i think this a helpful page in broad strokes but i found them analyzing things that seemed a little too specific (like a finger pointing upward means negative thoughts - what? i do that gesture quite a bit and it has nothing to do with negative thoughts).

Then why not her? (When you're not angry)

What difference does it make to you? I see no need to look at the woman. It does not help me do what I do at an appointment.

It doesn't make a difference.. I didn't mean to offend you. I was just curious about why you only make eye contact with her when you're angry at her. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. There is no judgment in my interest.
