Say you had planned to ask your boss for a raise today, but when they came in to work this morning, before they even said a word you knew this wasn’t a good day to ask for a raise. How did you know?

Because I know he’s farther up the ass of the people who pay both him and me for whoring out our day hours to them?

I do think, based on my own life-long observation and experience, that most of us (or at least most neuro-typicals, I suppose might be better to say?) have a sort of “native speaker” understanding of body language

I don’t read BL well, and people who feel the need to comment on my own body language are usually not even close to what I’m trying to convey to them.

And I get fairly irritated by people who don’t take my word for what it is, but prefer to assess what I’m doing with my hand, spine, or any other body part that is really none of their business. I know it’s a reality and people tend to that, but it’s not a thing I deal well with.
