Stick Figure Communication: Assertive vs. Defensive Body Language #1889989 (License: Personal Use)

The image features two hand-drawn stick figures on a white background: the left figure (brown) stands upright with one arm extended forward in a pointing gesture, suggesting direction, authority, or accusation; the right figure (purple) adopts a low, wide stance with arms bent inward, conveying defensiveness, readiness, or vulnerability. Their contrasting postures visually communicate interpersonal dynamics such as conflict, instruction, or negotiation without facial detail or context.

This image is commonly used in educational materials, psychology articles, UX design guides, or presentations about nonverbal communication, conflict resolution, or character posture in storytelling. It serves users seeking visual metaphors for emotional states or social interaction models.
