The man was asked about power poses. He takes off his glasses. There is a reason for this. I learned this in sales- Be relatable; Remove glasses, have nothing to figure out on your face; No Tattoos, diet if you can.... express good energy. He did this to bring down the tone of his response to a question asked by a person who is trying to utilize the "POWER STANCE". What an interesting insight he just displayed for anyone keen enough to pick up on it. Mad respect for Joe.

Maybe showing the act of removing glasses can bring attention to people to listen more, but saying that covering face with glasses makes a difference in sales is kinda a reach. In many fields, people assume higher intelligence because person is wearing glasses. Psychology studies show that glasses reinforced the notion that the person wearing them was more honest, trustworthy and even innocent.

THANK YOU. I'm often accused of being closed off and distant because I cross my arms a lot. Everything described here makes sense, but in addition, I have shoulder issues and letting my arms hang down can be painful. To be fair, I am a very shy person and do struggle with interpersonal connection, but I do care about people a lot and I want to make them as comfortable as possible. It's always made me sad that arm crossing has this bad reputation because I fear that it makes people less comfortable with me.

@Smittenhamster

Жыл бұрын

My interpretation would be that by signalling "I have to comfort myself around you" by crossing your arms, you tell the person you are not comfortable with them, hence people prefer not seeing it. It would be interesting to see how people reacted if you tell them "Oh, btw I don't mean to come off as distant but my shoulders just hurt". Would they be relieved? Because I imagine even if you're coupling crossed arms with a friendly conversation it would still send "mixed signals" to people who don't know you.

I unconsciously smirk when people tell me bad news, it has come up many times, to the point that I have to be very conscious to keep a neutral face or make a sad expression in that moment, waiting any day now for someone to tell me that I'm faking my concern or something.

God i felt like a terrible person when my coworker told me his baby was in the hospital, and I kept smirking and smiling as we had that whole convo. But honestly I think they can actually see the concern and sadness in our eyes.

2:20 Smirking could be a "coping mechanism" too. A lot of people smirk when they feel awkward, embarrassed,, disappointed, emotionally hurt, and upset, etc. Also you have to observe someone's baseline too. Some people just like to smirk in daily life. And it's normal for them to do so. ------ One good example I could think of is Johnny Deep. He smirks often in daily life, and he uses smirks to cover his anxiety. You might see him keep smirking even when he was in court talking about his experiences of being abused. But it doesn't mean he is absolutely lying.

It doesn’t mean anything. All this is fake; science studies have shown body language reading to be less than 50% accurate. Worse than a guess, no human is good at reading nonverbal communication. None of this translates universally to other countries with different cultures where body language is naturally completely different. This is all based off of now debunked science that was sold to the US agencies post 9/11 to streamline profiling people and you can google and see it hasn’t helped the TSA prevent anything.

I appreciate the way you talk about it here, because it does annoy me a bit when people talk very matter of factly about what behaviors you use if you’re guilty of something etc, because those same behaviors are used when you’re anxious, and being anxious, nervous or having an anxiety reaction doesn’t necessarily mean you’re hiding something or that you’re guilty if something.

Indeed. The ability to write things down allows MANY people the ability to communicate when they can't otherwise because society at large still thinks that speech is superior to every other form of communication - whether that's referring to non-speaking autistic people, those with a physical or intellectual disability, the Deaf community, those with anxiety disorders or issues such as situational mutism, or anyone else who uses signed languages, AACs, etc. There are SO many ways to communicate and phonocentrism is just ableism by any other name.
