What does it mean in body language when someone always has their hands in their pockets?

  1. Not friendly. Not approachable. This person keeps to himself/herself. or My hands are cold or ugly.
  2. They are relaxed with themselves and their surroundings. Their shoulders hurt. They are pointing to their genitals unconciously.
  3. Insecurity!
  4. I put my hands in my pockets alot. To me it feels better than having my hands dangling there.
  5. Evolutionarily speaking, it signals vunerability. It is analogous to a dogs submissive display. Notice someone, or yourself next time you are in a hiarchial situation. I find social science explanations of human behavior to be superficial and proximate. I need to look at ultimate evolutionary causation.
  6. It's like when people fidgit. It's because they're nervous or feel less self consious when doing it.
  7. Maybe its shyness or nervousness. Or maybe boredom and wanting to be somewhere else. Maybe its a security thing to.
  8. depends on the person cuz my hands are in my pocket 90%of the time but well to me i feel like i am tryen to hide stuff from people and that is when i really have my hands there i sont think alot of pepole do this or even think about this. so like i sayed it depends on the person.
  9. what if they're actually very confident and have high self esteem, and they think its a cool image to have hands in pockets. like some sort of james dean sort of thing.
  10. insecurity ... carelessness ... or hopelessness ...
