This is so true! Communication is not just words, it is so much more than that. If you think about it we are actually doing telepaphy with other people when we combine words, body language, facial exp...

I feel like this is semantics. Repetitions/prolongations are perfectly fine. Extreme blocks/panic/avoidance behaviors/frequently saying untrue things bc the truth wouldn’t come out, often leading ...
