All three options are accurate messages that the body may send when speaking with someone you do not like. Avoiding sustained eye contact is a common way people signal discomfort or disinterest. Displaying high bodily tension and rigidity can indicate discomfort or a desire to create a literal distance from the person. Exhibiting indirect body orientations, such as turning away or crossing legs away from the person, can also communicate discomfort or a lack of engagement.
