    Pointing your toes together is also just straight up body language, that you can see irl.

    An exaggerated version of that is a trope in manga/anime often used to suggest shyness, introversion or a lack of confidence.

      Thank you for the response.

      Hence, “fake”, I mentioned. And it’s been always just disturbing to me, and suggesting lack of any trust due to possible manipulation strategy.
      It doesn’t feel like suggesting “shyness” or something closer but simply immature, manipulative, and luring indeed, to avoid of.

        To you.

        These are your impressions.

        You should rethink how much your feelings can reliably say about what others feel or intend.

            Um. No?

            That where people point their feet has meaning in the context of human body language is not a personal observation. Look it up.

            Same goes for media tropes and charachter design principles.
