The Microexpressions - Strategy number 3 focuses on the more
obvious facial expressions that take place during the

communication process, but there’s another aspect to what
psychologists refer to as display rules which play a very vital
role when it comes to letting others know just how you feel.
Perhaps even what you’re thinking. These very tiny facial
movements are known as microexpressions, and they tend to

concentrate on the areas specifically around the mouth and the
eyes. These microexpressions, along with the rest of your facial
expressions, can completely contradict what you’re saying and

anyone who is skilled at reading nonverbal cues will be able to
pick up on this immediately. A person may be under the
impression they’re doing a good job of concealing the fear that
they have when they’re trying to impress the person they’re
talking to, but the ever so slight pullback of the muscles around

the mouth area will give away just how anxious they feel on the
inside. The dangerous thing about microexpressions is that they
don’t just happen when a person is feeling nervous or anxious.

They also take place when someone is lying. Hiding a little white
lie is not so easy when your little facial muscles are giving you
away.

Raising Eyebrows - There are only three main reasons (and
emotions) that would make someone raise their eyebrows. They
either feel surprised, afraid or worried. The next time you’re in a

relaxed and casual conversation with a friend, try raising your
eyebrows and see if it’s easy to do. You might come off looking
strange at best. When someone is talking to you and the
conversation doesn’t involve a topic that would either cause fear,

surprise or worry yet they have their eyebrows raised, keep your
antennas up because something else could be going on beneath
the surface.
