Typical angry cues are seen in the picture below. Sometimes we are so frustrated and angry we just want to pull our hair out. We see our eyes get small and sometimes our mouths open like we want to scream as loud as we can.

Happy

When we feel happy we are sometimes at peace. Our face seems to be relaxed and a smile can normally be seen on our faces.

Sad

Often this is the most easily recognizable emotion. When we are sad sometimes we are on the verge of tears. Our body fills with emotion and empathy sometimes because we feel bad about something, or something sad happens in our lives. Our smiles disappear quickly and a frown is normally seen with someone who is sad.

Confused

Confusion happens to all of us. Whether we are confused about a job assignment or what direction we are traveling, at some point we are all confused by something. Looking at the baby's face below confused normally leaves our face looking like this. Our eyebrows are raised as if we are questioning something. We might pinch our lips together and even see our foreheads crinkle slightly.

Bored

Don't we all remember those lecture halls in college? If this picture doesn’t scream bored I don’t know what does. Typical signs of boredom are the classic head slumped on your hands. Our attention is lost and we have trouble sitting up focusing on what we are hearing. We slump over, sometimes daydream or fall asleep because we have no interest in what we are seeing/hearing.

Surprised

Often things we were not expecting surprise us. Whether that is a new job promotion, a mess left behind by kids, or maybe new baby food! Often in our expression we typically open our mouth and take a gasp (that Oh my god feeling). We also tend to raise our eyebrows and our eyes widen as you see below

Depressed

We all feel depressed at some point in our lives. Whether it is after a break up or after receiving a bad grade. We always tend to want to be alone and not have anyone see us. In this picture below you can tell she is upset/depressed as her arms are folded and her head is down. She gives off the impression, just leave me be.
