Facial and body language is a HUGE part of in person communication. For better or for worse, that is just how the vast majority of humans are wired. If you willfully ignore these signals you WILL be misunderstood and you WILL misunderstand others. I hate that things are this way because of how much effort it takes for me to decipher these cues when a neurotypical person gets it from intuition, but it absolutely does exist and isn't going away any time soon.
