In modern times, a handshake is a sign of welcome. Open palms indicate openness, while touching palms indicate becoming one. Shaking hands has become a way for people to express their feelings. Whether it is the first time meeting or reuniting after a long separation, people like to express friendship and greetings by shaking hands. It is said that the average person shakes hands 15,000 times in their lifetime. The etiquette of shaking hands originated in medieval Europe. Although the form is simple, it has many rules. For example, young people, juniors, men, and subordinates should not extend their hands actively. Only when elders, respected people, or ladies extend their hands can they respond and shake hands. And everyone shakes hands differently. Several key points of handshake <br />Several important points of handshake are initiative, time, strength, thumb, and above. In other words, they believe that if you want to observe a person's character from a handshake, then you need to see how long the person shakes hands, how much force they use, etc. (1) The initiative of shaking hands: In formal situations, according to convention, the party who extends the hand first is the "dominant party". However, some people who are impatient and rush to get things done are also accustomed to extending their arms from a long distance, and they can't wait to run up to the other person and shake hands with him. It can be seen that this kind of person is accustomed to the style of being bossy in daily life. In his view, everything should evolve according to his own ideas. In contrast, there are those who are not proactive when shaking hands with others. This type of people are meticulous, do not show their emotions on their faces, and are more reserved in their behavior and actions. (2) The length of a handshake. People usually set the length of a handshake at 3 seconds. If a handshake lasts longer than 3 seconds, it means that the person has a soft personality, is not resolute and decisive, and tends to hesitate. Of course, this type of people also have their own advantages, that is, they are careful and cautious and never fight a battle without confidence. If the handshake is just a light touch, it means that the person is in a hurry and tends to make decisions quickly without giving it a second thought. The advantage of this type of people is that they act decisively and never drag their feet. (3) Grip strength Generally speaking, people who shake hands with greater force and at a faster frequency are hardliners who can easily impose their own thoughts and opinions on others. They have a strong desire to control. On the contrary, those who shake hands cautiously and at a slower frequency are often considerate, sensitive and sentimental by nature, and will often suppress some minor unpleasantness for a long time. Generally speaking, people who like to squeeze other people's hands tend to do things in a hurry and rarely listen to other people's opinions. However, this approach of not suppressing their true feelings releases the pressure in their hearts. In fact, those who shake hands with others gently for fear of hurting the other person are more dangerous. (4) The thumb when shaking hands Before shaking hands with someone, we can observe the other person's hand, and the focus of observation is the thumb. In Western culture, the thumb has the most representative meaning. I don't know if you have noticed that when some people shake hands with others, their thumbs and four fingers form a 90° angle, while for others, their thumbs appear to be relatively inverted. The former type of people seem full of energy and enthusiasm, while the latter type of people appear very tired and listless. If your thumb hangs listlessly towards your index finger when you shake hands with someone, it will be easy for the other person to sense that you are empty and insecure. The forms of handshake <br />People's handshakes are usually in the following forms, and different handshakes can show different personalities: 1. When doing a bone-breaking handshake, the person grabs the other person's palm tightly and squeezes it hard, as if they want to crush the other person's hand to pieces, causing the other person unbearable pain. Such people are energetic, confident, and tend to be arbitrary. Most of them are arrogant and like to show off their strength and competitiveness. But his organizational and leadership abilities are outstanding. A strong handshake is often used by extroverts. They are enthusiastic, cheerful, highly confident, have a strong desire for power and control, and always want to dominate others. Studies have shown that people with a firm handshake are often able to win the favor of others, but only if it is done appropriately and in moderation. If you use too much force and cause the other person unbearable pain, it will inevitably make him unhappy. 2. Gentle and respectful type: shake hands with the other party with the palm facing up or to the upper left. This type of person is often weak in character, in a passive and disadvantaged position, and is relatively humble, approachable, and not stubborn. He or she is relatively respectful and admiring of others, and may even be somewhat afraid of them. The handshake is weak and frail, which is often adopted by introverts. They are cowardly, shy and sensitive. They are often at a disadvantage in interpersonal relationships and are willing to give up control. Of course, some people with special jobs, such as surgeons, artists, or people with arthritis, may also adopt a gentle handshake. Therefore, it cannot be generalized. 3. Calm and focused type: Use appropriate strength, steady movements, and look at the other person. People of this type are strong and frank, responsible and reliable, thoughtful and good at reasoning, and can often provide constructive advice to others. Whenever difficulties arise, he can always quickly come up with feasible solutions and is trusted by others. 4. The casual handshake is a light touch. This type of people are easy-going and open-minded, never paranoid, quite free and easy in games, humble and follow the crowd. Or when you shake hands with him, you will find that his fingers are weak and powerless, and his hand cannot be tightly grasped. Such people are mostly pessimistic. 