Body Language Analyst REACTS to James Charles FASCINATING Apology | Episode 51

well hey there idiots welcome back to observe and it is indeed april fool's day but nevertheless that has not stopped the influencer james charles from releasing what should be a very important apology video today i'm going to be analyzing his nonverbal communication throughout this video and giving you my opinions at the very very end i won't go into what all is surrounding james charles because it is everywhere else on the internet and there are many many people who have covered that and that's not my job my job is to be able to look at his body language so let's go ahead and do just that okay so right off the bat let's just go ahead and talk about the setting that he's in because i talk about this in every apology video we could see that he is in front of an infinite white background this could be linked to wanting to appear as pure or something along those lines but he's also wearing black it looks like his makeup is not done perhaps a little bit of gel in his eyebrows but his hair is largely messy it doesn't seem like he's here to try to flex any wealth or anything along those lines that being said i feel like i should note that at one point in his career he has done a course on how to make apology videos so needless to say this should appear good nonetheless so this is good news we're not being distracted by anything in the background he's not trying to flex anything to us that's good that's appropriate let's go ahead and start watching the video itself hello everyone james charles here and today i'm going to be making a very important video about very important oh boy okay so first volume very just extremely low i understand that he's trying to be sincere but that doesn't mean that he has to make it to where you have to have the volume of your tv or computer or phone or in this case tablet all the way turned up for instance this is turned up all the way and i can still just just barely hear it whatsoever so that is a little bit of a miss but that's a technical miss he also didn't start off with his normal intro of hey sisters so this means that he's trying to show that he's being sincere so far he's taking off boxes as to what you should do in an apology video to be able to maintain this sense of openness and vulnerability and raw composition to your video we'll see if that holds up we'll see what his body language does throughout it and we'll see if he makes any excuses for himself so on and so forth let's go topic as many of you guys know about two years ago now i was involved with it very public i want to make a note of the type of blinking that he's doing this rapid flutter blinking that he shows multiple times here is centered around discomfort that's usually psychological or emotional discomfort means that he's uncomfortable with what he's talking about here understandable just judging from the little bit that i know of this instance apparently he was involved with sending inappropriate texts to minors or grooming with minors it's something with him and minors and that's not a good thing on any level regardless of who it is or how much you like the person that's never acceptable so i'd see why he's uncomfortable with this and that is reflected already in his nonverbal communication of his eyes let's let's keep going online scandal in which some fellow youtubers made some very serious accusations against me and within the past couple of weeks similar accusations are being made again and i think it's very important that i get on camera and talk to you guys honestly about what is going on when this first happened two years ago i uploaded a video to my channel called no more lies and that video was a very planned video i didn't see or analyze that video so i can't really say whether or not it was garbage but i'm gonna just bat judging by how he's addressing it here that it was pretty garbage let's keep watching it focus on receipts and screenshots and defending myself in the situation but i want you guys to know that this video that i'm gonna be making today is going to be nothing like no more lies uh this is not exactly planned i don't have a script i will let you guys know that i do have just some notes in front of me so i will note that his blinking has increased dramatically over here as well as including multiple of those fluttering blinks that you can see this leads me to believe that at very least it is somewhat planned i'm not sure if he's going to talk about if there's an outline or anything along those lines or if he mentioned anything about that it's really hard for me to hear this i have it all the way turned up and i still i can't hear but he does have something planned here from what his nonverbal communication is showing me there's too many blinks that are increasing in this area which is an eye-blocking gesture which means there's distancing which means that it implies that there is something that's misaligned so that means that we can kind of infer from that that this is at least lightly planned on some level points that i want to make because this is a very very serious topic but today's video is going to be from the heart and i'm going to focus on what happened uh the conclusions that i've come to and most importantly holding myself accountable for my own actions those are all things that you should do in every apology good good job james at least so far he's saying the right things good to know first and foremost i need to say sorry um i owe a massive apology to anybody that i've hurt or anybody that i've made uncomfortable with my actions and i also want to say i'm sorry to my friends family and fans that have to watch another one of these videos because you shouldn't have to and this is really really embarrassing uh when this all started online to hammer home that blinking flutter you can see he says it's really really embarrassing and then as if in response to that thought that emotion the blinking flutter happens this is good to know because later on if that shows up in the video centered around something that perhaps shouldn't have that blinking flutter in there that indicator of intense emotional or psychological discomfort then we have a red flag and we can start asking questions we can dive a little bit deeper maybe try to think of the alternate thought pattern behind why he started blinking like that in this area it's just a good indicator for stress in james charles we have to make a note of it as we continue forward a few weeks ago it sparked a large conversation and many people have