When someone tells you that you “look tired”, what exactly are they seeing?

I know things like dark circles or bags under the eye can indicate tiredness, but what is the body doing to make it happen?

Slumped shoulders, moving just a little slower than usual, less facial expression, there’s a lot of little things that you can pick up from body language

One thing that tells me when someone looks tired is when they behave less excitedly or less energetically than they usually do. Or when they seems to not be paying attention to what I am saying is another example. Its more about behaviour than looks.

Bags under the eyes, slouched posture, slow rate of speech. LPT, I once told someone they looked tired on a first date when I wasn’t thinking, don’t do that! Apparently some women read a lot into that comment beyond them literally looking tired.
