I worked with a Bulgarian-born woman who told me that while on her first trip back to her homeland after living in the U.S. for years, she forgot to switch to her traditional head-nod rules and accidently gave wrong directions to a person on the street in Sofia who asked directions.

[@Blackwingk]

For years, I have been told by my friends that I have "belligerent" body language, that even my walk is like I'm walking to a fight. People eventually realise that's how I am normally, but, man, I hate that I give off that vibe.

[@DestructionGlitter]

I was married to a Bulgarian person for 10 years and spent a lot of time with their Bulgarian family. I was told - and saw with my own eyes - that the switched yes-no head gestures aren't as popular anymore. Younger generations have mostly switched to the """universal""" way of gesturing yes and no, while older people still instinctively use the switched version.

[@lnt305]

The weirdest thing to me is that the meaning of one raised eyebrow 🤨 is universally understood even though a significant portion of the population is incapable of doing it

[@Mordalon]

I wouldn’t necessarily it has a single understood meaning. Depending on context and other motions of the facial features, it can mean curiosity, skepticism, or an invitation.

[@arthurmachabee3606]

I cheat by lowering the other eyebrow ;)

[@pedrova8058]

hahahah xD

[@KasumiRINA]

Paul Ekman wrote about this, most people naturally cannot raise eyebrows voluntarily, so the raised eyebrows (symmetrically) either come naturally with emotions (no longer than a second or a few) or are one of the things actors learn when, well, acting. Specifically, Woody Allen with his / \ face, also you cannot unsee Natalie Portman being horrible with raising her brows out of place in Star Wars and other movies. Only assymetrical expression that is natural is disgust, almost every other asymmetric face people make is just something they make and it means nothing if you're trying to read their emotions as the whole expression is fake. The Rock doesn't feel anything specific when raising an eyebrow, he just does it like a gesture, that's it.

[@BOABModels]

Talking of dog's eyebrows, Gromit, the claymation dog, was designed with a prominent eyebrow ridge which would be used to show his emotions as he would be mute in the 'Walace and Gromit' films.

I would love to see a follow up to this video but instead talk about neurodivergent or autistic body language and the difference between neurodivergent and neurotypical body language. Many autistic people have their own body language that is very individualized to communicate their own thoughts and feelings. For example, I have different movements when I am stimming in a positive manner or a negative manner.

[@mervefedai]

In Turkey, yes and no head movements are generally same as other countries. There is one gesture which involves a single nod of the head up but not down indicates a "no". So, I think you might have confused with that in the video.

[@ceymiss1]

Also in Turkey crossing your fingers 🤞 is fine unless you cross your thumb under your index finger in a fist 👊 That’s what’s specifically vulgar.

[@BadGirlFan]

@@ceymiss1 In Sweden crossing your fingers is something kids do, usually behind their back or against their leg, because as long as your fingers are crossed it's ok to lie 😆 The English expression of crossing your fingers for someone as in wishing them luck is instead done by making a fist with the thumb on the inside (it's literally called "holding my thumbs for you").

As someone on the spectrum, this aspect of socializing growing up can be frustrating. You say how we don’t go around like poker players always hiding tells, but in some environments where you need to be around a lot of unfamiliar people and want to make connections, it can feel this way.

[@swedneck]

@@youremakingprogress144 One important thing i really want more people to learn about is that studies have found that it's not autistic people who are bad at communicating, it just breaks down between the two groups! Autistic people communicate just fine if not better between each other than neurotypical people do.

[@Mordalon]

@@WayraHyena That was honestly one of the silver linings during peak Covid. Didn't have to worry about facial expressions when talking to people at work. The only downside was being a bearded person in Texas heat.

[@watcher314159]

Here's the secret. We Autistic folk are actually better at reading body language (see for instance Crompton, 2020). Neurotypicals are ridiculously overconfident in their ability to read body language, but when misunderstandings happen as a result of it they're usually able to adapt and move on and don't even notice how bad the mistakes they keep making are. We on the other hand can't be overconfident because we take longer to adapt (and take fewer but much longer turns in conversation as a consequence). There's a whole bunch more on this topic under the aegis of the Double Empathy Problem that I'm sure you'll find as enlightening as I did.

[@gabitamiravideos]

I always thought peace signs were universal and was moved by pictures of soldiers using it, until I realized that for them it was the “V” of victory. I suppose Dr. Brozowzky knows it, but looking straight at the eyes when speaking to someone is not a universal sign of being trustworthy. In some cultures it’s s a gesture of defiance, and trustworthy people tend to look away or lower the eyes (specially if of a lower status).

[@charliekufs9939]

I thought peace signs were made with the palm facing outward and victory signs signs were made with the back of the hand facing outward.

[@4AlokR]

Famously, there is a picture of Winston Churchill making the victory sign with the palm inward without knowing it's other meaning. After being made fun of for that, he was careful about doing it palm out.

