I am especially interested in hearing from anyone whose brain scans show brain stem damage,... |

| I never had problems expressing happy feelings with the person who matters most in my life. He always brought out the best in me, just being with him. I really miss him. |

| Because they see it as a disability. They don't really think it has strengths when it does. It can cause impairments but also give us special talents and a way to view the world differently. I at times am overloaded by the disadvantages but I try to focus on the positives. But there will always be ... |

| Body language is communication shorthand. It would take FOREVER if we had to communicate everything we wished to communicate, including all subtleties, via just words.

| I disagree. Body language may, generally, be extremely informative and important. Let me give you an example: Police officers are called to a house by a concerned neighbour. He suspects that the woman's abusive ex-husband is back, and asks the police to come by and check. The police knocks on the d... |

| I agree it is stupid it is not a language in my opinion as it is more animalistic. all this sending out signals. A complete waste of time unless you are a monkey. Monkeys use body language but they can't speak Humans do not have that excuse for this simian form of behaviour.:arrow: I might be incli... |
