Your handshake can reveal your true nature and character. From your handshaking habits, it is not difficult to know your true personality.
Using both hands
If a person uses both hands to shake yours and covers the back of your hand with his or her own, it means that you accept their dominance, but are open to discussion. This type of handshake is an indirect way of saying “let’s talk” and shows that you are honest and open to communication. On the other hand, if the second hand is placed on top of the person’s hand, it may indicate a lack of trust, such as a form of self-defense.
Dominant Handshake
This handshake that turns the palm toward the ground shows dominance. This habit can make you look aggressive. It’s like trying to give a massage by saying you’re the boss and don’t care what the other person thinks. Turning your hand slightly downward is a sign that you like to have control over others.
A submissive handshake
If you have a habit of turning your palm upward, this may indicate a submissive form of handshake. This is a reflex of shy or easily intimidated people. If you shake your hand in this way, it is a sign that you are not confident and can be easily overpowered. If you let the other person’s thumb rest on the top of your hand, it indicates that you are under their control.
Dead Fish Handshake
If you have a limp, drooping handshake like a dead fish, it means that you lack commitment and are indifferent, even weak. It shows that you can easily submit to others. However, in some cultures such as in African countries, a light handshake is a polite way to greet someone. On the other hand, a firm handshake may be considered offensive.
Carrot handshake
This handshake where shaking the person’s hand between your fingers indicates that you are a passive person. This one can clearly send the message that you are totally indifferent. You don’t even bother to show your intentions and character. This handshake can reveal that you can easily be pushed around however, it can also mean that you don’t like physical contact.
