Micro Expressions
- Expressions are a window into a person’s emotions.
- It is difficult to deceive with fake expressions because the face will give a person away with truthful and honest micro expressions.
- Micro expressions are ever present, but most people do not see them.
- A micro expression is a flash of emotion.
- If someone is asked how they are doing and they reply they are doing great when they are actually angry, they will flash a micro expression of anger, contradicting what they are actually saying.
- In essence, the face has a natural lie detector built right in it which will tell if someone is verbally lying.
- No matter how hard a person tries, they can't fake it out, or stop the true expressions from flashing themselves (unless of course they are a sociopath).
- Micro expressions flash across the face for less than a quarter of a second.
- A person may be uncomfortable expressing their true emotions or trying to conceal a particular emotion.
