Tamar, this is really interesting. Researchers are finding that gestures (you know, we move our hands when we talk) can really express a lot of information that is not conveyed in speech alone.
Sometimes the hands tell a very different story than the voice does. I think it's interesting that you even observed it yourself. Most people are very unconscious of this, but when you get a chance to observe someone explaining something, take a special look at their hands. People might use their hands to organize a disorganized explanation. They might use their hands to say "I have no idea what I'm talking about" even as their voice sounds confident. In your case, your hands acted as a beacon of your true feelings.
It's funny, sometimes our hands are smarter than our words are...
