I feel kinda bad because someone complimented my smile this morning and said that it was actually how she recognized me from the day before because it was so bright and genuine but in all reality I've known about diffrent smiles (among other characteristics that define personality and maturity) and have been masking emotions so long that I immediately force a genuine looking fake smile when meeting someone new or if I need to appear more formal as this allows me to give off the illusion of maturity and age as someone my age (mid teens) would usually not be taken as seriously as someone in their mid to late 20s and upon revealing my true age people are visibly taken aback by the new revelation and many all of a sudden believe that I am inferior to them unlike prior to telling them my age when they actually looked to me with and for respect as they believed I was one of their peers thankfully there are a few with an open mind who actaully find the illusion very impressive and welcome me as an equal because of my mental maturity and not because of my true age. The reason why I do this is because I have experienced situations where acting my age or behaving as I should has negatively impacted many aspects of my life including but not limited to my mental and physical health. When I was 12-13 I was being medicated for depression but the doctor viewed me as a child and so ignored anything I said and instead based the prescriptions off of what my parents said (even though they saw very little of me as I would have school all day then immediately go home and continue my school work in my room until I finally went to bed) this in turn lead to me taking the highest dosage allowed, for someone my age at the time, of medicine that only ever increased my symptoms and after about a year of not being listened to I decided to take matters into my own hands and threaten to stop taking everything all together until he could get past the fact that I was a child and treat me as a real patient and until then it was obvious to me that he was not cut out to be a pediatric doctor as he is less mature than his own patients. He did not appreciate being called out and quit treating me on the spot and recently I discovered that not long after that he retired. Even though I am still being treated to this day for issues surrounding depression I still refuse to take any medications directly affecting my depression out of fear that I will be put through the same sort of treatment as before so I suppose you could say that in a way it was a scaring but also much needed experience as even though it may terrify me to try treatments again it has also taught me to not allow my age to be a restriction when it comes to well earned and deserved respect I just have to prove that I deserve it and earn it through assertion sometimes.

I am awful at reading body language and people in general, but on multiple occasions I've had gut feelings and/or made a joke about someone to either the person in question or to a friend in a light-hearted manner but with dark humour, and it's turned out I predicted something awful about them (if you're from the UK, it's custom to joke with your mates calling them a nonce - and I have accidentally predicted someone being one on more than one occasion.
I can somewhat read when not to trust someone or when they've done an awful thing/are a bad person, but I can't tell what they've done specifically. I've had incidents where I lost friends because I didn't trust someone, and eventually it's come out that my gut instinct to not like them and avoid them was right and my friends have confirmed it. It's like David's power from Unbreakable without being able to tell exactly what it is that they've done.

Re: posture. I am a sloucher. I always have been. I sit comfortably, whenever I can. Right now, I'm in my soft armchair, leaning back with my feet up. It's just a kind of informality and a preference for comfort. Women are pushed to be ornaments and to take up as little space as possible. Some of us resist that. We also get unwanted looks, starting in puberty, if we stand up straight or sit up straight. So we bend inward, to keep our bodies private. It has made me round-shouldered. But I think the benefits outweigh the costs. Whenever I have tried out a new habit of improving my posture, it brought me attention I didn't like.

the ironic part is that when I stopped focusing on knowing how to read people because I felt, this is wrong, and unnatural. --that I became significantly better at reading people through gut feeling alone. I still think it's wrong and unnatural, and that if I want to get a read on people I should just ask.
The bright side? I usually only get negative gut feelings on folk if I know, they're not a good person. Really helped me separate the good from the bad and be left with an intimate and much more tight-knitted friend group. The folk who matter; the folk I'd like to keep around in the far future.

Keep in mind with posture that some people, like me, have back problems and just stand a little funny because their back hurts. Also, some people who look down when they walk, like me, are not upset or shy, they are simply clumsy. These are all important but keep in mind that everyone varies and some things they do aren't textbook actions and may have a completely different meaning.

When you just want someone to look at you with a nice thought and not with a rude thought. I just want someone to say something different to me other that When I first met you I thought you were rude or When I saw you, you look like you were someone who bullied people. It gets annoying and I know I have a rbf but it still hurts when someone says thos things

I have the ability to just feel emotions that other people are feeling its not always a good thing because I dont get it true that most of the time I just look at someone and I know theyre having a bad day so I secretly wish them good luck and it doesnt always help but its good to know I tried

I do not necessarily like walking with my head down however due to a severe car wreck I have to look down and watch where I'm going. My balance is not as good as it was and I will trip more easily. I like to walk at a good stride however the body will no longer allow it.

I once knew a con man (I had a lot of strange acquaintances back then, and remember asking him one day how he selected his mark, how did he know who to target and who to avoid. I'll never forget his reply: There's no mystery. People look exactly like they are.

As an INFP, im great at reading people without even realising. Sometimes it was fine, but too much, very exhausting mentally and physically. Also as an empath, its worse if I did not control them.

. Don't suppose you have a video focused more on the different types of smiles? I'd love to see what mine classifies as, given that it is not listed in the description of smiles in this video.

I look at my feet frequently as I walk to avoid tripping over uneven sidewalks, which are common in Queens, NYC. I suppose I could be mistaken for having low self esteem for that?

Im already naturally good at reading people, but Im really harsh with what they think about me, so like when they are slightly annoyed by me, I will make it a big deal in my mind

con artists try to paint a false story, if the person is pushing a story of how good, skilled intelligent or so on with no evidence of the facts likely a scam cover story

Most of these I already do strictly as a trauma response and learning to silently get a feel for those around to make sure no one seems threatening.
