You can tell a lot about someone from the way they hunch their shoulders.
You can tell if they're cold. Or if they're shy. Or if they're self-conscious. Or if they're used to hiding their face from the world.
You can tell a lot about a person from the way they walk.
You can tell if they have confidence. Or just a limp. You can tell if they are pregnant. Or if they really, really, REALLY need to use the restroom. Or just if their shoes are too tight. Or their underwear is chafing them.
You can tell a lot about people from what they wear. You can tell what bands they like. You can guess their favorite color. You can tell if they skateboard in their free time. Or if they dress for practicality and comfort over style and beauty. You can even tell if they are rebellious. Or slightly strange. Or slightly off. Or slightly like you.
You can tell a lot about people
From what they don't tell you.

- Hi, I'm jumira-wings, likely to be one of the strangest people you'll ever meet.
I've been doing the potty dance in public since I was six years old. I used to get bumped to the front of the line for that one, ha-ha!
ReplyDeleteWell done, is this supposed to be a piece of "literature" or "just a blog post"? Like, would you post this in a magazine or other reading medium? If not, I think you should.
Actually, I thought about making this the beginning of a novel or even a magazine article on nonverbal communication (I LOVE studying about communication).
ReplyDeleteAnd I did the potty dance a lot, too. Luckily, only my mom noticed and knew what it meant.
