Status: offline 		I love people watching and can pass many a happy hour doing so.
When I'm old and put into a nursing home, I want to have a bedroom window looking over a busy street!!

I tend to notice body language, especially with people I don't know so well. Its interesting to see if you can get them to mirror your own body language.
I would say that its possibly a subconscious way of judging a situation but I'm normally too busy deciding if I like them to worry about them liking me.

i watch people talk, seeing if their eyes match the conviction to which they speak. Talking on the phone is so strange to me, because one misses all the nonverbal components of the conversation.

Status: offline 		Yes watching another person's eyes is quite interesting though I find I also listen to what the person is saying in conjunction with the manner in which they make any statement. I find that listening to a person's speech patterns reveals a lot more of who there are that they themselves don't realize.

Quite true. I'm sure I do things in that manner that I don't even realize.

Of course, if the person has tourette's, it kind of goes out of the window. Found that out myself, and boy, did it throw me for a loop.

Status: offline 		Not everyone reads the same, body language experts like to assume things but it obviously relates to upbringing and that's unique for each individual.

I think there is a lot of misinformation floating about as to what certain signs mean.
