Nice to know that as an always anxious autistic person, my knee bobbing and other weird or apparently suspicious quirks do not make me automatically guilty 😂
*but also I take in environmental factors and observing every detail to help come a conclusion and even so offer choices when presenting with an issue.
I’m autistic. I went to a Halloween party two days ago where we played a murder mystery game. We had to figure out who the “killer” is and a lot of people were suspicious of me but it wasn’t me lol. I’m pretty sure it was misinterpretation of my body language. (Im not offended or anything. Of all the situations I can find myself in because of my autism, this is one of the harmless and silly ones)
This was so fun! Thank you! You should totally do a Q&A with your subscribers, we may have a better understanding than most google searches and I think the discussion would be so interesting!
Logan, you need to pleaseeeee analyze the Chicken Shop date of Amelia Dimoldenberg and Andrew Garfield. I've found myself, being unsure of how to evaluate it, and need your evaluation haha!
Trough body language reading I found out that my husband was cheating No I did not suddenly think of it when he looked at me wrong way that i didn’t like I observed his every word and every bodily move for a month, constantly thinking and making up excuses why he would be acting the way he did till end of the day I found messages that approved my observations
I was one of the people who asked in the comments about body language and neurodivergent people. I was curious because I'm autistic and I don't look at people or look in their eyes when I'm when I'm comfortable, and I stim all the time just to focus on what someone is saying. And I get aggitated by overlapping sounds 6 bright lights. How would you establish a body language assessment when these actions are not in alignment with typical body languahe
Logan explains this at the beginning of the video. Behavioral analysts often study a specific person to discover their baseline before dissecting specific nonverbal communication. Everyone has specific ways of reacting and behaving that are common and natural for them, things that are second nature. If he were to analyze you, he'd realize that you habitually don't make eye contact, or say, you often sat with your arms or legs crossed. Instead of those things being something that you did at specific moments in a conversation to portray distrust or discomfort, he'd know that those are things that you do regularly, regardless of the circumstances. Like he said, if you were to apply every rule in a black and white way, people wouldn't have behavioral quirks unique to them - bouncing a leg would 100% always mean anxiety or boredom, folded arms would always mean being closed-off and distrusting, lack of eye contact would always mean someone is lying - none of that is true. They give an idea of what they could mean, but they can't be accurate without gathering a baseline for a specific person.
@@SunBloomSketch0831 That's part of the problem with criminal investigations. Polygraph exams aren't admissible in court because they don't actually work as lie detectors so much as tension detectors, but generalized body language is used like a horoscope in interrogations with perceived suspects, so the following coverage will follow the prosecution's narrative. Which, unless it all traces back to the chokehold superwholock had on the internet through the 2010s, may be why interest seems to coincide with true crime viewership.
I feel like often, for autistic people, we just say what we mean. There is no need to try to read our body language or see if there is something deeper. We might sound like we’re being dishonest because we overexplain things.
One of my biggest grievances with body language analasys is the sheer amount of people who take it as either fact or fiction. I butted heads with a guy through the Depp/Heard trial who blankly dismissed all body language to the point where I wondered if he accepted nodding as a valid response. Everybody analyze body language throughout every interaction with others - it's part of how we communicate. And people who have known eachother for years and genuinely communicated can pick up on eachothers nonverbal cues subconsciously. It's real, but it can't - as of now - be quantified and simplified down to general rules.
♥️ I’d love you and your wife to do a collaboration of talking about Meghan Markle’s body language. Watching several videos. Is Meghan hands on! Too much! Is she mothering Harry! What do you both think about “the claw”. Do you think the body language is due to her having anxiety! Or is the body language a manipulation of control! I’d love to know your thoughts 💭
