    Today when I was walking to the train station i decided to analyse my own body language of what I just thought. When I was thinking about being with another guy I continued walking with my head up, looking forward. When I thought about telling my mates that I was bi, my head would then look down so that I was looking at the ground. I figured out that I also do this when I think back about negative experiences in the past.

    So I am wondering if when you thought about telling people about your sexuality that your had the same subconcious reaction or if its just me?

    yeah, i think thats pretty good reasoning. probably explains the reasoning why I can't look people in the eyes as I walk pass them on the street :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    still was fun analysing my body langauge though :slight_smile:

    my body language is probably very difficult to read for most people.
    i almost never have the same reaction twice :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    but... yeah.
    Coming out usually equates a nervous reaction.

    if you can't look at the person look past them, don't look down especially if you're telling someone who may not be accepting. They'll smell weakness and come after it. Be strong.

    I didn't mean when telling people that I'm bi, I meant in general, walking down the street. is that worse? XD

    Body language? I don't pay attention to it; while I'm walking, I generally have software designs/music/anxiety overflowing in my head.

    Look in the eyes of the listener always ! It intimidates them ! If you cannot look them in the eye, look at the center of the forehead. It's an old sales trick.
