The best piece of social advice my dad ever gave me was to not read into people's facial expressions too much. You never know what's going on in someone else's life and it might not have anything to do with you, even if you know them well.

That is great advice and it might even be environmental too!

Crossing arms can be standoffish or just someone being cold. A pained look could be about the interaction or just regular old pain.

Not to mention people have a range of behaviors involving the amount of eye contact and physical space, and they aren't always consistent!
