As a kid I never made eye contact and people always said it was weird and made me untrustworthy. So naturally I started to stare down everybody and nowadays people find me creepy. But at least I'm trustworthy, so...

Having professionals read usernames gives me life. As a side note, I'm studying ASL Interpreting right now, and facial expressions/body positions are extremely important when trying to get across meanings! They're basically a part of ASL's grammar rules. For example, raised eyebrows can indicate that what was just signed was a question, and a neutral face can indicate that something was a statement. So if someone signs YOU LIKE HER, eyebrows up = Do you like her? ; eyebrows neutral = You like her. That's just a basic example and it can get so much more complex but I thought it was interesting 😊

The fact that so many people are SO easy to intimidate with eye contact, makes it incredibly easy to be taken seriously when you say "no" to something. It works literally everywhere! When someone is trying to pressure you into changing your answer, stare directly into one of their pupils, and after about ten seconds, you lean forward, widen your eyes slightly, and repeat the word "no." Then immediately disengage and ignore them.

I do security and I do hold a very strong gaze but if people don’t want to look at me I know there are anxiety issues and other things so I’ve never forced it. It is usually a way to imply dominance without verbally demeaning someone. But any authority that then requires it verbally telling you to look at them just gets rid of that and they are likely a toxic authority with no respect for others.

You can't get convicted just because it body language, it is only taken as a part of a pattern, and most often if only used by police for something like explaining why they felt something was weird, and investigated further, and found evidence of a crime. No one is getting convicted just because they seemed kind of shifty, they still need evidence of a crime.

Usually body language experts will use some sort of “base line” - observe the subject somehow in a normal environment with low pressure. I like to pick at my face and back in boredom- which could also be perceived as nervous self soothing behavior. So if someone first observed me and learned it was something I did when bored- it would not be seen as a guilty or nervous habit.

Big part of my job is counseling. Being a counselor in the pandemic, with me and my client having to wear masks, made it almost impossible for me to do my job properly - at least how I'd think it's done properly. For a lot of my clients having to wear a mask was a blessing because they were able to hide and dissapear - as Joe said - right in front of me. People that generally try to hide their feelings or motivation, likely because it makes them feel save, are hard to "read" anyway but that time really sucked. It always felt like just being able to do just half of what we could've accomplished otherwise. And some of my clients I've never even seen in full display in that time or afterwards. I know a ton of stuff about those peoples lives but never really got to know them.

I'm quite surprised, since I've never had a problem with eye contact. When someone is talking to me, I watch them, especially if it's someone in a position of authority (like a teacher), so they know I'm paying attention. Funny thing is (and I've noticed this before, just never made the connection), if the teacher is reprimanding me for something I did wrong, often after the first few sentences, they back off, cool down, and are more reasonable. I never knew what it was, and now I realize I may have been accidentally intimidating them. lol

At school (especially when I was younger), I had a reputation of being the teacher's pet, because whenever I or a group of friends got in trouble, the teacher would be more reasonable. And if we needed to ask a favor of the teacher, I would be sent to ask. One other trick (that I didn't realize at the time) was to never look down, never look guilty, never try to shrink away and disappear, and always speak up for yourself. Maybe I'm some sort of sociopath lol, idk, but I was never afraid to look the angry teacher in the eye, and in return, they saw me as a human that makes mistakes, instead of a naughty child that won't learn. Basically, just don't appear guilty or scared and you'll be fine.

You have to get to know the teacher a bit, as there will always be the ones who think you're looking at you because you know the answer, but nearly every time, if I look a teacher directly in the eye after they ask, they'll often call on someone else.

It's not rude or weird to say what you are thinking, as long as you have a good vanacular, you actually end miscommunications before they start by being direct yet polite. It is rude to try to communicate through solely body language, like people on the Spectrum may not understand body language or implied language. You have to be direct or you will cause confusion.

I was in the military for a long time and was trained to look through someone. If I'm standing I sometimes without thinking snap to a parade rest or at easy posture . I don't do it that often anymore but sometimes it happens. This is usually when speaking with someone with authority. I guess in a way I am trying to assert myself without being threating. It also helps me ground myself and keep my emotions in check. A way to show I'm not intimidated and I'm not pushing back neither. Some military habits die hard and keeping military bearing is one of those habits. I don't think civilians can relate. I wonder if training for military, police or other similar careers have a lasting effect on body language.

Often times we got people who where combative & uncooperative I would be called into the room to calm people.to get them to shower, talk about what upset them whatever. I had success in this area because I never forced them to do anything even with my language. I sat down calmly lowered my head smiled let them speak etc. My question is do you think people often don't sincerely try to engage and that is the problem with communication in combative stressful situations? I think listening is important to body language not just humouring the situation. People know when you are really sincerely paying them attention.

This brings to mind something I'd pondered back when Trump was president. He did a lot of talking with his hands, particularly doing a certain gesture where he brought both hands together in front of him. He did this a lot. Now, there are also plenty of clips of Pelosi doing her weird hand gesturing where she seems to have to emphasize every point with a waving hand. If we could get some legit analysis on the behaviors of political leaders, I think more people would realize we're all being thoroughly boondoggled by all of those fools.

I’ve always had immense trouble with eye contact, to the point that my current therapist seriously suspected I was autistic when I first started going to him. I’ve always heard that lack of eye contact is a sign of lying so I’ve always had this obscure fear that if for whatever reason I’m ever interrogated by a detective I’d just be straight up arrested 😂

Same, I too would always had trouble with maintaining eye contact when talking to others. Thought I would come across as untrustworthy especially going to counseling, though there's still room for growth for learning body language and accepting my socially awkwardness...♡

the lip reading is a real thing for me. Being ever so slightly hard of hearing I never realized how much I depended on reading lips to help compensate for what I couldn't hear. It's been annoying, to say the least, having to ask everyone to repeat themselves constantly.

Same! ( not Deaf/HoH ) I didn’t realize how much I relied on lip reading to keep me focused on someone when speaking. Idk why but I just start to zone out sometimes when I don’t have the option to read their lips, sometimes even when reading their lips •_•

Yes!! I have suuuper bad vision so when I remove my glasses, people's faces are blurry and I can't see their expressions and their lips. I always feel like I can't hear them properly and my parents would laugh at me when I would tell them that. Now with the masks, it makes so much sense! Even with great hearing, we still lip-read and use body language to understand!

@@xatiter That's not exactly how it works though; When someone is lying, they're nervous / stressed. What a behaviorist does to detect the lie is detect their stress level. So if a person wasn't nervous at all when they were lying it would be almost impossible to catch them; On the other hand, if a person were telling the truth but was scared of being wrongly convicted, they'd be nervous and would be thought of lying. It's like he himself said: The best way to detect a lie is to present it with truth :P. Also, there is no single sign or body language that automatically confirms a person is lying
