Actually,when smene tells a lie, the persn's bld rushes t the nse and the extrabld makes it itchy (发痒的). This little example f nn-verbal cmmunicatininspired me t becme a bdy language expert.

All f these say a lt and cannly be understd if yu knw hw t make sense f the signs.

My wrking life gives me a great deal f satisfactin. I feel that I' mprviding a public service, but it is a service that has had its dwnside.Whenever I meet smene new and I tell them what I d fr a living, theyimmediately put their guard up and they're n lnger relaxed. They quiteliterally freeze in the attempt t hide all the signals that they think I' m reading.
It makes life difficult at times, but I cnsider it a small price t pay fr a jb Ienjy s much.
