      … anyone who is naturally expressive and has genuine, authentic responses that go against whatever current sociocultural norms are?

      Hey, popular person told a dumb, offensive joke, that validates my internal insecurities by projecting derision outward onto some kind of minority group!

      (Face twists up into disgust, shock, and maybe pity)

      WTF is wrong with you, popular person is funny! We hate you now!

      Body language in general.

      Dogs wag their tails in order to spread their happy pheromones by waving furiously. They unconsciously want everyone to know they are having a good time. When they are scared, they tuck their tail between their legs in order not to spread their stress pheromones by moving the air around their glands.
