4. Feet and Direction: Where the Truth Often Points
People control their faces.
They forget about their feet.
Feet angled toward an exit often signal a desire to leave.
Feet angled away from a person can signal discomfort or boundary-setting.
Leaning in—especially without realizing it—often signals interest or trust.
Crossed legs pointed outward often indicate emotional withdrawal.
This isn’t manipulation detection.
It’s attention detection.
The body orients toward what feels safe and meaningful.
And away from what doesn’t.
