People can control words and intonation, it is difficult to determine the true meaning of phrases from them. But through facial expressions you can find out what the interlocutor is hiding or embarrassed to say. With this knowledge, you will be able to communicate with people without stress and understand their attitude towards you.
Instructions
Step 1
Many facial movements are individual, some movements cannot be explained. You can only understand and read facial expressions well from familiar people, knowing their characteristics and habits. Indeed, one expression of someone shows a lie, and of another, embarrassment. Therefore, be careful, observe and study your acquaintances, and after that you will be able to recognize the meanings of facial expressions more accurately.
Step 2
Do not forget that many already know about reading facial expressions and may try to disguise this or that expression or imitate. But falsity can be easily recognized by the imbalance in the display of feelings on the face. If you observe very carefully, then in front of a fake mask, you can see for a second the true feelings of a person.
Step 3
A lot can be said by the lips of a person even without deep knowledge of the meaning of facial expressions. Curving the mouth to one side is a mockery, biting the lip is anxiety. When a person lies, he covers his mouth with his hand, often masking this gesture with a cough.
Step 4
A smile usually shows goodwill and sympathy, but it comes in many varieties, and each means something different. Strong smile - the interlocutor is waiting for approval, a smile with raised eyebrows - a willingness to give in, a smile with lowered eyebrows - shows superiority. A crooked smile indicates nervousness and anxiety. If a person's lips are folded into a smile, but at the same time he does not blink, and his eyes widen, he is trying to threaten you.
Step 5
You can read emotions by facial expressions. Happy people have calm eyes, the corners of the lips are raised and laid back. Joy - the lips are curved with the corners pulled back, small wrinkles form near the eyes. The eyebrows are raised or lowered, and the eyelids are widened or narrowed. When surprised, people open their mouths a little in the shape of the letter O, raise their eyebrows and widen their eyes.
Step 6
Negative emotions are manifested in tense facial expressions. With disgust, a person wrinkles his nose, lowers his eyebrows, protrudes his lower lip or closes with the upper one. With anger, a person frowns, his nostrils widen, his mouth is tightly closed, his face turns a little red. Contempt manifests itself in an elongated and raised face, as if the person is looking down at the interlocutor, the eyebrows are raised, and he unconsciously moves away from the person.
