They reflect true emotions and intentions, and are even detectable to deception. Though we almost always look for emotions in one's face, our body language and stance can classify how comfortable we are in a situation.
In knowing this, are you now more aware of body language around you? Will you specifically look for it from now on to detect dishonesty, or would you rather not know?

I think that I will be more aware of body language when talkng to people. I might not want to but now that I know all this new information I will probably look for it when I talk to someone. Also I think that I might look for it in certain people and not everyone that I talk to because i might not want to know if they are telling the truth or lying. If people know about this information then I think there would be more conflicts with people because they will think that someone is lying to them.
I always look for body language to see if someone is lying. That's just how I am. I prefer to know the truth then to be naive and believe a lie. Some people can't handle the truth but I believe I can.

I always look at body language and take it into account when talking with someone. I usually look for it in the face or hands because I don't usually look down at someones legs when talking to them, but after learning about this article i will definately be more aware of it. However just because someone is shuffling there feet when talking to me doesn't meant I'm going to label them as a liar, its just something I'll take into consideration.

When I talk to people I can generally tell they are lying if they are not making eye contact with you or if they figdit. I never thought to look down at their legs and feet to see how they are standing. I think from now on I will ahve to casually glance down at their feet to see what exactly they are doing with them if i suspect that they may be lying to me!
I think knowing this now, I will be more aware of body language even if it is unintentional. I think if I suspect someone is lying, I will be more aware of body language if the lie is something that will bother me, than if it were a little white lie or something/someone that didnt really matter to me. I will probably use this information more out of curiosity to see if its actually true than for my own reasons.
