our performance or with the delivery or acceptance of information. Perhaps more than any other actor, British actor Hugh Grant uses eyelid flutter to communicate that he is befuddled, nonplussed, struggling, or otherwise in trouble.
