Eddie had to communicate with a lot of people to get where he is now. All those people have different personalities and different ideals. Such as talking professionally when he’s in a business meeting or when he is trying to restore his relationship with Lindy.

Such as greeting someone with a handshake or a kiss for example when Eddie meets Linda at the end at a restaurant. Another example of body positon is when Eddie was talking to Gennady his body position was showing no fear and having confidence when speaking to such a dangerous person.

Edward uses his time wisely to learn as much as he can so he doesn’t end up killed due to his dangerous situation. Edward only stays silent when his analyzing the situation however at times he becomes a bit too arrogant into thinking that he is smarter than everyone
