    Yeah body language and mannerisms can tell a lot about a person. What’s that quote? “You say a lot when you aren’t saying anything”?

      The quote I always heard was “Actions speak louder than words”. I wonder if they mean something slightly different though.

      They way I can see it is your quote “You say a lot when you aren’t saying anything” feels very passive, as in the way you carry yourself on the day to day.

      Whereas “Actions speak louder than words” is more active (has that word in it alredy) as in how you treat and carry yourself around others.

      Both can be seen as a way to observe the social queues that aren’t completely verbal to see what kind of person someone is. Just something to ponder I guess.
