Talk to me, don't speak.

Body Language. I just did a bit of research, and new evidence suggests that up to 93% of our communication is nonverbal. Click Here to see some facts. Every gesture a person makes is a reflection of something going on in their mind. Some people think I'm good at knowing what other people think, and sure that could be true, but it is because I have picked up on some of this stuff.

Is it always conscious? No. Sometimes I don't need to consciously think about reading people's movements or expressions. I've done it so often that now it's just instinctive. I can usually tell what someone is feeling by looking at them. Some better than other. The more familiar with a person's feature and expressions I am, the easier it becomes.

My question is "Why?!" Why did I pick this up and why was it so important that it is second nature now? Was I just born this way? Is it my personality?? I don't know. I'm going to ponder on it and get back to you.
