Of course, I'm sure that's so they can plan their public staged touching and revel in how much money they'll take in because of it. Maybe Lindsey's bunker is also a secret vault full of all the monies they have accumulated together in thier joint business ventures through the last 40 years!  |
The big thing to watch if you suspect that someone is acting or trying to manipulate you is the involuntary physical responses that no person can control. That tells the truth and cannot be manipulated for any reason. Just as an example, a person's pupils dilate when they see something that pleases them or someone they love. By the same token, if a person sees something or someone they don't like, their pupils will constrict. Think about that show Lie To Me - it covered a wide range of these involuntary responses and is actually a very good learning tool if you are interested in body language analysis. It particularly focuses on micro-expressions in the face but other parts of body language are covered as well. And you are right, mirroring is a very significant part of analyzing a relationship between individuals. When people are "in sync" they mirror each other without even realizing that they are doing so - it can be very entertaining.
This is why some actors immerse themselves in their roles - they must find a way to think and feel like their character or these involuntary movements and expressions will give away the fact that they are acting.
