A rarely discussed body language signal is seen during Sarah Paulson's recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
During the 1:02 - 1:03, as Ms. Paulson wants to speak, she curls up her fingers in what many would call a fist-like gesture. This is a body language signal of a momentary pent-up desire to speak - fighting against the urge to interrupt.
Once the speaking begins - the fingers unfurl ...
... and the hand then (typically) begins a palm-down and forward gesture ("Illustrator") as is seen here.
Too often people will misinterpret (or not even see) nonverbal cues. Next time, don't miss this one - for it is saying, "It's my turn to speak".
