SLEEVE PULL

The fingers tug at the sleeve of the opposite arm, lengthening or adjusting it.

MEANS

Mild anxiety or a self-comforting behaviour. The body finds a small task for the hands.

CONTEXT

A subtle and easily missed signal. Common in interviews and on first dates. The hands need somewhere to go and the sleeve becomes the destination.

NOT

Fixing a genuine clothing problem.
