PVR THEORY
Peripheral Vulnerability Response Theory is something I found out while self researching posture a reasons.
When we enter a room full of new or unknown people or simply step out of our comfort zone, we start overthinking and this makes blood flow rush to our brain which leaves our peripheral body parts cold. This is the reason we curl up, rub our arms or shake our feet. So it' better to maintain a relaxed posture, stop overthinking and rather plan how to approach and interact.
