Do you believe in the ''nonverbal world''?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you believe people can pick up on another persons aura? Like say ''victim energy'' where the persons body language and general vibe makes them a repeated target for bullies because they exude low self confidence.

Do you believe we give off a lot more of who we are through these nonverbal cues than we think?

I believe in body language. It’s how animals speak. Talk is cheap

I believe we do give off that sort of "vibe."

Vibes, energy, aura, something.
Yes, I think it's there, and I think it's a completely different thing than body language.
I've wanted to ask for a bit now about gut feelings, or first impressions of people based on this sort of thing. And other people's thoughts and experiences with it. Like how sometimes I just instantly know that I can't trust someone, or instantly know that they're awesome people. I'm pretty good at it, which is a bit odd to think about because I'm pretty oblivious to any kind of subtlety. But when I make a snap judgement about someone like that, I'm usually right.
I also wonder how much it coincides with selective mutism, why some people just shut my brain off and others bring out my motor mouth.

Just body language is incredibly powerful. I had a friend who would "heavy up" to prepare for a serious interview. He would just pretend to himself that his body was made of something very dense, and that if he didn't move in a careful, deliberate way, he might crack the floor or break a chair. He got a tremendous boost in respect.
I also knew a young woman who often walked through a very rough neighbourhood very late at night. She would, of course, watch for any sketchy men. If she saw one, she wouldn't tuck her head in and try to hurry by, she'd go right up to the first idler she saw, and tell him she was worried about being there, and ask he'd walk her home. They all behaved as perfect gentlemen.
Bullies are choosy. They fear any appearance of confidence - maybe someone knows Karate, or the cops.
I once walked right past a gangster's bodyguard, because I didn't look at all worried, and didn't know why he was there. I hear he got in big trouble.
A friend had a dog that had been known to back his guests into a corner if she had bad memories about them, and was generally quick to bark and slow to wag. I was the only one who didn't even raise her ruff.
There was a young local farmer who was more upset by traffic tickets than the rest. Then they started picking on him for minor infractions. Things got worse until two people died.

I've always been able to communicate pretty effectively without using words. And I definitely pick up on vibes.

Yes.

I do believe most people can do it. But I never could do it myself, though I read books about it.

The title of the thread is absurd.

Most human communication is nonverbal. Everyone knows that. And most nonverbal communication has nothing to do with psychic powers and with auras. Its like asking if you "believe in air". Of course I "believe" in its existence.

Psychic powers and auras may, or may not, exist. If they exist then yes, then that would be a part of "nonverbal communication". But that's just one controversial subset of nonverbal communication.you're mistakenly combining two subjects.

You can pick up a "vibe" from someone about them ( a gay vibe, or a victim vibe, or whatever). What you think of as "psychic" and as undefineable "vibe" is usually just a whole lot of non psychic data hitting you from normal sensory data that gets processed by you instantly and subconsciously. Nothing supernatural.

Yes.

I also believe there's a possible way to bypass superficial sociocultural biased body language and/or actor's "mask", and read something more 'internal'.
And more things beyond the 'act' or visible physics -- like actually sensing emotional energies and intent without the social visual and auditory aids that humans rely.

yes, I believe that people can send off vibes that can make them a target, just like when you don't smile or say hello you come off as a snob.
