+Psych2GoTv Thanks for a primer on body language. As an autist, I've no innate capability to read body language, unlike the otherwise neurotypical balance o' the population.
0: 25(1) Recognize their normal: Viz, routine physical patterns.
0: 55(2) Focus on where their eyes go: E. g. sweeping the room, glancing at others' hands and/or feet, &c. ; blink rate; (delta) pupil size
2: 06(3) Notice their posture: Head up/down, arm positions, leg positions when sitting, &c.
2: 45(4) What their lips are doing: Chewing indicates anxiety; slight open, comfort; quivering, fear; compression, uneasiness; pursing, disapproval; &c.
3: 22(5) What they wear: E. g. arrangement of furnishings and accessories as a function of identity claim
3: 54(6) Particular facial expressions: Clenched jaw indicates tension; lip pursing, contempt; frown lines.

Here's the thing, I want to flirt with someone, but I wanna do it really really subtly so they don't know I have a crush on them, how do I do that? I don't want them to look at these videos and take the hint. I just want to flirt to please myself, because they're someone I can't have but I want to and at the same time I don't want them to know that I'm attracted to them because that will ruin our friendship. Idk how to explain lol.
(P. s. don't tell my girlfriend)

Thank you very much for this topic! I am really interested in body language & have studied about this in recent years, so I always appreciate it if there's more!
Btw, about the no. 5. I, for example, often wear armour when I go outside so the wolves wouldn't be attracted to me. To put it shortly, I don't always wear things that reflected my true self for safety. I wonder how is it from the psychological POV?

Just wanted to ask something, cuz I am obsessing over my crush and I think he likes me back. A while ago I was sad and started to cry silently in class, but nobody noticed except for him, and he tried to make me smile. He always talks to me and he makes a lot of jokes while we chat/talk. Everybody says we look good together, even teachers! Do you think he likes me back? Thanks to anybody who will answer! :)

so. the thing is that i noticed everything in this video is exactly how he acts around me but the problem is that my friends (who are close enough with him) told me that he's a player, and he flirts with one of my friend and my other friend from other class, they told me he's targeting me and those other girls too it kinda breaks my heart tho, but who and what should i trust? :(

It's simple observation, people manifest hundreds of signs or tells themselves self-consciously. Once you know what to look for, reading those tells and filling in the blank becomes second nature. - Joji Saiga (Psycho Pass)
I feel at some point that everyone should learn that subtle movements to major ones will manifest so much about us and we can learn from it.

I've been talking to this one girl in my theatre group and she is absolutely ADORABLE! But the thing is, they do all of these things, and yet we mostly talk in person. We only text here and there. She's busy quite a bit of the time outside of theatre so it's understandable. But idk whether she sees me as just a friend, or she wants me to make a move first.

If you really want to know the emotional atmosphere of any social function, do not read the body language of the person talking to you (although you can more or less know what they are thinking or feeling if you are adept enough, read the body language of those around you, or those in the same room with you.

i need to rely on audio cues for body language due to being legally and almost completely blind. if it doesn't make a sound like tapping a finger/foot or shuffling or something then it's going sky high over my head. changes in tone or pauses between words are more reliable ways for me to get a read on someone.

Good think I have borderline pitch black eyes. they can't tell if my pupils are dilated or not, it's hard for me to tell when I look into a mirror, the facial expression thing is also kind of tricky with me because its like when I try to put on a neutral face I've been told I apparently look grumpy.

After a year of getting to know her, and watching these videos religiously like it was the last day on Earth, I can finally say that she does, in fact, like me back. We're dating now, and it's the happiest I've been in forever. Thank you Psych. I can finally relax.

I love your voice. It is very calming. However, as a non-native English speaker, I find it difficult to understand because of the lack of pitch in some parts. Don't get me wrong, I can listen to your voice all day long. It's soothing. Maybe it is a technical matter.

about the rapid blinking. The video says if someone blinks alot while talking, they might be uncomfortable. But what does it mean when someone just has silent eye contact with you, blinks alot and really fast and then smiles/grins about it? whats that

Most of them make sense, but since I'm someone who doesn't really share their social life, when interacting I can have trouble with looking at who's talking and one of my stims is biting my own lips. Guess I'm a damn puzzle to read lol

Its not easy to read somebodys body language.
I totally disagree. I can read a person/room very easily. If Im getting bad vibes from someone or I can sense their irritation, you best believe Im going to avoid them at all cost

When I have crush on someone I start to observe every single detail about them and their behaviour, for some time I think that maybe they behave special towards me, then I realise it's their normal, then I give up. Repeat.

Very important about pupil size, solving a puzzle or thinking really hard about, say a mathematicsl problem also causes pupils to dilate. from Daniel Kahnemans book Thinking fast and slow
