Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
Micro-expressions belong to a branch of social psychology, which refers to the instantaneous flash of facial expressions, revealing only a person's feelings and emotions from subtle changes, thus "leaking" other relevant information.
The "micro" of "micro-expression" is reflected in its maintenance time can reach 1/25 of a second, is an unconscious instantaneous information, and is uncontrollable to non-professionally trained people, this facial expression is very important in human interaction, it can guide us to combine language to detect each other's emotional changes and implied behavioral signals.
The human face is the medium of the surface of human nature, is the transmitter of emotions, including our facial structure and muscle change characteristics, equivalent to a person's "business card", we can determine whether we like a person through "micro-expressions", or understand the changes in their inner emotions.
Because an emotional event is awakened and reacts quickly and can be difficult to suppress, it helps us identify nonverbal behaviors and explore their inner feelings and motivations. A person who makes these 3 "micro-expressions" and movements to you shows that he hates you in his heart.
Pick your eyebrows
The muscle tissue between the eyebrows can change through our mood changes, such as horizontal eyebrows to indicate hostility to a person, squeezing eyebrows to show indifference and ridicule of the other party, and low eyebrows indicating obedience.
And when a person raises an eyebrow at you, it means that he is dismissive of you in his heart, usually indicating negative emotions. The eyebrows are also divided into many types, when the outside of the eyebrows is pulled upwards, it indicates that it hopes to attract the attention of the other party, including hostility and opposition to the other party.
Eyebrows are lowered and gathered, indicating unhappiness and disgust, and even disgust that is difficult to hide.
Keep your distance sideways
Chinese compared to foreigners, their communication distance will be closer, when we like a person often hope to be able to have a certain sense of closeness with each other, or through certain body movements to show their liking for each other.
This is a signal sent out of trust, if a person is often on your side and keeps an appropriate distance, it means that the person's sense of guard against you is very strong, and his body will unconsciously move away from you.
Put your hands in front of you
Putting your hands in front of your body is considered by most people to be a very impolite gesture, as an emotional response resulting from impatience.
And for strangers, putting our hands in front of us is a self-protective action, but if the two are friends and have established a relatively familiar relationship, then this subconscious behavior is to show their disgust and disgust.
"Micro-expressions" are part of our "psychological stress", and are instinctively and unconcealed by people, even if they are masters of hiding emotions, they are good at forcing faces and smiling.
However, most of the instantaneous "micro-expressions" cannot be completely restrained, so we can understand the other party's heart through the "micro-expression" of the other party, and even determine whether the other party likes themselves in the eyes.
Under the publicity of the media, people also like and are good at using "micro-expressions", but "micro-expressions" are actually defined as "mind reading" from the perspective of real psychology, but this lack of basis for "micro-expressions" behavior, the probability of deviation is very large, so we want to learn "micro-expressions", we must establish a relevant psychological theoretical basis, in order to improve the probability of our judgment.
The real authoritative "micro-expression" and "mind reading" are a science and far more complex than we think, and this authoritative mind reading system is based on anatomy.
Psychologists through the study of human tissue, according to the human body's facial muscles, the face is divided into 46 "action units", through a large number of personnel research, to understand the human touch the heart and express emotions, the facial features of the movement points, so as to study the human "micro-expression" science.
When people are in an expressionless state, it is a "baseline situation", and after a certain psychological activity has an effect, it reflects on our face, and it will form a change in the "baseline situation" and the movement of the "action unit", and an action is often involved in a variety of emotional changes.
Therefore, we should pay more attention to the things we see in our daily life, and we must read each other's "faces", and keenly capture and correctly interpret them, which can help us improve our communication skills.
This combination of changes and movements, produced by the almost unlimited movement of the facial muscles, allows us to convey profound nonverbal messages in a matter of seconds, and this diversity and subtlety actually defines humans as complex animals.
Only by understanding a person's "micro-expressions" can we adjust our behavior and cognition to carry out smoother interpersonal behavior.