shared their thoughts and opinions and i want to take some time to address literally everything in today's video but before doing that i want to make it really really clear that i fully understand my actions and how they are big gulp after that this is a sign of nerves nervousness anxiousness anxiety so on and so forth that's all centered around and that that happens everywhere for everyone as long as you're speaking in front of people or speaking about something that would make you nervous or has heavy implications it's common to see a gulp in there if you want to be able to see that just watch any public speaker that's relatively new to their game and you'll see plenty of them wrong there's no excuse for them and i don't plan on making any in this video either and i hope that you will choose to watch it all the way through um i also just want to make a quick note as well that i'm filming this on the night of march 31st it is currently 12 54 in the morning i'm alone here in the studio and i know that when i upload this tomorrow it is going to be april fool's day which is awful timing because this video and this topic is not a joke in any way shape or form and i don't want anybody to think that it is but i also don't want to wait any longer to speak about this i want you guys to know that this is very very important to me and i'm taking this it's just a good point terrible day to release an apology video because you know that there's going to be a bunch of people that are like haha it's april fools and then make some sort of really uncreative joke about it being april fools and i'm sure that there's already 201 billion comments about it being on april fools and that level of humor is just the most bottom and such low-hanging fruit as far as humor goes but that's nothing to do with his apology but i do like that he does make a note that he is releasing this on the universal practical joke haha got you day terrible day to release it but at least he acknowledges that so let's keep watching it and just kind of ignore that from here moving on very very seriously uh the last thing that i want to say before i just get into it is that i think it's important that i provide a trigger warning for this video uh there's going to be topics and things talked about that are very very sensitive to some people and i don't want anybody to have to listen to those if they don't want to so i'm just letting you know serves for this video then too if he's offering a trigger warning in his then i suppose we should also have a trigger warning in this one if anything that james says is triggering to you i apologize our goal is to know the truth not to spread any rumors or fan any flames that don't need to be let's see what we can see from his nonverbal communication during this video and then we'll summarize at the very very end right now but with all that said i think it's time that we talk in case anybody isn't aware of what's going on within the past couple of weeks two different people both under the age of 18 have recently come forward saying that they had inappropriate messages with me on social media uh one of them being from last year and one of them being from more recent in both of these cases i added these people on snapchat asked how old they were right away was told that they were 18 believe them engaged in a flirty conversation and then later on found that they were actually 16 upon finding out so when he was saying that he believed them he raises his eyebrows opened his eyes a little bit more this is a pleading gesture everybody also shrugs as well so you know that there's insecurity centered around that that would make sense as well for both sides either one he's trying to mask that he did know or he was indeed fooled by them or didn't do his research as he should by them something along those lines regardless he's insecure about that facet of things i was immediately embarrassed and blocked both people later on when i saw them making videos about it and those videos going viral my immediate reaction completely honestly was to be really really upset i wanted to get on camera and film another no more live video where i gather okay you can see the fluttering blink come in here center around this emotional turbulence this psychological turbulence you could also see his brow furrowing in a universal anger expression this could also bleed into various facets of that be it disgust contempt so on and so forth anywhere where you see somebody's eyebrows furrow like that it could also be concentration that doesn't fit in this specific area especially with those words but that does mean that it's at least synchronized it's good to see that means that if we see it become desynchronized later on we can have a red flag on our hands and have a reason to question what he's saying all my receipts and all my screenshots and try to tell my side of the story and then just move on from the situation and now looking back that was so stupid because as i did more research on these topics and self-reflect big eye block quite intentional of one as well but this is part of nonverbal communication you can do intentional expressions or gestures that are reflections of the micro and mini expressions and gestures that you do subconsciously so when you see him do that was so whatever it's that eye blocking that is an indicator of a desire to distance oneself from the thing being spoken about also the throwing of the brows still centered in that negative emotional state this all makes sense but there's nothing to read as far as leakage so far but it is still good to note that we are understanding james charles's non-verbal repertoire so far i realized that the receipts and the screenshots and the sys and the specific details of the interaction really don't matter because i [ __ ] up so he's using illustrators with his hands of like grabbing things out of the air this is just showing that he's being more authentic with this recollection and speaking of instances and then also he has a verbal stuttering in there that doesn't mean that it's not scripted or scripted or anything along those lines it's easy to be able to mess up a word during a video it is interesting that he decided to leave it in maybe he just didn't want to edit it out or he missed it regardless we have noted it and we're going to keep moving and i needed to take accountability for my actions and most importantly apologize to the people that were affected by them these conversations should have never happened point blank period there's no excuse for it there's no if so during this these