17 Touching your face
According to body language expert Robert Phipps, putting your hands on your face doesn’t make others believe that you’re being particularly thoughtful—it communicates that you’re trying to hide from the interaction.

If you want to appear more assertive and confident, keep your hands as far away from your face as possible.
