I wear my emotions on my sleeve and my body language will tell you exactly how I'm feeling. Since I don't feel the same all the time my body language also changes.

Stay away. I smile a lot and am friendly but don't encourage engagement.

I purposefully change up my body language to confuse anyone who’s paying too much attention to it.

I must be giving mixed messages. While sitting, I generally cross my legs, but with my torso open and my arms wide, resting on an armrest or something. Maybe inviting interest while indicating I'm a lady? Not sure I believe all these characterizations, but there might be some truth to it in some cases. I'm likely more expressive with my face, through my eyes and smile, generally pretty good at what I wish to convey. (Comes from being a hula dancer!)

Don't mess with me I may break your neck but in a good sort of way.

confident but aching

Sometimes the way you sit/stand/walk is the result of pain and/ or trauma. In the pix above, I would assume a person massaging their head has a headache!

Body language is the new phrenology.

I'm long in the torso for my 6'1" height -- when I sit at a table w/ others, I'm a head taller. Over the years, I've taken to slouching in the chair to NOT intimidate others.

Funny story, while driving home during the dawn of the cell phone era,was passing a guy on his cell phone -- holding it in his right hand and gesturing like a native Italian w/ his left. I figured it was time to accelerate and leave that accident behind me.

Then we had a Hungarian refugee, who always got up close and personal and kept sticking his finger in the others face. I always wanted to bite it ....

Point is, many gestures, mannerisms are culturally dependent and rather meaningless.

Fuck off.

Unless you have coffee.
Then, I love you.

I don’t interpret body language well, at all. I’m sure I broadcast with mine, though.

No Touchy!

These things lend themselves to encouraging false interpretations, and wrong assumptions. It's bad enough that people judge others based on their looks, or where they live, or come from, or how much formal education they've been exposed to. Judging people by how they gesture, or how often they fucking blink during a conversation, is just as bad, and shouldn't be encouraged.

I'm sure they see an old long haired man limping. Being retired: I don't walk straight up like I should. I'm a bit overweight. I dress casually.
What they don't know: I'm an educated man. I prepared for my future. I travel. I'm a survivor.

I'm not big on those body language things. There is substantial room for error.
Sometimes, massaging your forehead means you have a headache, and touching your nose means it itches.

Leave me alone and don't bother me. lol

Side note... Watch how guarded Trump appears when he is asked a question he doesn't like or doesn't know the answer to.

Love the chart. I gesture while speaking.

I have no idea how others perceive me if they don't tell me. If they do tell me it is sometimes way off the mark.

I have resting bitch face so most people avoid me lol