conversations should have never happened and he has a contempt smile slip into his face that's where one side of the smile is higher than the other or there's not a smile on one side of face and there is on the other and contempt smiles are an indicator of moral or intellectual superiority this could be in regards to the people to which he's referring or also to himself regardless that has slipped in there and then with the slight no shaking this is likely related to the negative emotions to which he's speaking of this is helping us flesh out james charles and his nonverbal communication so that as i have said earlier in this video as we continue forward we can see if there is any leakage because that's why we're here we want to know if what he's saying is genuine and authentic and i'm going to do the best i can to be able to see if there are any areas where that could not be true and butts and i take full responsibility for that i trusted i will note that he says i take full responsibility of that and shakes his head no this is possible desynchronization that means that if it pops up again and it's another point of possible desynchronization then we'll have to really pay attention to those areas because they could be an indicator of emotional leakage of possible deceit information that was given to me rather than information i could have and should have gotten myself in both of these situations doing research into these people's public social media profiles would have revealed their true ages and therefore these conversations would have never happened in the first place but i didn't do the research and that is what is so embarrassing eyes are going all over on this part largely off to the side of the screen repeatedly in the same area this lends me to believe that this is where he has a script or outline or something along those lines either posted or hung or something so he could refer to it regularly or there's something happening off to the side of the screen over there our question is why likely it's a script let's keep going um as an adult it is my job and my responsibility to verify who i'm talking to and therefore there is no one to blame for this other than myself just a lot of that repeated fluttering blinking emotional turbulence psychological turbulence he's very uncomfortable talking about this is that because he's uncomfortable acknowledging that he's at fault maybe is that because he's uncomfortable because he knows that he's at fault maybe regardless he is psychologically and emotionally very uncomfortable with that specific line about him being in charge as an adult to do his appropriate research of who he's talking to especially as an adult who is very very famous and has a lot of power because of that so we can see his emotional state in this this just helps us understand him better throughout the rest of the video um to the guys involved with the situation i want to say i'm sorry i'm sorry that i oughta do i'm sorry that i flirted with you and i'm really sorry if i ever made you uncomfortable it is completely unacceptable i was being reckless so he has that repeated blanking in there still still noting it but also his eyebrows start to show a little bit more action with a little bit of furrowing on one side this can be contempt this can be discussed this can be anger this can be anything in that wheelhouse it's really difficult to tell the exact emotion regardless any of those in there can fit our question is why is it in there is it towards himself or is it towards them we don't know but we have made note of it let's keep watching and after looking back and finally realizing that this was my own fault i started doing a lot of thinking and reflecting to my own fault raises one shoulder this is an insecurity gesture perhaps he's not as secure in saying that as he's trying to present himself as because tonally and verbally he sounds pretty confident but non-verbally speaking when you do that raising of one side of the shoulder and exposing the next sort of thing that cluster doesn't indicate confidence it indicates insecurity in what you're saying chances are on some at least subconscious level he doesn't believe that he's the one at fault completely he probably believes that it's partially somebody else's fault and it's showing up in his body language really try and figure out why i was actually allowing myself to be so reckless in the first place in all other areas of my life my friends my business i like to think of myself as pretty put together and on top of things and i couldn't understand why relationships were a lot of shrugging in that a lot of no shaking he likes to think that but he knows he's not that would be the easiest way to interpret what we just saw is he likes to think that he's put together blah blah blah but he knows he's not and that's actually the case for a lot of people who like to believe that they've got everything put together they like to say that to people but as soon as rubber hits the road and it's really put under a microscope they don't they don't have that and we can see that in various areas in james charles's life throughout his career and when he talks about it here his body language also kind of betrays him on that front too the one outlier why were they not working why was this area of me so different and i finally finally came to a conclusion it's finally finally it's an intentional repetition of finally it indicates that he's trying to imply that he really has been thinking hard on this subject the usage of that is very intentional that is just an indicator that he's aware of what he's saying and how he's presenting it that's important for us to note that means that this is something he has planned it might not have scripted it as he said earlier on he doesn't have a script he has an outline but he has at least planned this video in his head so when he's saying finally finally that is what it's indicating to us he knows what he's about to say let's see what it is socks and it is ridiculously embarrassing to admit this but i think i have to and that is that i'm desperate i do understand that when these videos come into lip compression they're biting back negative lotions this could be related to the fact that he said that he is desperate that's probably partially true that he's desperate is that the complete truth is that the total truth we have no idea to be very fair a lot of people who apologize and are good at apologizing can apologize for things that answer the questions of many people but aren't the complete truth we don't know if this is