Once you unlearn your social & dating anxiety, it becomes hard not to notice how anxious many others are. Sometimes it takes fifteen minutes, but you can usually tell from one glance
Its really energetic more than anything particular. The biggest signs seem to be avoiding eye contact, not smiling, just...very keeping to themselves body language. When this happens, I tend to be in a state of consciousness that if they do see me, they end up loosening up a lot and suddenly smiling, but energetically its as if they neither want to see or be seen until that happens
@ChrisChipMonk What's cool is that the way this seems to work is you stop getting in the way of stuff your body was already sensing but you were too anxious to notice. Reminds me of how @FU_joehudson says that a great way of becoming a good coach is to know yourself really, really well.
