Your face replies before your mouth does. Check what it’s saying.

Reactions land on your face about half a second before you decide anything. The flicker when someone shares an idea, the eyebrow at a mistake: people catch it and believe it over whatever you say next. That is why some people feel judged around you for reasons you would deny.

Notice your first reaction once today, when someone says something you disagree with. You cannot delete the flicker, but you can follow it fast with a question instead of a verdict.
