2. They counterbalance
According to different body language experts, if someone is acting much friendlier than usual, it might be an indication that something is off. Someone might attempt to overcompensate if they’re discovered doing something wrong or if they’re unsure of what to do next. Be cautious and trust your instincts!
In an effort to cover the unpleasant things they said, they might try to show a friendly attitude towards you. It can be either some nice words or they might extend a handshake or even a hug.
On the other hand, it’s important to keep in mind that they might not necessarily be speaking ill of you. For instance, the reason why they might be acting friendlier than normal is that they were telling someone else that they were worried or concerned about you. Well, this one is cute!
