How to read People expression - face and eyes simple instructions

Reading the Eyes

1

Learn the different modes of facial expression. Start with the building block basics: what does anger, disgust or surprise look like? Realize that one building block of reading facial expressions is to discern that the words being spoken may not necessarily reflect the true inner emotions.

2

Watch foreign movies to build your facial reading skills. Study how the actors respond to different activities and situations. This is a way to "see" each emotion, because--unless the movie is subtitled--you'll be concentrating on nonverbal signals instead of dialogue.

3

Realize the meaning of the principle, "The eyes have it." For many people, the eyes reveal the emotions behind the words. Even if a person is angry and hiding it with polite words, a wrinkling at the edges--with the eyes held at half mast--tells a different story. So does the smile on a sad person trying to hide their tears in public, but is looking away. Learn to read these cues.

Reading the Face

1

Review facial expressions that signify emotions of happiness--including people with a wide open stare, who move in closer, show an unaffected smile or relax their eyebrows. Playing with hair is a positive sign for women. So is sitting up straight and extending a hand with an honest smile--this shows the person is receptive, not closing themselves away. Eye contact is increased and hands are open.

2

Listen carefully to whatever words are said, but examine the overall body and facial language--such as clenched teeth, angry piercing eyes or a set, hard mouth. Some people have subtle tics that worsen under stress.

3

Reading fear in faces can be discerned, even on a subtle level--pupils will dilate, the person's breathing will become deeper, the mouth will open wider to take in air and the eyes will wander around much more than usual.
