A trick to detect facial expressions easily


When talking about facial expressions, sometimes a little concerned how we will be able to identify 10,000 different keywords.
Even if we are able to determine the seven basic emotions (joy, anger, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust and contempt), the thing becomes difficult when microexpressions are so subtle that involve very small areas of the face for a split second that are incredibly small. 
How do some people to detect such small movements, in a face to face conversation without losing the thread of the verbal component? 

There's actually a trick that let me explain with an analogy: When you are learning to use a cell phone whose configuration is new to us, at first we felt a little "lost". As we learn where is the menu key, volume, how to completely silence messages and how to respond quickly, our brain is looking for a pattern of conscious use. 
The same happens with those facial expressions, but there is a small difference: we are born with the ability to detect them (which does not occur with the use of smart phones, unfortunately for modern man). Then, in the same way we learn to make conscious use of an electronic device to the point of becoming totally natural, it is possible to "set" the brain to read the faces of others. 
By custom, when speaking with a person, our gaze turns automatically on a triangle formed by the eyes and mouth, providing us all the information we think we need. But to obtain information from the surrounding muscles, it is mandatory to get used to see in an "X". Imagine, on the face of his interlocutor, a large X tattooed directly on the skin.This is the path they have to do on your face at all times ...! The reason is simple: in this way we will be aware of the movement of the muscles around the eyes and mouth, and we can more easily detect these tiny movements, whether they are unilateral. 
It is easier to catch microexpressions if you concentrate on the "X" forming eyebrows and.
For now, I recommend that you get used to do this exercise with all the people who talk to you. Did you see any movement of an eyebrow, a cheek, a corner that caught their attention? do not forget to comment.Remember that you can become a member of our community today!

Who is the leader of the pack?


In this case, two boys and three girls arranged almost linearly let us recall some features of the group hierarchy: 
- They are distributed in concentric designs. The center of the group as a privileged position to the alpha males and females rated the best is assumed; Partly for protection and also to be defined as the midpoint of the other members (and escuharlos to view them all without much effort). This distribution occurs naturally. 
- Who controls the herd maintains a security posture risky way of showing off; we could say that for humans the chin up is a symbol of dominance and superiority. In fact is associated with masculinity. 
If we take a look at the group, we note that the "core" of it is composed of three girls. Detailing them from left to right, the first (with cap) was shy and somewhat withdrawn note. As much as paint film archetypes to "alpha" of a joint venture as cold people hardly go unnoticed or are silent (which is what this girl intends to do). We would be the last two, arm in arm. Which one is the Alpha of the group? If we look to the right (number 4 of the team) has the decided step of all, chin up, open smile, holding her companion with arm and does not need a visual anchor in the eyes of other; She is a natural leader, the pacesetter.

First Date



1 - Dressed Impeccably : Your clothes, your hairstyle and your perfume should be absolutely perfect. Not only you will feel more secure; also transmit any interest in the person you are dating. 
2 - Use your body language: That sure can get a first date nerves ... Especially when it's someone you really like! But such simple gestures such as smiling and eye contact to establish a comfortable express your feelings. Remember the importance of your gestures to your communication. 

 3 - Create a connection: Ask questions about your hobbies, your passion or your family.Pay close attention to what he says! Avoid topics that visibly inconvenienced, and do not forget to narrate your own personal anecdotes. 
.
4 - Your charisma is based on how you express yourself. Make her feel special by telling us what you like about him, if you have a big smile and a good sense of humor, tell them! 
.
5 - Concrete future appointment: If things go well, why wait? invite her to go to a site that has to do with your tastes. Taking the initiative in this way will give the best impression of you.

How to make a Great first Impression

Did you know that within seconds of meeting someone for the first time, your appearance, body language and non-verbal communication will create a lasting first impression, and that person will assume to know everything about you? Like it or not, it's true and the work world demands making a great first impression and keeping it. Learn how to make a great first impression in this article from a human resources expert and image consultant.
In the Concise Oxford Dictionary, image is described as "the character or reputation of a person or thing as generally perceived". A first impression based on non-verbal communication goes a long way in influencing this perception. Within seconds of meeting you, based on a single observed physical trait or behavior, people will assume to know everything about you (as is explained in the 2003 book Social Psychology by H. Andrew Michener, John D. Delamater, and Daniel J. Myers). Furthermore, according to research by Dr. Albert Mehrabian of UCLA, appearance and body language (visual image) accounts for fifty-five percent of an invaluable first impression.

