there are billions of people in the
world as each and every one of them is
unique each and every one of us is
absolutely unique from the length of
their nose to the size of our eyes to
the width of our mouth everything the
part of us is different but there is one
thing we all have in common and that is
facial expressions facial expressions
are a huge part of everyday life there
are the large expressions like a
two-year-old throwing a temper tantrum
or a teenager who just found out she got
a car or a boss who found out that one
of his workers is sleeping on the job
these are all expressions that we see in
everyday life and the ones that we
understand from the moment from two to
three years old but there are also micro
expressions expressions that only last
half a second then disappear expressions
that if you can spot them you will know
exactly what is going through a person’s
head and and know exactly what their
emotion is no matter what they say 60
years ago a man named dr. Paul Ekman
started researching body language and
facial expressions
he became the leading deception
detection expert when he found out that
if you slow down the video of someone
talking like in a police investigation
you see expressions that no one has ever
seen before and he coined the term micro
expressions he has written two books and
co-written another about body language
and facial expressions and he has a huge
website full of different curriculums
like you can use so you can learn about
it he’s also taught many FBI and CIA
agents how to read expressions for
protection and lie detection there are
seven main expressions that you see
everywhere you go and our universal no
matter where you go
starting with sadness sadness is
drooping of the upper eyelids I’m losing
focus in the eyes that is very important
if there is no foe if you’re there still
very focused on you when they’re seeing
something or even if there’s tears
running down their face if they are
focused directly on you they are not
actually sad and a slight bowing down of
the little corners that’s fear fear is
one of the most complex expressions with
eyebrows raised and pulled together
raised upper eyelids tensed lower
eyelids and lips stretch back
horizontally to the ears you can usually
see a little bit of teeth anger is
eyebrows down together and an eyes
either an intense or maybe a little less
glare depending on how angry the person
is and a narrowing of the lips and
everything is tense the whole face and
even the whole body discussed is nose
wrinkling and upper lip raised and
actually you can’t wrinkle your nose
without your upper lip going up a little
bit others contempt is the only
asymmetrical expression out there that
is only a lip corner tightened and
raised only on one side of the face some
people think disgust and contempt are
interchangeable they’re not disgust is
sensory orientated which means whenever
someone hears a bad sound or smell
something icky or taste something
disgusting disgust is what comes out
contempt however is anger and hate if
you see a contempt expression even if
it’s just for a little bit you might
another surprise which is eyebrows
raised eyes widened mouth open true
surprise only lasts a couple of seconds
if it’s more than that then either
they’re faking it or they just really
want you to know that you were there you
were surprised there’s my favorite
expression happiness a true smile always
has coffee wrinkles around the eyes and
actually there’s movement of the muscle
right here near the eye and pushed up
cheeks and of course the lip up if the
if there is no cofee wrinkles then it is
a pasted smile and you can you should
actually usually see their true
expression or to feeling behind that
pasted smile hand gestures are another
thing that show expression whether we
want to or not a hands on the foreheads
is shame this is by the side anger hands
behind the back
confidence especially for a guy hands
together or rubbing of the opposite hand
self-assurance as a shoulder shrug or a
hand truck means that person who’s lying
reading expressions especially
micro-expressions
is really really hard you can’t just
listen to a talk or read a couple of
books and then go out and know exactly
what a person is thinking I should know
I thought I could do this I thought I
could figure it out really quickly and
it is really hard but it is really good
just either just watching people go
throughout their day or talking someone
one-on-one this is something that you
can use in every situation for example
if at a school you are trying to figure
out if there’s bullying going on you can
either talk to who you think might be
the bully or who you think
be the bullied and just ask them a
point-blank question and if even if they
lie you can use the micro expressions to
figure out what they’re really feeling
like with the bully if you maybe see
like contempt or anger when you ask them
if they’re bullying then you might be on
to something or if the kid who’s being
bullied you can ask him are you being
bullied and even if he says oh no but
you see a flash of fear or to sadness
then he probably is or with a
relationship when you are in a
relationship it’s pretty good to know
what the other person is feeling so that
you can so that you can be so you so
that you can be the right person for
them and see if you are a good match but
don’t overanalyze your best friend or
your or the person you’re in a
relationship with just I mean you can
use it but don’t overuse it don’t always
go oh you’re you’re lying or that’s not
exactly what you’re feeling don’t do
that because that’ll ruin a relationship
very fast just make sure that you know
the person that you are with and that
you understand what they’re feeling and
maybe you can help them with sadness or
something they’re afraid of you can help
them through that I believe that how
many people is very very important and
understanding people is a huge part of
life and you can use these expressions
to understand people in a very unique and amazing way
world as each and every one of them is
