      Searching for that only yields me two search results but good try at advertising an obscure book I guess. Body language experts like Joe Navarro and Mark Bowden are renowned and have written books about the topic which I‘d rather spend my money on than a title by an anonymous author that doesn’t disclose anything about themselves, rendering the legitimacy questionable.

      I wouldn't worry, this is 90% nonsense because mannerisms are cultural and there are a million reasons someone could do a certain action. I have anxiety as well as ASD, and if "body language" is anything to go by, I'm a criminal mastermind and an emotionless psychopath and I can assure you, Ma'am, I am no mastermind.
      I think it's pretty scary that government organisations, not just in the states, use this stuff. Imagine someone coming in and deciding you've committed a crime because your horoscope says you're feeling great guilt for a misdeed; this really isn't any different.

    Growing up in certain environments I can say that I do almost none of these. It’s crazy how much childhood experience can completely change everything about someone. My father is the passive aggressive type, who often guilt trips and then tries to brush it off and then tries to put something on you then brush it off and we’re always being sarcastic. theres mistrust in the relationship, constant lies and a rocky marriage. Picking up on his intentions and what he tries to do to me when he speaks. He uses vague language so I can never really hold something against him without sounding accusatory and angered. I haven’t figured out why, but I end up avoiding communication in every way. Im self aware of everything I say and do. This sounds like an edgy attention grabbing comment but it’s the truth. I don’t react when I find something to be repulsive, painful, hilarious, impressive, scary, or breathtaking. Its like my body is still, and I have to manually forge a reaction that fits what my thoughts were when I saw it so that people don’t think i’m ignoring them or that i’m just a rude person. The only behavior I notice myself doing is wiping sweats palms on my pants. This is all I have to say.

      We are likely very different, but I really feel the same way sometimes. It may be worthwhile to try and get fully tested for ASD, often times this manifests with feelings of disconnectedness and/or self-isolation.

This is probably just a weird hobby but i really enjoy investigating and identifying the causes of peoples actions, something about being emotionally knowledgeable brings me satisfaction.

    An important caveat is that when interviewing anyone, you need to establish a “baseline” for their individual body language. Maybe they are naturally more nervous or nervous because of the situation. So you first ask questions you already know answers to to see how they react. Watch how they move when they tell the truth. Figure out their “normal”. Then, you can ask calculated questions and see if there is deviation. You are looking for *clusters* of indicators - not isolated indicators.

      Well,
      There is a series called "Lie to Me" that used to be on Netflix. Atleast in my country. But I'm not too sure if it's 100% scientifically accurate... It is a show for entertainment after all but I believe there are at least a few things that are true in there. Anyway, I loved the series. Was really interesting and entertaining. Didn't like the ending though...
      Short summary: It's basically about a "private investigator" of sorts, who specialized in reading "micro expressions" and body language and detects lies, deception and all sorts of emotions with his techniques. May be something for you! :)
