5 Body Language Signs of Jealously by Patti Wood

Here are my rough notes for an article I contributed to today on signs of jealousy.

1. Starring - They look at you with a focused intense gaze. They are reading your every emotion to know how to act. Their gaze is a way to test you and reduce your actions and set boundaries. They may do or say something uncomfortable right before or after the hypnotic gaze to test how you respond. You need

to check in to your feelings and body. If the gaze makes you uncomfortable, afraid, controlled if it seems too intense, too exciting, or dangerous. You can test the “Health” of the gaze by breaking it. Even moving away from there and or getting up and move or leave the room and monitor if your relief. See if breaking the gaze and your partner’s response to the break is overly negative. 

2. Controlling your space, and body, time, and choices wanting you to be by their side, in the same room with touching or line of sight, they want to control your body, how you look what you were. 

3. Setting “boundaries and other Rules and getting mad when you change them.

4. Breaking Boundaries and Rules -They set boundaries and rules for you, but they break normal human interaction and relationships with you. If someone boundary-breaking note how you feel. For example, if you find yourself freezing in place, that is your body saying you are in danger. Narcissists may mask the intimacy in sweetness or politeness, for example holding hands or putting their arm around you after they have done something that upsets you and makes you very uncomfortable. Are moving into show ownership when you are talking with someone else.

5. Abrupt mood changes and Parent/Adult/ Child role changes. If someone is jealous is not getting what they want they can shift all their nonverbal behaviors in the blink of an eye and transform themselves. For example, if they chastise them or question they can take on all the nonverbal behaviors of an innocent victimized child, with doe-like eyes and softly rounded body language cues. They can also shift into sudden anger.

Body language expert Patti Wood analyzes Gov Cuomo's behavior as he attempts to defend nursing home COVID death cover-up

Body language expert Patti Wood spoke to DailyMail.com about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's defense of the nursing home death cover-up
The governor makes gestures that could indicate deception such as hiding his hands and toning down his emotional range
He also makes fist gestures as he speaking about 'lying' and 'misinformation'
Cuomo talks at length around the topic instead of addressing it directly
It is a tactic used by lawyers to sway opinion in their direction
He also cracked a joked moments before addressing the topic to put the audience at ease using his 'broad emotional range'
Cuomo is under increasing pressure over his handling of COVID-19 deaths in the state's nursing homes
He insists his office was always honest about the figures but that it came down to differences in categorization

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has faced fierce criticism in recent weeks over his handling of the data concerning nursing home deaths from COVID-19, which he has tried to battle off through his once-hyped daily press conferences.

According to a body language expert, the media briefings could be giving away more than the governor intends - his arms pressed to his sides and closed fists may indicate Cuomo's deception, his repression of true feelings, and his eagerness to fight off the negative press.

Definition of Dorian Gray syndrome

The classic movie, “A Picture of Dorian Gray” it’s a fascinating movie and a great version of short story. As you watch the movie you see how Dorian’s narcissism builds into an obsession about his youth and attractiveness. He must be the center of attention, he must have the women he wants. Note how he preens chest up and high in his clothing and looks in the mirror.  

I write and speak on body language and malignant narcissism. 

Here is the definition of Dorian Gray syndrome 

(DGS) denotes a cultural and societal phenomenon characterized by a man's extreme pride in his personal appearance and the fitness of his physique, which is accompanied by difficulties in coping with the requirements of psychological maturation and with the aging of his body.

The DGS is characterized by a triad of symptoms that overlap, and so combine diagnostic signs of dysmorphophobia, narcissistic character traits, and the immaturity of arrested development, which often are found in paraphilias.[1]

To preserve ephemeral youth, the man afflicted with DGS tends to consume cosmetic products and services, hair-restoration procedures, anti-impotence drugs, and cosmetic surgery; hence, he might resist the psychosomatic and psychodynamic explanations of the syndrome.[2] The term "Dorian Gray syndrome" refers to the protagonist of the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), an exceptionally handsome man whose hedonism and excessive self-love proved detrimental to the personal, social, and emotional aspects of his life, and who sought to escape the ravages of time and his own decadent lifestyle by having a supernatural portrait of himself age in his place.

I love to climb inside somebody else’s life. 

" A Life" The Biography of Mike Nichols was a fantastic and fascinating read about a creative genius. I loved that he was a Director who not only he no only understood the importance of body language but used it to make his movies. He used the actors, stage moves, (business) in incredibly intimate, real, sad, and funny.
