So most of you just know me as a swell caster who does the occasional swells. You don't know much about me, and if you don't know much about me, you may not realize that I do have a disability, but of course you wouldn't know it through swell. And that disability is hearing impairment. Now, when I was younger, I used to look at this as a huge disadvantage and always feel inadequate

And all these things are really helpful, because I think body language just also shows what can't be spoken and what someone's feeling in a subconscious way that they don't even know their feelings. So it's not even about a choice. It's about sort of a deeper narrative that they're not even aware of yet. I did irritate myself a couple of years ago. I remember for something, and I watched my eyes kind of look up to the ceiling quite frequently when I was talking
