It could also be any one of a million other things. Perhaps they're having a bad day, month or year. Maybe they have a lot of built up hostility. Improving our own confidence, and in return our non-verbal communication, increases the chances that people will react to us favorably. At the same time being able to interpret the non-verbal communication of other people consciously gives us the ability to watch for cues that can help us to figure out how to be interpreted more favorably. For instance in some wacky case you might notice that if you smile, the person becomes more hostile, but if you join their reality and frown, they're more receptive to you. Really this subject is much too complicated to sum up in a comment, so I will write an article on it very soon. I really can’t say whether or not that’s the case, but it could be.

The communications we send out are just as important as those we witness. I often think of this when I find someone acting unreasonable or hostile...are they reflecting my non-verbal communications? And, can I help them by concentrating on more positive gestures? I am liking your theme of non-verbal communication. The communications we send out are just as important as those we witness.
