The Shoulder Shrug shows submission
The Shoulder Shrug is also a good example of a
universal gesture that is used to show that a person doesn't know or
doesn’t understand what you are saying. It's a multiple gesture that has
three main parts: exposed palms to show nothing is being concealed in
the hands, hunched shoulders to protect the throat from attack and
raised brow which is a universal, sub-missive greeting.

body language ’sentence‚ says something like, “I don’t like what you’re
saying”, “I disagree” or “I’m holding back negative feelings”.

Read Gestures in Context
All gestures should be considered in the context in which
they occur. If, for example, someone was sitting at a bus terminal with
his arms and legs tightly crossed and chin down and it was a cold
winter's day, it would most likely mean that he was cold, not defensive.
