The steeple is a high confidence gesture, but it is rarely (if ever) seen while standing and/or walking. Combine that with the negative piercing of the lips- it all is not matching...

Got an email from Phil and he says, "I wanted to tell you that this gesture she is showing is part of her behavioral baseline, she's doing it all the time, no matter if she's sitting, standing, walking or talking... it is just her habit." Thanks for the info Phil.◦