5. Using both hands means that while holding the right hand, you habitually use your left hand to hold the other person's back of the hand, forearm, upper arm or shoulder. The higher the grip, the more friendly the person appears. This type of person is warm and warm, honest and reliable, trusts others, has a good heart, is most open with friends, and hopes to use the opportunity of a handshake to convey his consideration and goodwill to the other party. His emotions are shown on his face and his likes and dislikes are clear. It should be noted that this way of handshake is only applicable between friends with a certain emotional foundation. 6. The long-lasting handshake type: When shaking hands, the person holds the other person for a long time until the other person finishes speaking. Maybe he is interested in you, otherwise he is a good rapper. This type of person is emotionally rich, enjoys making friends, and once they establish a friendship, they are loyal. Of course, if the other party holds your hand tightly before the negotiation, it may be that he is testing you, hoping to gain the upper hand in momentum and thus take the lead in the subsequent negotiations. 7. When doing a pinching finger handshake, you only use your fingers to grasp the other person without your palms touching the other person. This type of person has a calm yet sensitive personality and is easily excited. However, he is kind-hearted and compassionate. When women shake hands with men, they often adopt this method to show reserve and stability. However, there are obvious problems with this way of shaking hands: if the other person is a feminist, such a handshake will cause the other person to feel disgusted and think that they are looked down upon; if such a handshake is done between people of the same gender, it will seem a bit cold and unfamiliar; if it is done by a distinguished person, it is intended to show off one's own dignity. 8. When shaking hands, hold the other person tightly and shake up and down continuously. Such people are extremely optimistic and full of hope for life. Because of their positivity and enthusiasm, they often become the center of attention and are loved and admired by others. But at the same time, it is easy to leave people with a bad impression of being hypocritical and attention-seeking, which is discouraging. 9. The handshake avoidance type: Some people don’t want to shake hands with others from the bottom of their hearts. Most of them are introverted, shy, conservative, and very cautious, but they treat others very sincerely. They generally don't give their feelings easily, but once they establish a friendship, they will be loyal to it. This is true for both friendship and love. 10. Sweating palms type: Sweating palms when shaking hands is mostly due to excessive nervousness, lack of confidence or excitement, which leads to increased blood pressure and pulse, and abnormal sweat gland secretion. For example, people often have sweaty palms when they lie. However, it should also be noted that 5% of the world's population suffers from hyperhidrosis of the palms. The reason why their palms sweat is not due to emotional fluctuations, but is determined by genetic genes. 11. When doing a light handshake, you quickly withdraw your hand as soon as you touch the other person, as if you are just going through the motions, giving people a feeling of lack of sincerity. However, this type of handshake occurs more often between people of the opposite sex. It is possible that the party making the invitation lacks confidence and is not sure whether the other party will respond, so this quick decision approach is adopted to avoid an embarrassing situation due to excessive nervousness. 12. The arm-pulling type is to pull the other person's hand to your side and hold it. Such people are often overly humble, submissive and self-deprecating in front of others, and lack the spirit of independence and courage to act. 13. The equal type means that the palm of the hand extended during the handshake is facing left. This type of person is more friendly and may be an equal competitor who follows the rules of the game. 14. The dead fish type is when shaking hands, you extend a hand that has no strength or texture and does not show any positive information. This kind of person is either cowardly by nature or cold and ruthless towards others, and is negative and arrogant in his dealings with others. 15. Controlling type: Hold the other person's hand with your palm facing down or to the lower left. This type of person wants to express his or her superior position, and is generally characterized by clear and crisp speech, decisive actions, and high self-confidence. Once a decision is made, it is difficult to change the viewpoint and the style of work is not very democratic. 16. Indecisive type: This type of people often create funny and embarrassing situations. That's when you extend your hand, but his hand is still in your pocket, and he doesn't extend his hand until you awkwardly pull it back. It is obvious that such people lack judgment. 17. Conservative type: When shaking hands, this type of person is reluctant to stretch his arms, his elbows are bent at right angles, and his hands are close to the body, fully demonstrating his cautious and conservative character. 18. The compulsive person who keeps shaking hands without asking why shows his inner anxiety and inferiority. 19. The sloppy type treats handshakes as a routine, which shows that this person is insincere, does things carelessly and is untrustworthy. The correct way to shake hands <br />In the complex business interpersonal relationships, handshakes and unusual gestures can be a direct basis for judging the other person's character. So, what is the best way to shake hands? Geoffrey Beatty, director of the Department of Psychology at the University of Manchester in the UK, believes that the perfect way to shake hands is to use a dry right hand, shake it three times with moderate force, naturally and unpretentiously, and the time should be controlled within 2 to 3 seconds. In addition, pay attention to eye contact when shaking hands and keep smiling to show your sincerity. If it is a handshake between men, then using a little force can show that you are energetic, sunny and confident; if the other party is a woman, then this quick process needs to be much gentler.
