And if the other person is also familiar with it. Can they make you think that what they are saying, is true, say?

Much of human communication is nonverbal. Some experts have said as much as 90% of communication is through body language. Those who study human behavior are schooled in body laguage; for example, law enforcement personell find it very useful during interigation to determine if a suspect is being deceptive. On the other hand, con artists may use body language to manipulate people, to put people at ease while they are unknowingly getting ripped off.

Body language is not at all that valuable, especially when you are talking on the phone, also if a person is familiar with all the positions or stances then you certainly can be led astray. I have vision problems and have difficulty seeing peoples faces, so body language is out for me,

See if you can find the book called "How To Read A Person Like A Book"... It is extremely interesting andit will eventually come natural to you to know how someone else is thinking or feeling...great book!... I used one of the "technique looks" many years ago in a deposition and the attorney was pretty hard on me but I used the "steepled finger" position (which is supposed to mean that YOU are in control) purposely just to see how it worked and believe it or not the "mean attorney got frustrated and threw his hands in the air and said "I have no more questions"..lol... It also made me "feel" in control. Attorneys can be extremely intimidating and ruthless but I was prepared and it DID work!... check it out and have fun with it!

The study is very good! People that know the body language can try to hide it but it comes out..if you know what you are looking for.

Body language is usually subconcious. If you want to learn to read body language, you have to make sure that you really know what's going on with a person before you assume something, incase you read wrong.

Simple, if mathematics were not around, how can we tell how many planets there are, how old we are, how we score homeruns, field gials, what is our basis in finishing school without numbers, and a whole lot more. There would be no physics, chemistry, algebra, geometry, and the like.

Yes and yes.
but it is very hard to fake body language, especially when you are emotional.
Counsellors learn body language as it is very useful when talking to someone.
