Former FBI Agent Explains How to Read Facial Expressions | WIRED

Former FBI agent and body language expert Joe Navarro is back, this time to breaks down the non-verbal ways we communicate using facial expressions. What does it mean when we scrunch up our noses or show tension in the glabella? Joe also goes deep into chirality, and equates this concept with some of the most quizzical of human expressions.

    If I had to guess- and this is purely speculation. Masks that cover the eyes make it easier to conceal their identity, which heroes generally aspire to do. While villains generally care less about that and sometimes want to be easily identified for notoriety and fear purposes. Concealing the mouth helps to more conceal what they are feeling; ie: smiling, frowning, grimacing. Again just a shot in the dark in my thinking on it. I have no expertise on the subject. Super interesting question though- thanks for posing it 🙂 very cool thought experiment.

    The left side of our face reflects our inner personal world. This is private and most people don't wish to show it to others. The right side of our face reflects our outer business world. This is the side we show to the world around us. For most people the two are fairly even. For more private/reserved personalities or people who are hiding or faking something the two will be starkly different.

And some material on how to defend oneself efficiently once one realizes the deception? BEcause reading body language doesn't help much unless one also has the tools and power to use it for self-defense.

As for angle of view, we feel uncomfortable with the direct gaze because it relays tunnel focus, and again, tunnel focus is predatory behavior.

Everyone is different, but myself and other people with autism also tend to be very truthful, although if I am telling a lie my expressions don't change. On the other end, I can't tell what another person is feeling because I can't read their faces for subtle cues, unless they are overtly acting angry or laughing. This video is a great opportunity for me to try to read faces!

    i am also autistic, it’s very hard to lie unless i do it accidentally. i had to learn facial expressions as a kid. they gave me a chart with emotions on it and they took me out of class to talk about behavioral stuff to me. i think that was pre-diagnosis tho, maybe they suspected it. (i got diagnosed in a different US state lol) i’m also an artist so i draw facial expressions a lot. it’s a learned skill at this point 😭 im extremely fidgety, since i apparently also have adhd. buuut i also stim (i shake my leg now) when im happy, so it’s confusing to see if im nervous, just happy or need to move. the biggest problem for me is tonal issues. usually i sound very monotone because i have to make it an effort to portray an emotion... unless im annoyed because i get irritated easily. i also avoid eye-contact and people see that as rude… i had to learn to look at their eyebrows, forehead or nose. my eyes shift between them all.

    ​@@ronnym1977 I'd say he's pretty much accurate as a high functioning male. As a high functioning female, it's been studied that females are more epigenetically inclined to adapt by acting normal, thus the reason for the highly missed diagnosis of autism in women. I can say that I feel exactly the same way he acts, but have been taught by both corporeal and societal means not to "act" on those natural impulses. It's mentally exhausting to pretend to be normal. At the end of the day it is such a relief to shed that false skin and be myself. I find it advantageous and am jealous of the male advantage to be able to be who they are without complete social ostracization, which is what I experienced before I learned to "act" like a "proper female". Now I get the opposite: "You're not autistic, you act too normal". Aha! The key, my dear, is your correct use of the word "ACT".

    The problem with reading my expressions is that they could be reflecting some random thought that passed through my head that has little or nothing to do with the environment or situation around me. One might interpret the expression correctly, but they shouldn't assume what it was in respinse to.

    @Dominique Higgins It has everything to do with what I am thinking because what I am thinking has everything to do with what I am feeling (almost always). The particular thoughts I am refering to aren't exactly purely random, true, because they were inspired in some way by something preceeding them, but they are certainly fleeting--here one minute, long since moved past the next moment. And the emotions come and go with them--and are therefore fleeting in that sense. It is a fleeting emotion in response to a fleeting thought. I am perfectly capable of zoning out of my environment and going through a string of thoughts. If one of those thoughts inspires an emotional response and if that emotional response shows up on my face someone might think I am responding to something in the environment that they also perceive. But I am not. I am responding to a "random" thought that passed trough my head. Therefore they can interpret the expression and associated emotion correctly, but not what the expression/emotion was in response to.

    I’m guessing that the majority of NT people aren’t that easily distracted when engaging with another person and tend to be fully present in those moments so the whole reading someone’s facial expressions in order to gage emotion/intention is most likely based on the assumption that the person is completely tuned in to your interaction with them and giving you their full attention.

If anything I was intently concentrating on what I was doing at the time or deep in thought over some task. Point is people make mistakes professionals included, that's why law requires evidence. People are too prejudiced as it is without "professionals" influence.

    Thank you so so much for this video! When the pandemic makes everything virtual and Zoom meetings rule the land, it is so hard for normal communicative modes to be relied upon! So to understand more about facial cues is wonderfully useful - especially the idea of how aggressive the direct eye contact face to face can feel after a while, which I've noticed for my daughter in zoom classes where sometimes it's just too much. So thank you very much - I'm going to send this to everyone I know who teaches and my daughter's teachers as well! Useful to understand a bit more about kids behavior - and if you made an additional video about the topic focusing on instruction or how zoom warps normal behavior, that would be quite useful as well.

    I find his point about the masks interesting, cause for me, more people have been asking if I'm okay, cause apparently my fake smile isn't portrayed in my eyes which is all they can see right now, but when I don't wear a mask, friends and other people don't (really) ask or seem suspicious. It would be especially interesting for me if he could talk about ,,faked emotions" and be to recognize and decode them.

    I’ve always wondered why I could never get myself to like my selfies... It’s because I was always displeased with half of my face not being able to show enough emotion. I’m a very conservatively-mannered person, so it takes a lot of energy for me to fake a smile for social media 🧐

    @@21stcenturyvomit68 that was taken about 3-4 years ago, and due to a motorcycle accident that happened very shortly after taking that picture, my body has changed a LOT haha XD. my other accounts have more recent pictures of me, but this picture was taken during a time that i was finally allowing myself to be confident with how i looked, and it's hard to change it because i'm constantly reminded of how that confidence felt, and how i can experience that again now if i really wanted to (whether that means working to change my body, or accepting it as it is now). however, i did just happen to get new glasses a week ago, and i've been thinking of changing my picture to *that* selfie :) :upside-down smiley:
