FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

---

Human by nature is a sociable creature, while the bonds between him and the members of his surroundings vary according to characters; classes and interests, but they are always attached to one point of origin, which is the communication, whether via direct dialogues or non-verbal expressions.

Facial expressions is the essence of silent communication, so that attentions; reactions; intentions and feelings are embodied in a set of concrete templates that facilitate the acceptance of various ideas presented in the subject of discussion and ensure their proper access to the minds of interlocutors.

FACIO-EMOTIONAL EXPRESSIONS:

The face is the responsible for every single emotional expression such as joy; enthusiasm; anger; shyness; fear; surprise; anxiety; exhaustion; sadness; and many other emotions.

Those emotions were and still appear the same way on all people's faces.

As the most accurate example of this topic, positive emotions involve a particular expression which is represented by a “Smile” , The same thing applies to negative emotions, as they share a conspicuous unified reaction, where the mouth and eyebrows are the main elements for expressing it by sliding them downward.

Although, since the intended message is being reflected across the face in a very short period of time, the observer has to pick it up as soon as it occurs and take into account its degrees at its beginning, duration and its end. We must also highlight the necessity of capturing spontaneous; involuntary and momentary expressions because they are the ones that fully formulate the truth by being far away from pretense and artificiality.

DEADPAN REACTIONS:

The majority of real expressions are formed through instinct without prior preparations, except that there is a category of people who are very proficient in controlling their facial movements and do not show any reaction to what is going inside them most of the time, regardless the minority of people afflicted with Deadpan Face Syndrome. So, once the expression is hidden, it does not deny the existence of that discreet feeling.

However, many researches ended with finding a way to classify the emotional state of people over their facial expressions, which allows to reveal their hidden feelings through a special configurations of facial micro motor movements, where Ekman and Friesen's facial coding system (FACS) was the first implemented and approved project that achieved the success of this process.

THE ELIXIR OF THE LOOK

It is not possible to close the topic without referring to the core of communication “The Look“ here the eyes play the most important role in expressing feelings even without any little stirring. The eye has a special and unique language, its sharpness has a story & its sparkling has an other different story, even when it is fixed in opaque space it stays full of meanings, that what makes it as difficult to read as it is so easy to express.

This is why the moment you succeed in analyzing eye messages, you will come a long way in construing facial expressions, and you will not face any obstacles in controlling discussions afterwards.

So, Can we imagine a whole life with rigid faces?

Can we even rationally realize a harmonious communication?