7 Tips to find out if he is into you.

You may know, through body language, if a man is really interested in being with you or wants to get out as soon as possible; keys are easy to detect because they involve  gestures,  general attitudes and positions:

1-He leans slightly toward you

The simplest tip of all: if he leans towards you is because they want to reach out and close the circle. Interest Level: High.


2-He is regid:
Stand perfectly straight is not a comfortable position to say, and even if you're smiling and full attention, his attitude is just friendly. Interest Level: Low.

3-Reach out and sign with the peak of his fingers:

They can be fast or slow gestures, but in both cases he is looking closer to touch. Interest Level: High.

4-keeps your hand away, fingers pointing in another direction.

If his hand is not moving towards your own is because he does not feel real interest in you, as if your fingers are kept closed or pointing to himself. Interest Level: Low.

5-Forward one foot towards you
Bring one foot to yours (even invading the space between them) is ora "trap" that makes to decrease the space between the two when you can not make it as obvious.
Such movements are not generally aware (because as Joe Navarro says, we rarely care about controlling what our feet). Interest Level: High.

6-He does not smile anymore and his eyes look lost:

Perhaps his mind is far away wondering if there will be an app for keeping statistics of cockfighting, or watching the siphon calculating how many milliliters of beer flowing every second; in the worst case, you can be "checking" the back of your competition. Level of interest: none.

7-One of his feet almost want to walk out
If one of your feet (especially the left, controlled by the right hemisphere brutally honest) seem to come to life and spreads sideways by lifting the tip, is the strongest signal that he wants to go there. Interest Level: less than zero.

How to know if somebody is lying to you according to body language.

We now turn to the issue of: lies, in this issue we do not need to be an expert, all you need to know are the signs that you have to look and, above all, watch movements and how liar course of action and thus whether they lie or tell the truth.

Whether it's a 'white lie' or a more serious lie-and all-absolutely all, ever in life, we lie. Precisely for this reason, knowing how to identify the liar is very important.

How to know if you lie?
Not only the body shows signs of a lie but also our face. If you want to learn how to identify people who are not telling the truth, keep reading...

The duration of the gestures and emotions are abnormal. The expression of emotion is given late, lasts longer than the natural and stops suddenly. For example, if a person laughs at a joke told and laughter is suddenly cut off, probably did not cause too much grace.

When it comes to managing their emotions, often times not agree and that is also rare. For example, someone might yell honestly liked you a gift you did and then show a smile, while a liar tends to concentrate smile and comment at the same time.

His gestures and expressions not match. If a person tells you he loves you but is showing a face of indifference, it is obvious that what you're saying is not consistent with what you really feel.

The emotions of all kinds, from happiness and surprise to sadness and anger, only limitedly expressed through your mouth instead of the whole face. For example, someone who smiles naturally imply that gesture across his face. It will include movements in his jaw, cheeks and eyes.

Postures and Gestures at Lying 
Usually, most people, unless they are used to take different positions when lying hide the truth.

If anyone knows who is guilty of lying takes a defensive posture. Someone "innocent" will challenge your suspicions and try to find out why your doubts, while a liar just say no to everything with few words and explanations.

The liar will be uncomfortable to face the person who questions and, for that reason, do not look to the eyes or look the other way.

There is also the possibility that unconsciously place objects-between him and the person who lied.
He will try to change the subject suddenly. And if it does suddenly seem more calm and return to the spontaneity that characterizes him.

As stated earlier, body language is important to recognize whether a person is lying or is telling the truth.

Maintain its very rigid and limited physical expression. If you do you are lying few movements with the hands, arms and legs.
Him/Her would evade eye contact. Anyone who does not try to tell the truth not look you in the eyes. Generally, they will look to his right. Also blink more often.
Often face is blown. The face, throat and mouth are the most common places.

How to talk when they are Lying 
The speech-also-shifting. The body, their attitudes, their movements and to detect message import. Not only do you have to interpret what you say but how you say it.

There is a tendency to use your own words to answer a question. For example, if you ask him: "Did you go dancing on Saturday?" Someone who is lying will answer this way: "No, I was not dancing on Saturday at all."
He/Her would try harder to convence you more than necessary. If anyone has guilt will speak beyond the usual, and they do not feel comfortable with the silences and pauses.

He will speak in a monotone. Usually, if someone has a real event says emphasizing the words. Someone is not telling the truth will give equal importance to everything you are saying.
You will use a forced way of speaking and sophisticated. Long words, correct grammar and very long versions of words or phrases that actually would be short.

