You Are What You Are

There's this language we all speak, but most of us don't notice it on a regular basis. It's the non-verbal communication between people that is underneath and around the actual words we say. You know - like when you're talking to someone and their mouth is saying they're listening ("uh-huh...uh-huh"), but you can tell they'd rather be anywhere than standing in front of you with your mouth running.

We're all mindreaders. Some of us are just more adept at reading body language, tone, facial expression, and other subtleties than others. What this means is that we affect people no matter what we do. Even if you think you can put on a smiley face and make people feel like you like them, there is still a chance they sense your falseness in some small way. All the more reason to become someone who truly loves, rather than just pretending to be someone like that. You are what you are.
