Happiness.
When it comes to the emotion of happiness, it manifests in many different ways. When we see a very happy person, we can see the crinkling of lines above the eyes and across the forehead.
You won’t see everyday happiness or pleasant moods displayed on someone’s forehead.
Fear.
Fear is one of the most powerful emotions, with a plethora of physical manifestations.
Fear is a body language cue that is so similar to others that it could be interpreted as the same. That’s why understanding context first is really important.
Can you also see sweating, rapid breathing, and shallow breathing? Has their blink rate gone up? You need to take into account all the non-verbal tells. Fear has so many different meanings that it can be difficult to pinpoint what’s happening.
There is only one way to tell if someone is scared or showing fear, and that’s through microexpressions.
What is a microexpression?
Microexpressions are quick, involuntary facial expressions that last only a few tenths of seconds. These expressions can give away a person’s true emotions even when they are trying to hide them. Microexpressions can be used to provide clues into their thoughts and feelings, especially when someone is deceptive.
When you see someone flash their eye borrows and then crinkle lines above the eyes. It’s a shocking look that comes across the face.
Sadness.
Drawing together the eyebrows and the forehead towards the middle, above the eyebrows, is a signal of sadness and many other emotions as well. This can also be a microexpression and can flash across the face very quickly or it can be prolonged depending on what that person is really feeling or trying to hide.
Anger.
Anger is similar to sadness in that the eyes will pull together and make a frowning gesture. You can see this on people’s foreheads: it is either one line or two that are in between the eyes, just above the nose.
The way we express anger and sadness is strikingly similar. When people are angry, their eyes might close a little more and move closer together. This can be seen on a person’s forehead in one continuous line, or two lines that are between the eyes. These lines are vertical, when you look at people’s faces can you see this line eched into their skin
