BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SCRATCH - YOU SHOW CHARACTER AND STATUS IN FRONT OF YOUR BOSS AND COLLEAGUES

Your boss doesn't like subordinates using their smartphones during a meeting. There is no trust that they are not distracted by something. "Well boss, I'm taking notes" doesn't help. That's why you all go to meetings with old-fashioned notebooks and pens.

So you sit in a meeting and scribble something in your notebook. Big mistake! Subliminal drawings reveal your thoughts, feelings and moods. You fill the sheet with strokes, little people, flowers, and the boss looks and, because he is aware of the "language", reads something that is not at all in your favor.

However, learning this language first is good for yourself. He often says things you don't know about yourself. If you understand them, you will be able to more adequately deal with your contradictory reactions in certain situations, correct your behavior towards colleagues and partners, explains Ruth Rondon, a professional analyst of handwriting from the British Institute of Graphology.

This is how the various unconscious drawings are interpreted.

  1. Personal signature. They like to scratch their autograph vain and selfish natures.

If you unconsciously sign when you are bored with the meeting or the interlocutor, it means that you are fixated on your persona.

  1. Circles. If you draw a series of circles that fit into each other or are connected in a chain, this is a sign that you are striving for empathy. It's as if you feel disconnected from the reality around you and are looking for an opportunity to fit into it.

If you just scribble circles, it shows that we need attention and friendship.

  1. Animals. They express what you are experiencing now. A wolf or a tiger is a sign that you harbor aggression within yourself. Rabbit or mouse - on a subconscious level you need protection. The lion, the king of animals, shows that at the given moment you feel superior to those around you.

Drawing cartoon characters betrays to your interlocutors that you are not a mature person, that you have unresolved problems since childhood.

When you repeatedly scribble on the paper the same animal or insect, you are suggesting that you are attributing its qualities and flaws to yourself.

  1. Stars. Little ones betray that you want to be the center of attention. But if your star has many peaks, it is a sign that you are depressed.
  2. Ships and houses. Symmetrical figures testify to your love of order and accuracy. You know very well what you want and having someone divert you from the path to the goal is very difficult.
  3. Chess field. At the given moment you are in a difficult situation or you are in trouble.

If you are constantly drawing black and white squares, it should make you think about what hidden complexes you have.

If you are in search of yourself, these doodles will tell you that you doubt your right choice.

  1. Bee cells. They betray your desire for peace and an orderly life. They may also mean a desire to start a family. Perhaps the problem lies in the reluctance to admit to yourself the existence of such a dream.
  2. Flowers, clouds, sun. Right now, you're happy, problem-free, and completely satisfied with what's going on with your work and life. As you listen, you are more likely to fantasize about something of your own or mentally relive a recent success. These drawings reveal your positive mood, good mood.
  3. Arrows. By their direction you can judge what you are fixated on. If the arrow points to the left, you are thinking about past things. The direction to the right suggests that you are focused on your future. Is it up - you are open to your interlocutors, you have no ulterior motives. If the arrows are pointing down, you are completely focused on yourself at the moment.
  4. Humans. If they are small, you feel helpless or want to neglect your duties. If they are from geometric figures, this is a sign of the instability of your emotional state.

If you draw them big ears, you suggest that you are fed up with the teacher. Small ones mean that you don't care about criticism at all.

  1. Calligraphic letters. Your conversation is very boring or you do not accept the position of your interlocutor.

If they are too twisted, they betray both your precision and pettiness.

  1. Hearts. Your mind is completely focused on your personal life. You obviously have unresolved issues that are preventing you from concentrating on your work at the moment.
  2. Stairs. They suggest your ambition, your desire to be at the center of events and to develop.

However, if the stairs are intertwined and interrupted, they may be a signal of problems and obstacles in your career growth from which you cannot see a way out.

  1. Cars, planes. Drawing a vehicle means you are looking for an escape option. It could be from the particular conversation or from your life in general at the moment.
  2. Crosses. Women draw them as ornaments, but for men they are more like outlines. In both cases, they suggest a sense of guilt arising in the current situation. In the longer term, they are a signal of a problem, of something that torments and disturbs you.
