| Body Language |
Body language often says more than our words say to others around us. One of the things that I got from all the years of abuse I went through, was the ability to read body language without thinking much about it. Often, I can see much more in what someone is really saying, rather than just the words they are speaking.
Years ago, I remember telling employees that worked under me to not lie because if they did, I would figure it out. I pick up on very subtle clues in people and when I see their body language in addition to hearing the words, I can tell almost instantly that they are lying. I have see Judge Judy do this on TV as well where she can tell in an instant if someone is lying or not. My friends get shocked at me because sometimes if I am watching someone being interviewed on TV, I'll shout, "they're lying" without thinking what I am saying.
Body language goes further than this though in really shedding light as to what a person is thinking as they speak. Sometimes people just don't have confidence in the words they speak and that really shows or they might not believe what they are saying but they are trying to be convincing. Sometimes people hide from the real truth inside and not necessarily intentionally, but their body language and their words don't match up.
