Do NT's find it odd that we don't use Body Language.

Post Reply New Topic

I never use body langauage intentionally only when I am trying to emulate another NT do I succeed in using the wrong body lanaguage such as being conscious of another NT mind reading me or just trying to ovecome my social restrictions
Now I find the next evalaution very important and one of a phenomenon.
I never use body language, I behave in a manner that excludes everyone else, I don't express myself so that sombody else would interpret it as communication, I behave as natural as myself and I don't put on an act. I consider myself very mature and certainly above all NT's I have encountered including the police and anyone associated with management or high flyers.
Now this is the important point, I find that NT's consider my unreadable body language or pure genuine as frightening or as a threat.
Does this mean that all NT's are fake and what I see is a behaviour triggered by selfconcsiousness or expression on a non verbal scale?
Yes in must mean this exactly.

I'm like a book without a cover or words, I travelled to London over the weekend watching some people observing me as some superior confident person who seems is to be an enigma, just undertanding this makes me slightly secure.
In the past I was very consious of whether other people would interpret my mind through my eyes or body langauge, my body langauge would have been trigerred through that anxiety.
Knowing that I naturally don't use as well as the un ability to distinguish other NT body language is one that needs more observation.

Short awnser: Yes, they do.

Long awnser: NTs subconciously use body language to for example make each other feel accepted during the conversation. When they listen, they will usually stand straight, and when they talk, they will bend slightly forward. In a conversation NTs also imitate each other's body language to a lesser extent.

Only recently have I realized that I may be coming across as intimidating, or inaccessible (which isn't a bad thing). I once asked someone if they thought I was attractive, and they said that I was more dignified looking than pretty. I didn't exactly mind that, being an older lady, but again, it must be the way I present. Oh, and my eyeglasses, as well.
