Iv never been taught this but iv mastered it already? What's your thoughts??I dunno where to put this :P
Have you ever mastered something with out being taught it?
I understand body language really really really well and I'm 15 and iv never been taught it
Me and my girlfriend were messing around and I accidentally said something about an ex gf.
I told her that she was being defensive and she kept denying it so I told her everything she had done and this is what she done and this is what I said to her:
(btw we were not arguing we were playing and I said sorry for what I said straight away.)
" shoulders back and raised (defensive posture or anxiety or uncomftable but from the situation there was no need to be uncomftable so defensiveness was the only one.) raised eyebrows (not believing what I was saying as I was trying to get myself out the situation, shock could also be a factor but I had said it, then a Minuite later you started to show this.) palmes down (primates have the palmes down as dominance and palms up as submitting, yours were down indicting you were not ready to accept my applogies.) a slightly higher pitched voice (I don't understand this as deeper voices are more powerful and dominat but I understand in the situation you were simply playing.) smiling and laugh (again you were playing around but I believe you were showing these emotions to reassure me it's okay to tell the truth so you could get the information you wanted.)"
I'm only 15 and I quit school last year iv never watched any videos or read anything about this so do you think I understand it well even tho iv never looked at it? Thanks -

Understanding body language is a gift you acquire from being non-autistic. -

Re: Iv never been taught this but iv mastered it already? What's your thoughts??I'm pretty sure he's saying everyone can read body language as a natural technique as long as you don't have autism(Original post by Banana mouse)

Re: Iv never been taught this but iv mastered it already? What's your thoughts??General body language reading is something we can all (autism etc aside) do, through experience and empathy
People can be taught a higher level of nuance but nothing in the OP was of this level
Oh, and, your comment about primates is clearly a learnt fact that you have been taught/read
