Hi all,
Earlier this year when I started working on myself, attending dance classes often, reading self-help books, befriending positive fun people, staying away from put-downers etc, I've become a lot more lively, cheerful and happy nowadays.
However, externally, this kind of energy somehow manifested itself in my actions, like my tendency nowadays to smile and laugh a lot more, and more importantly, my hand gestures and body language start becoming a lot more animated when I talk.
I realized most adult men tend to have very cool & composed body language, maybe a slight smile once in a while. For my kind of more animated behavior, maybe it's ok for girls, but not guys?
I mean, talking with other equally animated people is ok, but since most people aren't that hyper, maybe I should tone it down a bit?
A friend says that being too friendly can scare people LOL
Tks for any insight!
