The most The heating in the office is fully turned on, but colleague Xiao Zhang always wraps his down jacket tightly. It wasn't until one day in the tea room that she met and subconsciously rubbed her hands and gave a fleeting look that people realized that the down jacket might not be used for warmth - there were too many stories disguised with smiles hidden in the workplace. In fact, heavy winter clothing actually makes micro expressions the most honest signal source, after all, no matter how thick a scarf is, it cannot stop the earthquake in the pupils.

1. With the corners of the mouth raised but the eyes not moving - Fake Smile Recognition Technique

1. The secret of the apple muscles

When smiling, radial fine lines will appear at the corners of the eyes, and the apple muscles will naturally lift and drive the entire face. If you notice that the other person's mouth is stiffly pulling upwards, but their muscles are not showing any waves, it is likely a social fake smile.

2. Abnormal Duration

A real human smile usually lasts for 0.5-4 seconds, and a smile that maintains a fixed arc beyond this duration is as unnatural as a cassette recorder. Especially when the other person deliberately maintains their expression after speaking, they need to be vigilant.

3. Asymmetric corners of the mouth

The real smile controlled by the brain is basically symmetrical on both sides of the face, while deliberate fake laughter often results in a situation where the corners of one side of the mouth are more upward. Observing which corner of the other person's mouth touches the rim of the cup first when drinking coffee may reveal clues.

2. Frequently Touching the Neck - Anxiety Temperature Gauge

1. Cracks under High necked Sweaters

Common collar tidying actions in winter may be to conceal anxiety. When hearing sensitive topics, fingers will unconsciously touch repeatedly Touching the neck socket, this area has the carotid sinus, and pressure stimulation can help people quickly calm down.

2. Scarf wrapping frequency

People who constantly adjust the tightness of their scarves while speaking are like setting a safety barrier for themselves with yarn. Pay attention to whether the other person suddenly starts wrapping the end of the scarf when a specific topic arises, which is a typical self soothing behavior.

3. Degree of exposure of collarbone

People who insist on pulling their jacket above their collarbone even at room temperature of 26 ℃ often establish psychological defense. The sudden action of unfastening the high necked button may actually imply a relief of tension.

III. Changes in Blinking Speed - Emotional Gearbox

Normal humans blink 15-20 times per minute. When they hear something they don't want to face, there may be a gaze pause of more than 3 seconds, like a sudden frame drop in a video.

2. Blinking rapidly

Blinking rapidly like an old-fashioned camera shutter (over 30 times per minute) is usually the brain processing conflicting information. In a dry winter environment, it is important to distinguish whether it is caused by emotional fluctuations or dry eyes.

3. Unilateral eye closure

When communicating, one may unconsciously blink their eyes unilaterally, possibly because the right brain is trying to block unwanted information. This action is more pronounced when wearing a mask, as can be observed by the twitching of the orbicularis oculi muscle.

4. Nose twitching - hidden anger detector

1. Rhythm of breathing white mist

Rapid nasal breaths in cold weather can form obvious white mist. If irregular white mist suddenly appears when the other person is speaking calmly, it indicates an acceleration of nasal airflow, which is a typical manifestation of adrenaline rising.

2. Nasal wing flapping frequency

Dry air in winter can make the nasal wing skin more prone to redness. When the other party's nose expands unconsciously for more than three consecutive times, it is like a sudden acceleration of the car engine, indicating that emotions are heating up.

3. Rubbing the Nose

When people try to conceal their disgust, they often unconsciously rub the bridge of their nose. This action is more common among people who wear glasses, and the reflection of the metal frame can sometimes expose slight tremors in the fingers.

5. Instant Dance of Eyebrows - Surprise Measuring Instrument

1. Eyebrow Retention Time

True Surprise Expression Eyebrow Lifting Duration does not exceed 1 second. If you see the other person's eyebrows staying high on their forehead for a long time, like a stuck elevator button, it's probably a deliberate performance.

2. Asymmetric brow shape

People who raise their left eyebrow higher than their right eyebrow may be forcibly expressing curiosity. Women with winter thrush are more likely to expose this because the trajectory of eyebrow powder removal will show the true direction of muscle movement.

3. Eyebrow lines

Sudden furrows of the brow can form brief red marks in the cold air. Observing the speed of the disappearance of the forehead and forehead wrinkles on the other person can determine the severity of emotional fluctuations.

Next time we have hotpot during team building, why not temporarily put down your chopsticks. In the steaming mist of the hot soup, those fleeting facial codes are more worth savoring than the rolling meat slices in the pot. After all, in the adult world, down jackets can wrap around trembling bodies, but cannot hide the desire to escape.