the complete truth from james and that lip compression afterwards is that related to the negative emotions of him saying that he's desperate or is it related to the fact that he knows that's not the full picture we don't know that either that would be filled in by context by other sources so on and so forth and that's where a lot of you will be able to come in because i'm not an expert on james charles so when i see this and i see this verbal pattern and this nonverbal display then that means that there's something that he's biting back now for you who know who james charles is what his career is like and have done all of this side of the research then you could fill that in what is he biting back there let me know in the comments below until then i'm going to keep watching this video and letting you know what i see like it's really starting to not even starting it's really looking period like i'm actively searching for younger people to be in a relationship with and i just want to say firsthand that that is absolutely not the case my okay there's a little bit to happen here and i want to talk about why it's important first he has some early on seepage of disgust coming out around the corner of his nose that's the most common and easiest way to see that leakage is around the corner of the nose it's right up in this area and this area where you can commonly see it he also has some contempt slip in there so disgust and contempt and then along with that we hear a verbal patterning that's really really common in people who want to build a lot of distance between themselves and an issue and that's to add extra extraneous verbage to a sentence so he says that's absolutely not the case that's a lot of words to say it's not true but he feels like he has to say that in order to distance himself quite literally from whatever he's talking about and in this case being attracted to minors interacting inappropriately with minors so on and so forth so for me it's a red flag i have to i have to think about that i have to keep note of that because either one it's because he really doesn't like it and he wants to show that he really doesn't like it by saying it that way or two because he's compensating and it's not necessarily true and this is where it gets to be a little bit more nuanced with nonverbal communication because you could see and observe and hear a behavior like that and then you have to find out why that behavior is that way let's keep watching to see if there's anything that unveils itself and then we'll we will have a synopsis time at the very end of the video hope has always been to be in a relationship with somebody around my age or older that i can relate to and that can make me laugh and unfortunately i have not been all that i can say is that he's doing a lot of no shaking during this time which doesn't necessarily mean that he's lying it is possible desynchronization he's saying that i want to do this i do do this so on and so forth that should be a positive affirmation nod but he's using a negative in america's culture at least a negative no shake i want to do this i do do this so on and so forth it's even uncomfortable for us to do verbally ourselves to say that we will do something and shake our head no it's just uncomfortable in american culture no shakes and yes shakes and all that they can change from culture to culture but james is functioning largely in american culture so that is a fairly reliable tell that being said that doesn't mean he's lying but at very least it is a noted point of desynchronization and one that we should question we should absolutely question that part because it could be desynchronized could be a leakage of deceit able to find that person yet but the idea of actually being in a relationship became so important to me that i was willing to trust too quickly miss out on red flags and most importantly not take the precautionary measures that really anybody but especially somebody with a public platform all that i'm going to note here is that i'm paying so much attention to why his body language has spiked there's a massive spike in his animation he's suddenly projecting a lot more he's also gesturing much more broadly and moving around and blinking more and expressing more and my question is why does that spike show up here why is it here is he more passionate about this area or is this an area that he's nervous about because there might be a lack of truth in it i don't know that for sure but there is a spike in his baseline from what we've seen earlier he's a lot more mellow during his normal times and now we're seeing a massive spike so why why is that the case and for me i would be inclined to be suspicious of this i would want to ask more questions like why are you now projecting so loudly why is this different from everywhere else before should be taking before talking to anybody and there's no excuse for that when i've watched videos in the past he does a little disgust expression there's no excuse for that it's also mixed in with a mouth shrug that's insecurity and sure that makes sense non-verbally to have that in relation to the words that he's saying that does make sense that would be synchronized then that's true there is no excuse for that and his emotional state at least represented by his body language is showing that he might also believe that people talking about serious topics such as this one it's always really bothered me when people would talk about such as this one he has a shoulder raise and a little bit of contempt coming to his face on that part and that's interesting to me why does he have those come in there why is he insecure and why does he also have contempt on his face does he feel like he's getting extra attention from this that's the feeling that i get from him but that's just my opinion the science doesn't show that that's just my opinion of what the science is showing so let's continue conclusions or changes that they're going to make without actually talking about how they got there in the first place so i think it's really important that i do that in this video i just honestly think that i owe it to you guys to kind of walk you through the reflection that i've been doing um so you know that i'm taking this seriously how i came to terms with my desperation and how it led me here in 2019 interesting he has trouble with the desperation side of things still i have to ask that question why is he having so much trouble saying that he's desperate is it because it's not comfortable for a person to admit that they're desperate or because that's