Standing Too Close This just makes people feel uncomfortable. Most people
consider the 4 square feet of space immediately surrounding their body to be personal space. Cross this invisible boundary with good friends and intimate mates only.

Keep Your Hands Out Of Your Pockets
Standing with your hands in your pockets may send several signals to those around you, probably none of them what you intend. Unless you are trying to look less confident, as if you are holding yourself back, you are bored, or you are hiding something, then take your hands out of your pockets.

unconsciously to avoid confrontation.

Lean Way Back or Slouch / Turn Your Back On The Audience
Turning your back to the audience will make you lose your audience that very minute.
Leaning too far back while engaged in conversation puts off a negative signal, saying you are too confident in yourself.
Slouching down in your chair tells others that you are not interested in what is going on.
