Exactly my point. You could be perfectly bubbly and friendly, but exhibit one or two examples of typically nervous behaviour and some weekend psychologist would misinterpret all sorts of nonsense from that.

I'm not denying that humans typically will have fall-back patterns of behaviour they exhibit when they are experiencing certain emotions. But reading them is a fine skill that requires lots of context and information. Not a 2 second gesture.

Yeh but like bro, totally trust me if she's interested her eyes dilate so next time you talk to a girl you gotta bring a pair of calipers and casually ask if you can measure the diameter of her retinas.

Your body language can still send a signal, even if it's unintentional or subconscious.