not the actual issue at hand that's the question so far from what i understand james has shown a pattern of reaching out inappropriately to underaged people and if that pattern is true then where he's showing these issues with using the word desperate or desperation or saying that that's the conclusion he came to then that means that that's not true it's actually deceit if the pattern holds up there's the chance that he's breaking the pattern and he's uncomfortable with it but patterns are easy to hold it's very difficult to break a pattern so i'm leaning towards he might be lying in this instance he might be seeping a little bit of deceit through this but there's not enough for me to really hang that on scientifically right now that's just an opinion that i have let's see if there's anything else that pops up in this video i mean my dating life became even more public than it already was when i was called out and labeled as a predator you guys i feel like at this point all know the story so i don't want to go back into details a lot of eye blocking in there a lot of a desire a subconscious desire to distance oneself it also goes back to even if you could think of when you were a child and you didn't like what was going on the easiest thing to do would be to cover your eyes to not see not experience not to be in that moment and this is the subconscious leakage of something that exists from very very early early ages is this desire to shut off and close off negative things threats danger so on and so forth so when we see that displayed here he's literally subconsciously trying to shut off himself from that negative side of things is it understandable maybe but is it an excuse no but pretty much i had to get on camera and prove that i was being lied to i had all the receipts to back it up but at the time i also recognized that i definitely needed to change the way i was going about dating because clearly something was not working and in that video i made a vow and a promise to myself and to you guys as the audience that i would be way more careful moving forward and that promise was not one that i kept i'm gonna be honest with you guys at the time it's true that's where i was saying that pattern has shown up he said that he was going to do better moving forward he didn't which then also begs the question is he going to do better after this one moving forward uh well according to the pattern no and according to some of his body language that he's been showing not likely but there is still that chance there is still a chance let's keep watching that i posted no more lies i really thought that like the only issue was kind of like the straight guys and being lied to um but i now realized that it was obviously a much deeper problem and i really wish that at that time i had big gulp there as well deeper problem and it's interesting the deeper problem that he's talked to us about is that he's desperate which is a deeper problem and could be for him that could be a massive thing for him but it's it doesn't seem to me that it would invoke such a massive need for a nervous anxiety display like that that massive of a gulp in relation to being desperate for attention i don't know if that's necessarily true long story short it's a red flag for me spent the time to sit down look at myself in the mirror and try to get to the root of the problem and understand why i was actually allowing myself to get into these situations instead of just brushing it off and saying like it's the straight guys and it's the line but like i said i didn't and as time progressed my desire for a relationship never really went away and i slowly started ignoring red flags again and also ignoring my friends and the important people around me that warned me that i was going to get hurt and to them i also feel like i really owe an apology because big guy block in there once again subconscious desire to separate oneself from whatever they're talking about i should have listened and i feel like if i did we probably wouldn't be here today looking back now and just trying to a lot of shame expression during that looking down also lip compression binding back negative emotions so on and so forth he probably does regret not listening to the people around him that's not the question here though we're not asking if he regrets not listening to the people around him we're here to see if he's lying during his apology do my best to piece this all together in my head i think that my lack of experience when it came to dating growing up and then all of a sudden having a lot of attention from different types of men some for good reasons and some for bad reasons really affected me in ways that i didn't quite understand um i honestly just thought that i had really really bad luck and that i was being taken advantage of when that wasn't the case at all and i had the mentality that i could reach out to literally anybody and use my explore page and for you page as a dating app and eventually i would just happen to find the right person but that's just not how dating works literally at all uh it's so you can see in his eyebrows he has that universal anger expression mini expression up there and then down at the lower half of his face you can see that he has disgust slipping in around his nose and this could be in relation to what he's talking about perhaps he's disgusted by his naivety that would make sense to me that's how i would probably interpret it myself but it's still left up for interpretation let's keep watching gross it's weird and it's desperation i just really thought it was important to share my thought process and the conversations that i've been having with myself and professionals i will note i know it was just a second ago he did have trouble again saying desperation again by this point you would think that it would maybe come to him a little bit easier to say desperation he's already said it three or four times but he's still having difficulty with it so there's some sort of mental block there a really big mental block that's causing him to have verbal difficulty getting to the word desperation and it doesn't seem to be that it would be the emotion behind the desperation that doesn't seem to be what would cause that big of a psychological hurdle for him there must be something else there there must be something else that he's either not addressing or he's not willing to address or he doesn't know to address himself there's always the chance that he's leaking stuff that he doesn't know about himself yet our brains have a lot to them our minds have a lot