48. Body Language & Emotional Desensitization
So body language: how does it work? How do you interpret it? How do you FIX it if you don’t project proper body language in appropriate situations? These are all questions we had in this episode. We aren’t experts but we went through these questions and tried to make sense of it. Kelly has been told many times that she is intimidating and she attributes part of that to her body language. When put into social or uncomfortable situations her reaction is to retreat inwards and that comes off as being mean, bitchy or standoffish which is not her intention at all. Is body language a reflection of your true feelings? The battle between what’s in your head being reflected by your body vs how you actually want to be seen is something that a lot of people struggle with and maybe we need to be a little more kind when getting to know people; some may need a bit more time to warm up. Other people, like Brittany, are bubbly and approachable and people feel that she is available to talk but sometimes finds herself in a situation where she doesn’t want to talk to someone and purposely using her body language to show how she is feeling doesn’t work. The contrast is crazy but the suffering is the same. Patience and communication is key. ARE YOU THESE PEOPLE? If so, you are not alone. We don’t know the psychology behind body language interpretation but what we do know is that it’s complicated.
Another topic discussed was our emotional reaction to certain things. We talk about if emotional desensitization is a strategy to help your mental health or turn the problem into avoidance and eventually a no-care mentality. Is it better to attack a problem head on or suppress your emotions on the topic because you don’t want to argue about it? Listen in for some of our personal experiences, what we’ve learned and how we’ve grown or plan to be better.
