A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Yeah body language and mannerisms can tell a lot about a person. What's that quote? "You say a lot when you aren't saying anything"?
The quote I always heard was "Actions speak louder than words". I wonder if they mean something slightly different though.
They way I can see it is your quote "You say a lot when you aren't saying anything" feels very passive, as in the way you carry yourself on the day to day.
Whereas "Actions speak louder than words" is more active (has that word in it alredy) as in how you treat and carry yourself around others.
Both can be seen as a way to observe the social queues that aren't completely verbal to see what kind of person someone is. Just something to ponder I guess.