to them and it is possible for people to start leaking emotions centered around things that they themselves are not consciously aware that they have it's a possibility we all have for instance like a subconscious bias in and of ourselves towards people towards anybody who's not like us that happens everywhere even if you're not aware of it it still happens so there's that possibility that it could be that sort of thing maybe there's an issue that's deeper that he simply is unwilling to or unable to see right now behind the scenes in order to help myself fully understand the situation so i could properly hold myself accountable for how i got here in the first place when these videos started to come to light power imbalance became a really large topic of conversation on social media and when he says power imbalance he has disgust or contempt flash into the side of his face here all the way up to his eye you could see it in his nose and his mouth and in his eye why why is my question what's the issue behind the power imbalance does he have disgust for that or does he have disgust for the people that there's power and balance towards so on and so forth it's just something that we've noted we understand pretty solidly what james's nonverbal repertoire is in regards to this video at least in my opinion let's keep watching to see what else unveils itself rightfully so in 2019 when i had my whole situation i was accused of abusing my fame money and power to get what i wanted and when i responded to that at the time i said that that was disgusting and then i would never want to do that and to this day i still stand behind that sentiment one thousand percent so when it was getting brought up again i i don't know i feel like he's still compensating verbally in this area though i do understand also why he would want to compensate verbally in this area it is a very atrocious thing to be accused of and if you're innocent why would you ever want to welcome anything in from that side of things but if you're also not innocent of it which we have seen him now multiple times be not innocent of it the question is why are you compensating so much again you said this is an apology so why are you trying to distance yourself still and convince us so much that you don't feel what you've done multiple times it's really interesting to me it doesn't ring as authentic to me but that is really more straining into my opinion side of things the more nuanced side of numberable communication reading got really really frustrated i was trying to understand because i was thinking to myself like okay i know that this situation shouldn't have happened i know that i this conversation shouldn't have occurred i take responsibility for that but at the same time like they dm'd you first they lied to you they flirted first like you didn't use your fame money and power to get anything but i've now realized that that mentality is completely raw because the power imbalance can happen even when it's not intentional that's true it can be unintentional but oh well what i wasn't getting before is that the excitement that comes with talking to a celebrity is literally enough to make somebody do or say something that they normally wouldn't even if that celebrity isn't intentionally weaponizing their fame money or power and that's the concept that you can see him doing an extreme defensive gesture as he keeps his shoulders raised it's different than a shrug which is an instance or a partial shrug which is an instance it's a defensive gesture where it narrows your accessibility to the neck this is built into our brains as a defensive mechanism from back when there were more physical threats believe it or not your neck is a very vulnerable part of you there's a lot of arteries it's a very soft easily attacked area of the mostly soft and easily attacked human body so when he's doing this that's eliminating that chance of being attacked and that's a subconscious thing this can now be evolved into such a point that it's for emotional or psychological threats as well so when you see this happening if you're talking to anybody and they start doing this hunch up thing as you can see i'm doing here and you see their necks starting to disappear they're very defensive about what they're talking about why that's a good question to ask just wasn't getting but i now do even though i'm able to turn off my social media and just talk to somebody outside of the spotlight about something normal in normal clothes and no makeup on as james dickinson that doesn't change the fact that to them i'm still james charles and that's something that i can't turn off for me having a public platform has become such a huge part of my life that at this point it does feel normal but i have to understand that to 99.9 of people it's not normal and will never be normal and that's where the power imbalance lies that i wasn't understanding but i'm so glad that i finally do because like i said in 2019 taking advantage of that power imbalance is something that i would never big eye blocking gesture i'm so glad that i finally do it is something to make note of i'm not sure as to why it's there exactly but it is an eye blocking gesture we've seen it come in multiple times throughout the rest of this apology and we do know that it is an indicator of a desire to subconsciously separate yourself from whatever is being talked about so inferring from that literally inferring this isn't a guarantee this is an opinion inferring from that we could assume that he might not actually feel what he's saying there he might not actually be telling the truth here this could be possible nonverbal misalignment possible leakage of deceit ever want to do but unintentionally was with this situation blowing up there are a lot of people speaking about this online whether it be sharing their opinions he doesn't have a lot of happiness about the with this situation blowing up very small amount of contempt slips into his mouth and he has his fluttering eye blink showing discomfort he's not really happy about this and he feels above it which is interesting that he feels above this situation blowing up arguing back and forth or most importantly holding me accountable for my actions i understand that posting this video today is not going to stop those conversations but it's going to spark more of them and that's something that i am completely okay with because i really feel like these are topics that we need to be speaking about a lot more i also want to make it clear too that through uploading this video today my hope and my