[@purplepedantry]

And this is further complicated by neurodivergence! :D I give off so many signals that I cannot be bothered to check because people somehow have some secret language that is never taught directly :(

[@lolly9804]

Yeah I can't be bothered remembering things like nodding my head, or using eye contact/smiling when talking to people. Used to get so many customer complaints for being "rude"

[@Respectable_Username]

Most of this video was fantastic! However, the part about detecting lies based upon body language has repeatedly been proven to be false. The supposed "tells" for lying are usually more just tells for somebody being stressed, and it can result in a lot of problems if people accuse others for lying because they're just stressed about being interrogated. And that's not to mention to autistic community for whom a lot of body language cues don't come naturally, and so some people mistake a lack of eye contact or glancing away as a sign of lying when it's in reality just a discomfort with eye contact in general, or a not grokking of the "correct" level of eye contact for a situation. Again, it can be very dangerous to have people assume things about the trustworthiness of another based solely upon body language, especially in official situations like interactions with the justice system!

[@skyden24195]

The implementation of flat, open hand directing/pointing is also the standard practice for employees at Disney theme parks since the parks are so often visited by people of various cultures from around the world.

[@lmeeken]

It's worth acknowledging that there's a TON of ableist baggage that comes along with treating body language norms as common-sense or universal. Neurodivergent folks, for example, can face additional discrimination from cops who watch too much bad TV and think they can spot an untrustworthy liar because, say, someone is fidgeting or avoiding eye contact. Rather than taking courses on how to conform to these norms, we might be better served if we learn not to make judgements on people or their intentions based on the ways their bodies move (or don't).

[@MKisFeelinSpicy]

Yup, even neurotypical people can vary in why they do a certain bit of body language but they still talk about it like it's a bunch of hard and fast rules. Police in general also need a lot more training than they actually get, at least in the US, including this.

[@HMJ66]

​@@MKisFeelinSpicyit's also worth noting that most psychologists have completely disavowed Eckman's work and that body language analysis has been pretty much confirmed to be pseudoscientific nonsense. It's just modern day phrenology

[@MKisFeelinSpicy]

@@HMJ66 Yeah, I don't remember hearing anything about him other than his basic facial expression work when I was getting my degree in psychology. I got interested in deception research at the time and found most studies supported people discovering lies because they had evidence/facts proving the person lied, not because of body language. This was like 10 years ago, though, so I dunno where the research is today. Not my field any more.

[@tb9360]

Dr. Brozovsky, as a counterpoint to the theory and research done by Paul Ekman, "How emotions are made" by Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett makes a persuading counter argument. Her research is so detailed that I will not attempt to describe it in a youtube comment. I highly recommend the book I love the show❤️ I always give you high praise for the annual survey, I need more episodes!!!!

[@yarnpenguin]

Honestly, "microexpression and body language analysis" sometimes seems vaguely sinister to me as an autistic person. Sure, there are things I do that are "standard"--when I raise one eyebrow, yeah, I'm confused or disbelieving. But I cross my arms because my body doesn't always feel right to me and that includes the simple fact of having arms, or because I'm trying to stop myself from stimming/fidgeting, and I unfortunately often don't have pockets; I'm not feeling defensive, not being closed off. I don't make eye contact and look around a lot because eye contact is painful for me and I find it easier to listen to people by not looking at them.

[@cuckoobrain7999]

Body language analysis has little to no scientific proof and is proven to be pseudoscience :)

[@WayraHyena]

Same. I cross my arms because it's comfy and for some reason I apparently come by it honestly on my dad's side of the family? We all just cross our arms as a way of relaxing our shoulders and to slow down fidgeting.

[@yarnpenguin]

@@WayraHyena Holy cow, I just did a little experiment and I did not realise that crossing my arms also relaxes my shoulders, which is where I carry roughly 92.5% of my tension. But, yes, if pockets aren't an option, just crossing my arms is so much more comfortable than having them dangling uselessly at my sides.

[@MKisFeelinSpicy]

Same. Sometimes I deliberately avoid crossing my arms because I know how neurotypical people perceive it, but sometimes I just can't be bothered to review every single bit of body language I'm giving off or I just really need my arms crossed.

[@yarnpenguin]

@@MKisFeelinSpicy Yep. I hear you. I know the argument is always "we can't change the entire world just for autistic people" but maybe the neurotypicals can just... unclench a little and stop assuming the worst all the time re: silly things like body language. It'd be good for them.

[@roxyamused]

I wanted to echo others with asd and other neurodivergence that makes body language harder for us to read, but also autistic people can give off the "wrong" or less socially acceptable body "language" (because often we do something that isn't really trying to give off any signals or feel any particular kind of way). This sort of thing can alienate us whether we realize we're going it or not. Like the tone of our voice or if our facial expressions look meaner than we mean. Being Autistic is quite exhausting because we're often trying to mask ourselves because of this. Also, I'm not 100% sure that the facial expression research Paul Eckman and Maureen O'Sullivan is all that well done. There's a lot of critique of their work, and they kinda sit on an evolutionary psychology type thing that is just pseudoscience.

[@4AlokR]

Even neurotypical people vary in their body language. Some people just make ignorant assumptions.

A lot of people have already commented on this, but for people who are neurodivergent, body language can be very confusing and complicated, not just because you fail to pick up on cues, but you don't understand what cues you're giving, which lead to a lot of misunderstandings. As a kid, adults would often think I was lying when I was actually telling the truth, because of a combination of memory issues, over-explaining, and nervous body language when I tried to explain myself. I carried this fear in to adulthood and am often afraid that people will assume I'm lying because of the way I communicate. I think it might be interesting if you did a follow up video about how body language causes miscommunication, and how that effects ND people.
