FACE READING

Reading faces is a vital skill. When trying to communicate with another human being, it's helpful to understand what potential emotions that person may be experiencing. In interpersonal relationships, you'll be able to take better care of those close to you. When thrown into a professional endeavor, you'll have a better understanding of your co-workers and clientele. You'll have to pay close attention, however, as slight shifts in facial expressions can represent vastly different feelings.

HOW TO READ FACES

When reading a face, you'll want to start with the eyes, the most suggestive of all facial features.You'll learn a great deal about a person's mood by paying close attention to their eyes.

• The pupils dilate during moments of stimulation, or in low lighting. If you are in a location with constant light, notice shifts in pupil size. A large pupil suggests some sort of arousal or interest.
• Our pupils shrink when we see something offensive or negative. This constriction blocks off any unwanted images.
• A person may squint if they do not like you or what you're saying. They also may be suspicious of your words and actions. If you notice this occurring, address the issue and clarify what you're saying.
• A darting eye suggests insecurity or discomfort. You can also detect these feelings through sideways glances. Any break in eye contact proves that a person isn't fully present.