expectations are not to you know press post and then forget about it and move on and wash my hands as if nothing happened because something did happen and what happened was not okay and i don't want to just forget about it i thought i just heard something in the background i will have to notice this in post while i'm editing this because like i said it's so so soft but i thought i just heard something happening in the background i don't know where his studio is but there's something that happened there maybe it's outside perhaps maybe he has a pet or maybe he's not alone like he said earlier and then once again that raises the question why did he say that he was alone um i should have been more careful in every single way when it comes to the ways that i was looking for a relationship i didn't do the proper research and for that i'm once again ashamed and embarrassed i can't take it back as much as i wish i'm not sure about that he said that i am ashamed and embarrassed he was shaking his head slightly which that could be in relation to the negative emotions centered around that but also he starts smiling a little bit as well and this could be seen as perhaps duping delight where when a person is lying they unconsciously and almost unwillingly will smile because they feel like they are pulling the wool over somebody's eyes it's unintentional and it's quite common in a lie if you could see that happening if you could catch it happening it's a genuine expression of happiness in relation to a successful lie it could be the case there i just find it interesting that he said he's ashamed and embarrassed and he smiles maybe it's a nervous response that is also true people will smile and laugh in regards to something they're nervous about it's really really common honestly regardless we saw that there we've noted it there and we would have to ask questions as to why basically i hope what you're seeing here is that you should never just take a person's apology at face value because there's so many opportunities for them to be just blowing smoke up your ass let's finish up this video and then we'll summarize that i could but i am really really glad that i now fully understand the situation so i'm able to do better in the future and i really hope to show that to you guys a lot of verbal stuttering there he's having difficulty in that and i'm betting it's because he doesn't fully understand the situation or he hasn't fully expressed the situation something around that it's something with the situation that's causing him to have this verbal stuttering so i don't know i don't buy that he fully understands it or that he's fully expressing it at least something is going on there that i don't buy i'm suspicious of that i'm a firm believer that when scandals or situations like this happen you can get on camera and upload an apology video where you say sorry a million times all day long but the only way to actually show and prove that you are sorry is through action and change and i'm going to change this whole situation has been so embarrassing and i'm ashamed but like i said i'm now educated and fully understand what went on and i'm making a promise to all of you right now on so he said again that he fully understands what went on and he still has verbal stuttering verbal difficulty with that there's psychological processing that's causing that that's why people verbally stutter over stuff is because their brains are worrying a million miles a minute they can't talk as easily so what is causing that why is he having that verbal stuttering there i don't think that he fully understands or that he's fully presenting everything that's going on as he should but speaking on his words he's very very right an apology video is never going to fix the problem or show that the person means it it will show that they are taking steps perhaps to mean it but the only thing that will really show james's authenticity is if he changes him changes his actions and breaks the pattern that he's already developed so far we have some issues in this apology but we'll talk about those in a second camera that i will be way more careful moving forward with every single person that i speak to my for you page and explore page are not dating apps and i will stop treating them as if they are i also have already started asking for proper identification from every single guy that is either reached out or that i was speaking to and will continue doing so for the rest of time i now understand the root of the problem i understand how and why i and only i cause myself to get into this situation i understand that this could have and should have been easily avoided and i also understand that i need to be aware of my platform at all times i didn't understand how a situation like this could affect the people involved but now i do and for that to the victims i am so so sorry and i promise that something like this will never ever happen again i also feel like i owe an apology to during this time he's at least confident with what he's saying is he genuine can't really say is he authentic so far his body language is synchronized which is an indicator of authenticity but it's still something that we can't say for sure but the synchronized nods with the words and the increased eye contact this could be seen as authenticity however that being said everybody knows that the looking of the eyes is not an indicator of deceit a lot of people will go under the very old and very very disproven idea that if somebody looks around a lot then they're lying but it's also just as likely that if somebody who looks around more often and then locks eyes is also lying in this case it might be a compensation side of things he's really trying to hammer that home perhaps he's not so certain about his ability to hold up that side of things so he has to hammer at home in his apology we don't know regardless we've made note of it we're almost done here friends family team members and also fans that had to watch this all go down again to all of you guys i once again wish that i had listened earlier on um you guys saw this and i didn't and i'm really really sorry for not taking that seriously and not being a better person and a better role model like i promised that i would be i'm going to be taking some time away to reflect and further we heard a noise in the background again maybe it's his chair i'm not sure regardless we're hearing noises in the background just interesting to me also i will make a quick note about the cuts we've seen multiple cuts throughout this and that makes sense if there's