In her book, "The Art of Connection," Susan C. Young explores various behaviors that can raise questions about a person's reliability and trustworthiness. These behaviors include guarded body language, an absence of eye contact, and nervous fidgeting, all of which can signal discomfort and mistrust. Additionally, tendencies to interrupt, speak poorly of others, or share gossip can further indicate a lack of integrity. Such cues are essential for evaluating interpersonal connections.

Young emphasizes the importance of being aware of these negative behaviors as they can significantly impact interactions and relationships. Recognizing signs like lying and arrogance can help individuals navigate social situations and determine whom to trust. By understanding these traits, one can foster healthier, more sincere relationships that promote positive outcomes in personal and professional environments.
