Body language is completely unique to every single individual person and the science of body language is almost if not completely unreliable and if I have to listen to one more person claim they can “read” me by my body language I’m gonna flip.
MULTIPLE people in my life have told me they can “tell” I’m “self conscious” because I look at my feet when I walk and they say it like they want me to open up about some social insecurities, like I have some wall they’re about to break down and we’ll have a moment
And I tell them the same truth every single time:
As a kid we had two MASSIVE Holly trees in the backyard and my dad and my uncle, both well meaning but perhaps poor planners, said “yes a great place for a swing set is directly beneath those.”
So they built it there and the issue is that entire section of yard was a Minefield of dried Holly leaves with one final mission before they became dirt which was to Stab themselves into a child’s foot
And being that my siblings and I had some feral rage aversion to wearing shoes, we took to running to the swings on our tiptoes, staring at the ground for the leaves
And to this DAY I still look at the ground when I walk out of habit formed by a decade of that
And NO body language guide and NO BBC Sherlock wannabe would EVER source that
The war in Afghanistan doesn't seem to phase you, because it's not happening to you.
The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Palestine doesn't seem to phase you, because it's not happening to you.
The genocide of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang doesn't seem to phase you because it's not happening to you.
The genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Burma doesn't seem to phase you because it's not happening to you.
The farmer's protests in India doesn't seem to phase you, because it's not happening to you.
By choosing no side, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. You have chosen to do what is easy, instead of what is right. Just remember that when your children and grandchildren read and learn about the ethnic cleansing and genocides that we are currently witness to, make sure to let them know that you were there when it happened.
“I saw the red flags and warning signs, I heard the victims beg and plead for the world to not turn a blind eye against the injustices they face. I saw the children become orphans, I saw mothers bury their daughters. But it didn't phase me because it wasn't happening to me.”
Luck is on my side, I know it.

“Americans believe in big portions! That’s so crazy.” Look at this European getting scammed into paying for 100 calories worth of food. Fool. Idiot. You wish you could have this 16 ounce Big Gulp and this serving of rice I will eat off for three days but you can’t. Cope and seethe.