an outline that he's referring to he has to refer to that outline prepare what he's about to say and then deliver it so there's going to be a cut where he's referring to the outline and that kind of makes sense throughout the rest of the video as well every time that we see those cuts and that also makes sense as to why it might sound a little bit more rehearsed because chances are the way that he's doing this is he sits down and he's like i am so so sorry blah blah blah goes off on a spiel and then he'll probably sit there and run through an outline off to the side which we've seen him refer to multiple times it'll be like okay i've got an idea of what i'm going to say and then he'll dive right back into it so that's probably what's going on with those cuts in there it doesn't seem to be centered around emotion it doesn't seem to be centered around any tactful area of the apology itself to be maybe hiding something or removing something intentionally if you know what i mean so that's something that i have seen and i have made note of so if you've seen it as well that's the most likely explanation for it educate myself on these topics i think at this point it's really important that i do so so i'm able to follow through with my word and prove to you guys that i will be he's feeling really confident here you can see that with a lot of the bounciness in his entire body he's kind of bouncing while he's talking about it and the gravity-defying gestures are an indicator of confidence at times so when he's saying that he's doing all this he's really feeling like he's done a great job on this apology and he's really hit all the points that he needs to and he's feeling great he's feeling really good so he's bouncing and you could see that happen just about anywhere say you're a consumer and you go to a car lot and then you start showing that you might want to buy a car that a car salesman is talking to you about well watch their body language and see how many gravity-defying gestures they do their eyebrows will go up they'll start moving a lot more they'll become more animated all these things that gravity would normally just prevent gravity-defying gestures can be an indicator of excitement and confidence so likely he feels he nailed this he probably feels he nailed this interview covered all the points he wanted to set it all well so on and so forth let's talk about that right after the next 17 seconds better person even though i won't be here posting i do want people to know that i will still be here available listening and learning at this point if you made it all the way through the video i really appreciate it and just wanted to say thank you for listening and i hope to never disappoint you again see you soon big eye blocking gesture after that as well i hope to never disappoint you again does a big eye block he knows that he's probably going to disappoint us again and chances are most everybody that you've seen an apology from will disappoint you again so quick synopsis of james charles i don't fully buy that he's going to hold up to the words that he said he hit a lot of perfect verbal points excellently i might add he showed that he thought about it he said that it was his fault and nobody else's fault so on and so forth to face value this was a perfect apology and that would make sense because he's also coached people on how to give apologies but after you chip away just a little bit at that top coating you see a writhing pool of insecurity uncertainty possible deceit misalignment so on and so forth so what my synopsis is my opinion this is separate from the science this is based off the science but it's still an opinion my opinion is that there's something else that's looming in this area that there's a deeper issue that he has this pattern for a reason and he's having difficulty acknowledging that pattern perhaps it scares him perhaps it's something that he's not aware of but it's a pattern that he has shown multiple times and that he now has to break so that's interesting once again it's easier to keep a pattern going than it is to break one so that would be my synopsis is that he gave the perfect apology but it might not have been sincere not at least totally and there's a lot of nonverbal communication to kind of back up that insincerity that lack of security that lack of certainty in his own words there's some blocking gestures in there there's some disgust in certain areas there's some verbal areas where he compensates pretty largely on important areas it's very very interesting to me so from this point on i wouldn't take this if you're a james charles fan i would not really take this apology extremely seriously i don't really buy it while it is almost flawlessly delivered that doesn't mean that it's sincere and he has cracks in it i said almost flawlessly for a reason there are issues with it so keep your eye out be very wary he's already shown very poor decision making twice at least twice that i know of maybe there's more and maybe there's more than any of us are even privy to but for that specific area with those sorts of implications and this pattern showing up i don't really buy this apology too much and i feel like there's probably something big coming up and i don't think it's very good i really don't think it's very good i hope you enjoyed this analysis i hope this made sense to you maybe it brought a little bit of light to things if you disagree with me that is totally that's totally okay my opinions are just really my opinions i tried to show you what the science shows and then give you my opinions and frankly you could disagree and there's the chance that i could be wrong nonverbal communication reading is at best 70 to 80 accurate so there's that little margin for me to be very very wrong and if you have a different opinion or you are privy to knowledge that i am not let me know in the comments below and hopefully we'll get some good discussion going on about this if you did like this video hit the like button hit subscribe if you would like to see more if you want to see them faster hit the bell button but also the bell button kind of helps you know when i do a live stream i do live streams kind of sporadically and the only way that you really know about it is via the bell button and then they disappear on patreon after that so if you want to see those and be a part of those that's how you can do that but but without further ado that's all that i've got for the day my name is logan and you have been oh so awesome as you always are and i will see you in the next video [Music] cheers
