I have always perceived myself as a very "verbal" person. I love to talk, explain, discuss. And I thought that only words can convey something. But at some point, everything began to change. I began to notice body language. And first of all - in myself.

When I am interested in something or someone, I slightly turn my body, tilt my head to the side. When I am angry, I purse my lips. When I am nervous, I snap my fingers. And when something scares me, no matter what, I raise my shoulders and literally press them to my ears.

It's like a new system of signals that I had previously simply ignored.

Once I went to a cafe where I didn't know anyone and watched people. A girl was sitting opposite a guy and kept looking down, although she was smiling. A man at the next table was lying about something - you could tell by the way he touched his nose. And a child who was pretending not to eat a candy gave himself away with his body language.

And I became interested: how many situations do we read unconsciously? How many times have we felt that "something is wrong" - although the person didn't say anything?

Sometimes I want to speak not with words. Just look. Or, on the contrary, to be understood without phrases. I noticed that real care is in the movement of the hand when someone straightens your collar. Real irritation is in a look away. Real interest is in a slightly slowed inhale.

The body never lies. This is my new truth.
