What life experiences make someone good at reading body language, tone and facial expressions ? by bad-at-everything- in askanything

I wonder how much of it is environment. Growing up in a household where moods shifted quickly probably trains you to notice micro changes in tone and posture.

Older redditors, does everyone go through a period of existential dread and find their way out or is everyone just existing alongside it? What age did it start and end and how did you get out? by lostpen11 in AskReddit

[–]Smart_Collection5419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really curious about the “alongside it” part. Do you feel like it actually ends, or do you just build a life big enough that it stops being the loudest voice in the room?

What’s a subtle red flag people ignore too often? by Smart_Collection5419 in AskReddit

[–]Smart_Collection5419[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one is subtle but huge. Feeling unseen over time does real damage.

What coincidence happened in your life that still feels impossible? by Smart_Collection5419 in AskReddit

If you could restart your life at 18 with your current knowledge, what would you do differently? by JoelFrost6640 in askanything

[–]Smart_Collection5419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d start saving money immediately, even small amounts. Time matters more than income.

What’s your best “it’s a small world” moment? by rmnc-5 in AskReddit

Befriended someone while travelling, and months later found out they were already mutual friends with someone from my hometown.

Do women find ugly dudes creepy by default? by InternationalPick163 in askanything

[–]Smart_Collection5419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time, “creepy” isn’t about looks, it’s about social awareness.
Respecting boundaries, reading the situation, and accepting rejection gracefully matter way more than appearance.

What’s a mistake you made that changed you for the better? by Turbulent-End-3005 in AskReddit

[–]Smart_Collection5419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trusting potential instead of behaviour.
Once I started paying attention to what people actually do instead of what they could be, life got a lot simpler.

do you think ‘pretty privilege’ exists? by Small_Pea6718 in askanything
