I have couple of female friends that I noticed when I engage them in some interesting topic they stick their tongue out to the side of the mouth. Not sure about what this might mean. Joe Navarro in his book "what everybody is saying" referred to this action as a self comforting sign when done inside the mouth, but not sure what it means when the tongue is stuck outside. Any ideas?!

On how to read Body language more effectively? I’m Well aware that this is my biggest weakness when talking with people. Which takes away so many oppertunities in life.

I notice that I'm constantly aware of my and other's body language and I feel bad anytime I look down when I'm walking past someone or I'm not squaring my shoulders when I pass a bigger guy than me. For example today I was at the store and this guy just walked past me head up. I looked down at my basket as I was pushing by his locked path. I moved out of his way for politeness not out of intimidation and I could tell that he had this "yeah I'm the boss he looked down" type of strut and it made me angry.

But I'm also sitting here questioning why I should even care how others observe my body language as long as I'm comfortable with how I'm walking? I do think there is importance of displaying important body language in situations such as a job interview or in the military, but at the store when I'm trying to get some milk in front of some guy who I don't know and I may or may not see again? Now I'm not no punk but I'm not confrontational either unless I need to be. I guess this is more of a rant than anything.

Been noticing lately... when I am in work and looking/observing anything... I lift up my right shoulder.

Can anyone help me what is happening in my mind?

I’m looking for books about body language in general but that are more practical. Am I making any sense?, like books with experiments or things to try in the field Also some books about creating rapport

A collegue of mine used be friendly with me. Sometimes I felt like was annoying to her. But recently her behviour changed a lot. Everytime I am in her presence, like in enter the common kitchen or something. She stares at the floor, tries really hard not to make eye contact.
