"Anger is a secondary emotion to things like fear and sadness and anxiety."
Possibly one of those most valuable lessons in this entire talk. -
This woman is spot on. She captured me immediately and distracted me from imprtant work.
-
Comming from a Middle Eastern background, we were taught from a young age that looking someone in the eye is a sign of daring and disrespect, especially when done during a conversation with an older person or one with a higher level of authority.
That caused me some real problems with one of my bosses at work in Australia. He believed he's a 'people reader'. He often thought I was lying when I spoke to him 🙄 -
I appreciate her emotion when talking about things that are clearly important to her. Thank you so so much!
-
Really interesting stuff. Some caution: Eye blocking is very common with people on the Autistic Spectrum and to some degree with people who have anxiety. This should absolutely be taken into account when assessing eye blocking.

I have learned more about life from Tedtalks than my 61 years of life.

My 19 y.o. son is a junior w/ a psychology major. I met you today on Mel Robbins’ podcast and immediately sent this Ted Talk to my son. I plan on following up with him to be sure he gets well acquainted with you!! You’re going to be an additional professor of his…
We need you in our lives!! Thank you!!❤ -
Wow this is one of the best ted talks ever. The fact that Janine gets emotional gets back to her full strength throughout this talk makes her so strong. Her mom is so lucky to have her ❤️
-
She wants everybody to fight their battles using whatever tools they have in order to never give up. She is a friend to all of us

Me to pup (pointing at carpet stain): “Did you do this?”
Pup: eye blocks for 9 seconds.
Fast forward - pup watches video.
Me to pup (pointing to shredded dog bed): “Did you do this?”
Pup: Looks me square in the eye, assertively shakes head no, and points to invisible cat.
Thanks YouTube. -
I loved the talk, now I'll see anger differently. Also, I don't know if I'm right because she put "I miss you mom" in the last slide, but I am really sorry for her loss, it is a beautiful thing to honor her with this talk and sharing ESL to teach people another way to help others

When you're a person with high empathy (an "empath") It seems like most of this is just innate. We pick up body language, energy, and other people's emotions quickly...even when you would prefer not to. It's all highly intuitive even before you know what to do with the information that you're feeling.
-
She is absolutely captivating. I loved this ted talk. Easily made my top faves.
-
As a single mother to an angry, frustrated little boy who’s full of love, Thank You. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Do not confuse eye blocking with migraine, overstimulation, or photo phobia *sensitivity to light, due to medical condition or medication reaction. I suffer from all of these. I often wear sunglasses indoors or sit with my eyes closed for minutes. I'm not a killer, just a mom and grandma with migraines, light sensitivity and ADHD, which causes me to feel overstimulated by light, noise. Often police use these tools to determine guilt. Many people are bullied by police because these tools are used inappropriately.

This talk is riddled with debunked myths. As a therapist I can assure you that this is not always true. People eye block for many reasons not just one. Anger is not always a secondary emotion as recent research indicates, closed off body language does not always mean defensiveness. Crossed legs do not always mean comfortability. Closed eyes is not uncomfortable to many. When eyes are closed many people are seeking visualization in that area of the brain. So is what she said true? Absolutely in some cases and absolutely not in others.
-
What a wonderful public speech! The speaker uses effective speaking techniques such as story telling, repetition, audience engagement, body language and vocal variety, to make her speech memorable and persuasive. I am going to follow her call and use this ESL in my day-to- day life.
-
Weak clapping, audience.., she deserved so much more enthusiasm, in my belief, during this presentation. I appreciate the gift of knowing, the signs to look for, thanks to this informative video.
-
We always read each other's body language...we just haven't honed the decoding skills to the level this lady has.....she was very compelling and amazing....strong woman....loved it!!!!

Why did I start crying when she said I was going to tell you about my mom‘s journey but I’m gonna let you to let her tell you😢
