    Huh, wonder what the subtle body language was?

      This might be offensive, but I want everyone to know that my intentions are innocent. I’m only expressing how I think. If I do say something offensive, I would like to know so that I could work on it because I want to get better at understanding in an inclusive and fair manner. Because I even thought to write this disclaimer, I’m guessing there probably is something offensive, so if there is, please let me know where I’m being a jerk.

      From my experience noticing other people’s body language in both countries, people in Cuba seem wayyy more laid back and free with their body language. In the US, it seems like people are trying to meet an undisclosed standard of presenting as “having it together”, so people seem rigid and stuck. My interpretation is that people in Cuba are more authentic with their emotions, while people in the US are more controlled. My guess is that I probably look emotionally blunted to the people in Cuba.

        Not offensive in the slightest, that could very well be it.
