Absolutely. If someone really wants to deceive someone else, they're can't just rely on speech and body language, emotion plays a part.

Very true. That's why the best manipulators are those that can not only lie and read body language, but control the emotions of someone else, as well.
Hence why most master manipulators are women. They have an advantage when it comes to manipulating men.

You would be lacking emotional intelligence. Were you lacking emotion or empathy, you would likely be more aggressive, anti-social, narcissistic and classed as a psychopath, simply a danger to society. Study has shown this over and over.

This is very true. I'm an emotional little bitch when I want to be, but cover it up very nicely.

Yeah. That's what human manipulation is all about. There's no one that has no emotions whatsoever. Unless you're a psychopath or whatever it's called. And even then, they do have emotions, just different than ours.
It's perfectly possible to neglect your emotions, though. Although not all of them, since some are primary to your being, like falling in love.

This reminds me of what a girl told to me. She said who will ever know what is going on behind your brown eyes. Neutral on the outside since I know you. lol
