Well, if you're trying to pay attention to another person, yes
@JohnnyNoir do you think we naturally react to it subconsciously, or it's something we learn to see?

@OogieBoogie I believe it's a learned thing.
@JohnnyNoir I think we have an inate 'understanding' of basic kinesenics form birth - like maybe the core 10 - 20% of major physical communication, ie: smiles, aggressive stances, etc.
But yeah....I think there's whole other layers that we can be oblivious to unless we know to look for them.

@OogieBoogie well, count me among the oblivious then
@JohnnyNoir 😂
I thought it might be fun to learn ....but NO, it's NOT😠.
It's awful !
It's so complicated.
And it's not just about individual expressions, you really need to read them in clusters - like sentences .... ugh. I gave up 😂
