· Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer then it would naturally, and then stops suddenly. This indicates the person is faking his/her emotions
· Some gestures and motions timing will be off.
For example: when someone told you their having a surprise party for you and you walk in and act surprised before or after they yell surprise.
· Gestures/emotions don’t go along with what they are telling you.
Example: Smiling while saying, “that is so sad”
· When someone is faking their emotions, their facial expression is limited to a mouth movement. For example: when someone smiles for real, their whole face is involved, but when they fake smile, mostly the mouth is involved.
· When a person attempts to conceal anger, or any strong emotion, their face will display the emotion for a split second. These expressions are called "micro expressions." Very few people ever notice these because they are so inconspicuous.
· The micro expressions are universal. Every person on Earth will display the same micro expressions while attempting to conceal specific emotions.
· Some muscles located in your face are not under conscious control. Thus, your face will display these micro expressions and you will be completely oblivious.
· People will subconsciously catch micro expressions, but since they have not been trained to decode these micro expressions, they will be oblivious that they saw them. When people claim that they have a “gut feeling” that someone is lying, it’s because they subconsciously catch these micro expressions. These micro expressions
are below the threshold of conscious awareness for most people, and consequently the average person can not identify them, or even establish that they even saw them.
With this information you should now be able to determine whether someone is sincerely “happy for you” when you win money or accomplish something, and if someone is truly sad about your adversity. If you ever catch someone with contradicting emotional gestures, under most circumstances you probably should not confront them about it. They will always deny it, and the person will end up getting mad at you.
