Non-verbal communication in meetings of... [Acta Psychiatr Scand. 2014] - PubMed - NCBI

I can't access the article but based on the abstract, about 1/3 of people in the study use nonverbal communication to tell their pdocs they really don't want to talk. Eventually the pdocs learn not to back off but the patients signal consistently. I really wish I had access because I'm wondering what people are doing and whether I do it with people or not, whether I mean to or not. Do you feel you let people know you don't want to talk to them and how do you think that impacts issues with social relationships irl or with medical professionals?
