Body language/facial expressions

ladynicotine

This may seem a little random.  I've been reading some material about body language, in the hopes that I might be able to improve my reading of other peoples body language - something I feel I'm very bad at.  Everything I've read seems to be assuming that you're capable of reading your own body language - for instance knowing what expression is on your own face without looking in a mirror. 

I can't.

I mentioned this to the person who is supposed to provide me with advice & her only response was "most people can".  She also said that she'd never heard of anyone not being able to read their own body language, & that was the end of the discussion.

I can't seem to find anything anywhere relating to this issue - am I really the only person in the whole world who can't do this?  Will I ever be able to do anything about it?

  • I received a group email from Head of sector saying that during a full team meeting- some people were being disrespectful and rude. This was followed by an email from my line manager saying that it was me they were referring to.  Shocked I phone the Head of Sector to ask why they would accuse me of something like that, when I was clearly engaged and haven't disrespected anyone ever.  Apparently it wa as down to some facial expressions that someone had seen. I really don't know when this occurred.  It was a full day meeting setting off at 6am with an overnight stay to contine.  Feels like I'm being bullied for being 'different'.
