Tales of an aspiring deductionist

 So today I decided, by my lack of human interaction, to deduce a picture from reddit  to try and stimulate my brain. Here's the picture:  Right off the bat, I can say out of my intuition that this is a young possibly teenage boy. Observations:  - Bowl on the left side  - wallet  - A lot of tabs open  - European seeming outlet according to my sources from central europe  - headphones  -  Fairly used books  - Paper  - Harry Potter quiddich ball  - TV Remote   Conclusions He is a boy from central europe living his teenage years being an overworked child slave, in other words a student. He has a lot of work to do and listens to music while he does it. A huge movie nerd with "The hunger games" poster and the ball from Harry Potter. He eats cereal in his room at 3 AM (we've all been there) with his right hand. Notice how the spoon faces to the right. Introverted and possibly in an economically bad situation. Parents gettin...

 In the last entry, we left off at the lips. Now, the lips are the most touched part of the body/face to get touched to pacify oneself. We are going to continue with the torso and then, in the third post, the legs. The neck This will only be a quick mention. We touch it very scratchingly or grab it full force, with all your palm. It is a pacifier that distributes the heat throughout the neck when we think under stress. A very good example od this is Beth Harmon in 'The queen's gambit'. She always does this when she's in a rough situation mid-game.  The chest and belly  Repeatedly scrathing the chest and crossing your arms very close to your chest is a pacifier. The latter really hiding anxiety, because the chest and torso contain the most important organs. Like the heart and your very fragile digestive system. A person instinctively wants to protect that area. Also pro tip: do not observe girl's chests for longer than 0.000000000000001 seconds or you are going to be...

 Hi. I know I haven't been active lately and now, I won't do the "I'm sorry" and add some empty promises to it like I always do. Wich I am sorry for, genuinely. I have the power of observation and, I'm not using it. This is because things have been low and my mental health is collapsing. Hope you relate or have some empathy. I'm on my way up though. Might stilll not be active for a time, but I don't do any empty promises. Back to our scheduled programming  Microexpressions are a mentalist's gratest weapon. It is also a very useful thing in deduction. "Muggles" (people that don't deduce(Harry Potter reference)) may not notice them, but rather feel them and notice that a person is sad around 30% of the time. When you try reading microexpressions, and you're not a sociopath, then you should have a very good grasph of it already. I can provide some information on the topic, but it's very hard to explain. I have a very good method ...

 Knowing body language is very beneficial in deductions. It also is in every day life. Body language makes up the most of how people communicate. Emotions and personality is displayed on the daily. We use body language unconsously every second. We just have to observe how we do these little movements and such. As sherlock Holmes said: "You see, but you do not observe."  Knowing body language not only improved my social and bragging skills, but made me a much better liar. It has had many influences on my everyday life. I know when people lie, or my favorite thing to do: Look at people when they're writing a test or going out to the board. The many pacifiers I see occuring. It is a very fun thing to do, to just look at people's body language and see what they mean. Something truly great. The thing about deduction is thet it happens in the real world and has such an impact.  Side note: Keeping up the facade Keeping up the facade. To sum it up in one thing: Being stoic. A...