Who is flirting according to Body language?

Here is a Stock image analysis (most are little spontaneous poses, making them somewhat artificial),  I ran into one that is worth giving a second look. This is one of them:

In it we see a couple in the park. The easy question is; are they both flirting, one, or none? According to SAPP systemic analysis method we start by analyzing the situation: they share an interest (spending time in the park), and from that we can infer that they are doing this for the same propuse (chill out). The Atmosphere is conducive to conversation; do not need to get too close to talk, and tone of voice can be medium to low. The proximity between the two is not accidental.
Finally, with regard to posture, she is right at your seat, even a little tense; his facial expression reaffirms this hypothesis:

The only flexed muscle on his face is the zygomatic, and lips are tight. The eyes are expressive little (She may not get the joke?)
Meanwhile, he has rested on the bench and he does has a much more relaxed expression:

His expression is a genuine smile (the corners of the mouth are stretched upward, showing teeth, crow's feet forming in his eyes, the cheekbones tighten). Is him who is flirting with her? 

A closeup on his hand subtracted intensity to this action:

The hand "dropping" on the keyboard seems to struggle between expressing an emotion and continue working. We're clear that this can not be typing or gesturing. Even his legs are in a very uncomfortable position to support the laptop...


...but trying to shorten distance (and even invade her space). Note that no physical contact, but both personal spaces overlap. How she responds to that breakthrough?


A gesture that combines perfectly with his forced smile: an "anchor" hand propping crossing legs and limit the expressiveness of your dominant hand (assuming she is right hand). 

The left hand is the "justification" to grab coffee. In short, she is only mildly interested in what he says.

First Kiss.

The video linked below is breathtaking.
It's about 20 couples who do not know each other, and they are asked to kiss each other . So simple, and that complex.
In the video we can see a whole recital language of seduction; elusive and furtive glances, shoulder raises, unfinished movements, wet lips, touching her hair, nervous laughter, subtle contacts, approaches, passion, tenderness, embarrassment, discomfort, relief, satisfaction, happiness.
Tatia PIlieva . Citing Websites.Film presented by WREN StudiosRetrieved June 13, 2014, from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpbDHxCV29A

From the point of view of Body Language, denoting the couple's "chemistry" is:
She likes what she sees. The boy feels dominant (much space), likes what he sees and also realizes that the girl corresponds to.



The next couple, denotes passion for the kiss. It is the girl who takes the initiative and begins with the approach. The boy shows a little uncomfortable, and looks away from her and goes to the organization. This displeases her (mouth care).


It is also interesting to see the reaction after the kiss. Some are touching, others "fleeing" others remain expectant to see the reaction of your partner. 

The body language of seduction is a dance. A wonderful dance.

How to have a magnetic personality based on your body language.

How to have a magnetic personality based on your body language
8 tips to achieve.


1. Breathe deeply and keep a positive attitude:

It is not about the opportunities you have, or the obstacles that come your way; the glass we observe the world what you determine just you, and if you have an attitude of gray cloud to see all that happens to you, because that will reflect in your same position, attitude and even the words you choose to speak.

No matter what happens, remember that you must have the discipline to stay calm and think that what does not kill you, makes you stronger, and will be a good story to tell.

 2. Keep a friendly tone of voice in any situation

The easiest way to understand this recommendation is to remember the last time you had a conversation with a person you feel true affinity. No matter the type of relationship, what matters is how you feel when you talk, and if you experience a perfect harmony of thoughts.
Remember the way you express yourself at the time? Remember how you thought you could talk for hours? Act in the same way with the rest of the world. You will see that everyone would feel gratified with your presence; although if you are shy, try slowly.

3. Pay special attention when others speak

Most of us live fast, pending our phone or do we respond when the other person shut up, or not to dedicate ten percent of our attention. Not only did we lose the opportunity to meet others, but we miss small but crucial details to ask at a later meeting.
A simple trick is to be very aware of what really matters to your partner (voice rise a little when expressed).

 4. Acknowledge your emotions and take advantage of it.

You get used to having temper outbursts? Although control is not easy, devote yourself to identify the "triggers" that make you out of your boxes. Maybe you're more melancholy, and even the good news express defeatist manner.
The adage says "Control your emotions or they will control you you," and it is no accident associated with the martial arts; the most attractive archetypes in that environment are not exactly fighting the best, but those who have more self-control.
Never too late to begin to know yourself.

