No one seems to be mentioning here that subcommunications are a real, studied thing that encompass things like body language, facial expression, voice tonality, and eye contact. The facial action coding system is one example of how scientists have begun to codify these types of auras. Less studied, but in my experience still very valid, is the fact that one can change their subcommunications either through deliberate practice, or through changing internal beliefs and feelings.
I have periods where I have a “aura” that lets people on the street speak to me and other where that doesn’t happen.
I remember once that in such a period a person was approaching me from behind while I was walking and reading on my Kindle. There seems to be a lot of information that goes beyond simply facial expression/voice tonality/naive conceptions of body-language.
Are you claiming that people were picking up on something other than the signals your body was giving off, (gait and posture would be the most obvious studied signals here) or simply that people don’t often think about things like gait and posture when they talk about body language?
