My second teapot is a non-noticeable language

$begingroup$
after 200 views without the answer: links are buttons , And years ago is probably 200- 500 years. non-noticeable means nobody really cares

Is the teapot a
cuff
My first teapot is a non-spoken language
My second teapot is a non-noticeable language
When you cuff someone, that is a non-verbal statement. Cuffs on your sleeves are not as noticeable as they once were
My first teapot is hurting
My second teapot hurts only by minimal links
When you cuff someone, it might hurt. Cuffs with out enough links can cause problems
My first teapot draws attention
Years ago my second teapot has drawn attention
Cuffing someone will get their attention. Cuffs on sleeves used to be attention getters.
Final hint
You can cuff someone in a friendly or non-friendly manner, wearing cuff links used to be a sign of wealth.

links that are too small are way to hard to button up, i hurted myself often times.... when did you get to your answer?

After you said links are buttons, ironically, I eventually thought of sleeves and cuffs and links!

Are you..
gesture?
My first teapot is non-spoken language
My second teapot is non-noticeable language
first: body movement, second: monetary gift, not noticeable physically
My first teapot is hurting
My second teapot hurts only by minimal links
first: gesturing too much will end in sore muscles, which hurts! second: hurts only your wallet, not your body.
My first teapot draws attention
Years ago my second teapot has drawn attention
first: gesturing draws attention to you, second: monetary gifts have become so usual, such a gesture is not likely to draw public attention anymore (uhhhhhhmm... yeeeeahhhh...)
final hint:
My first teapot is a sign of friendship
My second teapot is a sign of wealth
----
first: using your hands when you speak is maybe more agreeable/friendly to listen to? second: gifting money sure shows your wealth
additional note:
I am not sure if in English, gesture can mean a (monetary) gift too. If not, please let me know and I'll remove my answer again. I'm okay with posting a wrong answer (I know it is) but not one that does make no sense ;)
$begingroup$
i think your answer makes sense! The meaning is there in English too.

As i said, I wouldn't delete it just because it's wrong. Since apparently the meaning is there too in English, this answer stays forever :)

I thought about this one for a while. Is it
Tribute?
It has 2 meanings that somewhat match the hints. First is
A non-spoken gesture of appreciation (why does it hurt though?..)
And the second is
payment from one nation to another, usually for protection
Well, at least I tried :)
$begingroup$

To leave a place is body language (though it can also be spoken with the word "goodbye").
My second teapot is non-noticeable language

Stumped on this.
My first teapot is hurting

If you leave a relationship, the consequences can be hurtful.

Ripping up leaves can "hurt" them, but to a minimal extent, of course.

Leaving a place can draw attention, depending on what place/event you leave (e.g. your friend's birthday party), or how you have left (e.g. expelled from school).
Years ago my second teapot has drawn attention

Stumped on this one, too.
I haven't looked at the final hint... should I?

@Jannis Hah, I just realised that "left" and "right" are both teapot words (if that's what you call 'em) :D

more or less,: leave (go) and leaves (forest), left (went) and left (side) and right(correct) and right(side) are all teapots. They're not perfectly for my riddles, since hard to explain sides, but useable