 5. Keep an open mind and think twice before judging

Every day, individual freedom is threatened by the double standard; hypocrisy is the order of the day and all of us, at some point, we can judge another person without realizing that we may be projecting our own flaws in it.
Imagine it is a mirror.
In general, if you can not say anything nice about someone, then do not say anything. Equal rights for all, right? Now, if your experience allows you to correct an error in the other person, then it is your duty to let them know.
You can correct, to criticize, or to teach. Which do you prefer?

What is the hardest part of this item? recognize when your comment will be beneficial to the other person. Ask yourself, are you about to correct it because you go against your point of view, or because you want them to learn something new?.

6. Remember that not all your thoughts are valuable

We often think that our opinions are more valuable than others (after all, are our own, and that it is already important to us). It may not be so for the rest of the world, and is probably not to our satisfaction that others do not react to our verbal expressions as expected.
Maybe you want to always have the last word; perhaps feel that you show ignorance or doubt about a topic you will look weak; but nobody wants to be with someone who always has an answer to everything. In fact so people are really annoying, and surprise is an entirely banished from his face emotion. Who would you like to attend a one?.
You will see that you put this face a lot.
The people look so suspiciously.
Learn to evaluate and weigh your answers: You're sounding like a wise guy? Do you always have a "better" opinion of others? fixed because that'll scare.

7. Do not waste time

Stop procrastinating is not easy, but developing good work habits and leverage your journey goes beyond productivity. Not only will you be able to do more in less time (which already give you a superhuman aura), but the peace of mind your tasks under control transmit through the pores.
If you let time pass and accumulate earrings, you can never concentrate on the present moment; you're always thinking about what you have to do tomorrow, and you will be scattered and distant.

 8. It recognizes the achievements of others, as genuinely as possible

Since I have always considered extremely competitive; that has helped me grow a lot but has also crystallized two major obstacles: Sometimes it's hard desacoplarme competition and just work for the pleasure of it, without having to measure my achievements with those of others; and secondly, the competitive spirit has been a very hard glass breaking that restricts human approach.
Be competitive, until that you distance yourself from others.

All with measure and balance, right? especially when recognizing the achievements of others: do it whenever I can, and yes, with the intensity that you're worth the effort in recognizing the other person.

How to read Body Language- 7 steps.



The body and gestures convey more information than any great speech. Start paying attention to the hidden messages we transmit daily without realizing it.
In a face to face conversation 65% of the information is given from the body.

1 The look.
Frequent eye contact shows interest of the person to what we say and an open and positive attitude. The look business focuses on the triangle of the eyes and the center of the forehead ; social gaze focuses on the triangle between the eyes and mouth ; and intimate look crosses the triangle formed by the eyes and chin , but can also go to other parts of the body.
2 The smile.
It is the universal gesture par excellence. The simple smile transmits low-intensity character weakness, lack of confidence and shyness ; simple smile high intensity gives a feeling of confidence, friendliness and warmth ; smile in the upper low intensity upper teeth are taught and more expressive of cordiality and friendship load is transmitted , while the upper smile more high intensity open your mouth and can mean , to trusted friends, joy or pleasant surprise ; teaches the broad smile all teeth and is the ultimate expression of joy , pleasure and happiness.
3- The hands.
The rub hands denotes a positive expectation ; hands with fingers intertwined is a gesture that is trying to conceal a negative attitude ; hold hands in the back indicates a high degree of safety. We placed palm up when we want to persuade someone of our same status to do something we want , while palm down means more authority.
4 Handshake.
If we offer the hand palm down means you want us to address the meeting , if we offer the hand with the palm up will be ceding control of the situation to the other person ; If the handshake is accompanied by a shaking arm or shoulder feeling of sympathy and cooperation intensifies, but should only apply to people in confidence.
5 The arms , legs and feet.
Both arms crossing the legs as shown defensive and therefore negative . Crossing feet may reflect certain timidity .
6 The way you sit.
If we sit on the edge of the chair with your back straight we are in a position of maximum attention but can also indicate subordination and servility ; if we sit on the edge, with the body forward and falls head and hands showed discomfort and insecurity ;if we use the armrest to sit seem dominant, open and secure ourselves.
7 The movements.
A person walking with hands on hips is determined , effective and quick ; Walker dejected walk with hands in pockets and with downcast eyes ; one who walks with short steps Someone is concerned about the details ; strides indicate power and immediacy, but when accompanied by a dynamic little arms show little readiness to act , book and passivity ; the concerned hiker walks slowly , with bowed head and hands on the back
