Most of us are probably fairly comfortable with ourselves and our relationships. They may not always go perfectly, but at least we tend to have control over situations that we should have control over.
There are also many ways that we may express ourselves and the affection that we have for our significant other. One of those is the way that we hold hands.
Handholding is not only something that helps us to express our feelings toward someone, it also says a lot about us as individuals. In fact, the way that you hold hands can tell you more about yourself than you may have ever thought possible.
Look down through this page and choose the different type of handholding techniques that you use most frequently. You can then learn what it has to say about you as a person.
1. For those who hold hands this way, you are affectionate with your significant other but not necessarily passionate. It is a way of also expressing dominance, as the person on top is the more dominant individual.
Generally speaking, you would find a man’s hand on top, even if the woman is taller than the man. That isn’t always the case, which is why this may say something unique about you.
2. If you have interlocked fingers, you are likely very comfortable with the level of intimacy you have with the other person. It’s part of a caring and loving relationship.
When you hold somebody’s hand like this, you are willing to be vulnerable in the relationship that you have. It also shows that you need one another to complete each other.
3. If you hold hands with just a few fingers, there may be a number of issues both good and bad. You tend to be independent people with your own likes and dislikes, including many that are outside of the relationship.
Even though you enjoy spending time together, you also like being alone at times. You want to be part of a strong union but you don’t want to lose your individuality.
4. If you find yourself walking hand-in-hand in hand like this, it probably means that you are taking your relationship to the next level. It may also be something negative because it could indicate that you are being overly possessive.
5. Many people hold hands this way and they may even do so in public situations, such as a celebrity that is attending an event. Often, this means that the person holding on is not very secure with their place in the relationship.
6. If you tend to pull the hand of the other person, it likely means that you are not on the same level emotionally. You are often trying to hurry the other person along to make decisions that you have already made.
7. Sometimes, handholding is avoided because the other person does not want to be around you if at all possible. They aren’t necessarily ready to end the relationship, but it is probably heading in that direction.
