Welcome to the facial expressions section of the site!

Here you will find articles and information related to common face expressions.

You are welcome to explore the different headings and series below, the order is not really important. I do encourage you to do 2 things before you start though:

1. Check how to read body language first. It has some very important guidelines.

OK, let's start with...

It's a strong self expression

Our face is like a projector - It shows the world what's going on inside. You're happy - the face automatically wears the smile, you're sad - and your face "melts" down. I know it's kind of obvious, but think about it - nobody taught you how to smile or cry, and you don't think about doing it either, it's just happens...

Ugh...

Another important thing to remember is that micro expressions happen only in more critical situations, and not everyone makes them. Nevertheless, they can be an excellent indicator if someone's lying - if you can spot them, of course.

The Guide to the Essentials of Face Expressions

There's a lot see and understand from facial expressions and features. Luckily, most of it we instinctively know and understand, the exact "how" we leave for science to explore.

Still, there are some fines points I want to make clear so I organized a guide to the essential principles:

A good smile can go a long way... It's instrumental in creating good first impression and positive atmosphere. Read more in this articles:

Mouth and Lips Expressions

Universal Facial Expressions

There is a lot of debate about whether or not our face expressions are genetically inborn or do we learn them from our environment and culture. So far scientists discovered that they are both - some genetic and some are learned and refined . I won't discuss each face expression, either it's genetic or not... to tell the truth, I don't believe it's that important for us, the common people.

I do want to mention Professor Paul Ekman and his friend Wallace V Friesen, who did a lot of research on that matter and discovered that there are some common universal facial expressions, even in the remote parts of the world. I think that's great, because no one wants to be stuck in a place where he will seem like a complete alien.

If you want to learn more about universal facial expressions I invite you to see this video:

A persons body language can be used to determine the level of interest or disinterest the sender/receiver may have

Hi there and welcome.

In this section you can find all than you need to know about body language signs and their meanings.

To be more specific, this section of the site is about a more "permanent" and static signals in the behavior of men. It's about stances, positions and attitudes rather than one time gestures or quick face expressions.

In contrast - in the gestures section you will find mostly one timers or quick actions with specific meanings.

Why the separation? Simply because I believe it's easier to learn this way. Static body language signs are easy to observe and they change moderately, only when there's a change in the general mood or trail of thought of the person you observe. Gestures on the other hand are used as specific tools to make a certain point or as accidental nonverbal "leaks".

So what these body language signs can tell us?

A lot actually:

How comfortable or stressed a person currently, does he feel confident or insecure?

Where do we want to go, or whom we want to be with

Relations and power struggles between superiors and their subordinates

How sociable and approachable someone is.

How "in-tune" someone is with us and what is his\her sort of interest.

In short - you can get lots of good indicators about the state of mind simply by observing his posture, lay of head and the position of his limbs.

Alright, I won't chew your ear off with further introductions, let's jump straight to the series:

Head Signals

Posture and Attitude

How your posture how others see and judge you, how to improve it?

Hand and Arms Positions

Be it behind the back or in front of your crotch, it does say something about you.

- What to do with the hands, when there's nothing to actually do..?

Leg Positions

Body Language of the legs, the most honest part of our body. Seriously.

Sitting
