Hummingbirds and Rabbit Holes

I'm savannah Watley and this is my hummingbirds and rabbit

holes of the human body language.

Um, so to start off, we're gonna get a basic

understanding of what non verbal communication is.

So nonverbal behavior is any behavior that a person does

that's not verbally shared with you.

Such as eye contact, posture and attitudes.

The human nonverbals are put into many different categories, such

as body movements, body positions, facial expressions, physiological symptoms in

para language.

The human body is one of them is one of

the best sources of non verbal communication because it's at

least controllable.

So because we don't have full control of our body

language, it gives us a great resource to understanding how

a person is really feeling because you can say anything

you want.

But what we're gonna uncover here in this press is

that actions speak louder than words.

So when reading people's body language, there are many tales

that go on throughout a conversation.

No matter what you're talking about, everyone shows some sort

of Q.

Throughout the conversation.

So some examples are when the body is facing and

how close a person is leaning in towards you.

Another very important tells when someone is marrying you.

So this means that if you start to cross your

arms or if you start to touch your hair, the

other person will do this as well because they have

a certain desire to please you.

Um So some basic cues are that people will lean

forward less and move their legs um and feet significantly

more when they're truthful and so truthful people will tend

to gesture away from their body while liars tend to

gesture towards themselves.

Um So again like these cues or hand gestures can

show a lot about um a person's feelings.

So next um So when reading people's body language are

many always are.

So next we're gonna be talking about people who are

psychopaths. So as you can see in the definition, psychopaths

are people who simply can't feel emotions.

So I wanted to try to understand how their body

language would be different from someone who feels emotions.

So to start off, um I just want to get

a few facts about psychopaths to really get a better

understanding of them.

So they are inevitably more intelligent than your average bad

guy or common criminal.

And approximately one of the population is thought to be

psychopathic. Um so that being said because they have such

a little remorse, they are more likely to commit very

serious and unforgivable crimes.

They have a tough time responding to punishment.

So the idea of getting caught, it's not a worry

for them.

Um Right, so because they are unable to feel emotions

growing up, they have to learn how to show these

emotions to other people without actually feeling them.

So one might start doing hand gestures on purpose and

contrast to someone who actually does it naturally um in

order to be perceived a certain way or to perceived

as normal.

Mhm. So um therapy for psychopaths is often counterproductive because

they often can just perceive the therapist or are taught

even more mannerisms on how to um I guess show

the world that they're normal.

So yeah, there's no cure, there's no medications for psychopaths

um you just kinda have to, I don't really know

go along with them.

So in conclusion these nonverbals are executed very well by

psychopaths and are often near to perfect because they have

um a long time to perfect them.

So the next topic is comfort vs stress in a

conversation. When someone is stressed in the conversation, a certain

fight or flight, fight or flight may kick in.

So if a person's feeder shifted towards the door or

away from the person speaking, this shows that someone is

trying to leave the conversation, but if they're closed off

or their arms are crossed, this may suggest that they

either disagree, disagree with the subject or simply are comfortable

with the conversation at hand.

11 way to tell if this is is if their

fists are relaxed or are clenched when their arms are

crossed over their body.

If they're relaxed, they're just comfortable and it's not really

anything to worry about.

But if their clenched, it shows disagreements.

So now on to the comfort side of conversation many

times when a person is engaged or interested in conversation,

their eyes will get bigger and they will lean towards

the person speaking.

Their arms will open and they may tilt their head

um to either side.

Um in any situation, being able to tell someone as

comfortable as stress can reveal a lot about their opinion

or attitude towards a subject being spoken spoken about and

can help a speaker no more.

Yeah, so um although a person's vocal pattern is a

vocal communication, it still can reveal a lot about someone's

feelings, so no matter what's being said, the way that

they deliver is the most important part.

So rhythm and pitch will help identify very much.

Um for example, a fast delivery can indicate impatience and

anxiety, but it can also show excitement and this all

depends on the pitch and volume at which the person

is delivering it.

Another example of this is, is when someone is speaking

slow, it can show a sign of contend nous and

occasional boredom.

Again, it all depends on how it's delivered, so if

I say a sentence, like I can't believe that happened,

it shows I'm excited, engaged and engaged, but if I

deliver, like I can't believe that happened, it shows sadness

and regret.

So it really just depends on the pitch about how

a person delivers the sentence.

So nervous mannerisms such as excessive, excessive throat clearing or

us and comes or fillers in the conversation are huge,

tells of nervous or unsure quality.

So just because someone can feel a sentence with our

arms doesn't necessarily mean that they're lying, it just kind

of means that they're unsure about what they're talking about

about or they're insecure with what they're talking about.

So one of the most weight, One of the most

telling parts of the human body is the human eyes.

Um Humans cannot resist the urge to look at or

glance at something they desire.

So if someone is glancing are often if someone is

glancing often or looking at something, they desire it.

Um Looking up into the right during conversation and indicates

a lie that has been told while looking up into

the left indicates the person telling the truth.

The reason for this is that people look up into

the look up into the right when using their imagination

to conduct a story or to come up with something.

Um um and when they're looking to the left there,

trying to recall an actual memory.

So the way that a person looks when trying to

recall a story or something that happened can reveal a

lot. one indicator of a person's opinion is their peoples,

they dilate and focus on something or they dilate when

whenever they're focused on something that they're interested in.

But often pupils are affected by lighting and environment and

they cannot be a immediate tell if someone is um

desiring something.

Another thing is blinking rate, so when someone's blinking rate

increases, it means that they're thinking more or are more

stressed in some place.

In some cases, increased blinking rate indicates lying when indicator

of a person's opinion.

Yeah, So sorry.

Um It indicates a lying because they're trying to think

and their heart races increasing, so they're blinking rate does

as well.

Um So my last topic is negative body language and

facial expressions during a conversation.

So examples of this are clenched fists in folded folded

arms, just like we talked about earlier, folding your arms

across your body may not necessarily be negative, but clenched

fists whenever they're folded, definitely does show um negative body

language. Rolling eyes can show disagreement with something or just

annoyance with what's being said, shrugs and shuffles show unsure

decisions, decisions.

So when someone's fidgeting with your hands or um tapping

something, it often shows that they're nervous or they're unsure

about this.

Um Something that's about to happen.

So that can be a huge tell um frowning, You're

scrolling, glaring blankness, nearing and pouting are all examples of

disagreement or unsure in conversations.

So um just the way that a person's face kind

of falls and their mouth region can really reveal a

lot. So if it's up and it's smiling and a

person is smiling during the conversation when they're speaking.

That um is a good thing.

But if they're just kind of mumbling or they're not

really completing sentences, it can show um unsure nous or

insecurities. Um And that is the end of my hummingbirds

and rabbit holes research project.

Um This is my works cited page and thank you
