How do you know if someone is frustrated? Look for these signs:
- Making facial expressions of amazement or disagreement, such as shaking the head or rolling the eyes. The person may also fidget, or move around in a restless or nervous manner.
- Looking at other people to see if anyone else's body language or facial expressions reveal their disagreement with the speaker.
- Whispering or writing notes to another person. This may indicate that the frustrated person is checking on his or her position or trying to gather support for a confrontation. This can apply to both types of conflict.
- Staring, possibly in an intimidating way, at the speaker or potential target of confrontation.
