Psychology says if someone secretly dislikes you they'll almost never say it out loud - but their body will, in the microseconds before they've decided what their face is supposed to be doing, and learning to read those moments is one of the more uncomfortable social skills available to anyone willing to develop it - Silicon Canals

"Micro expressions leak emotions that people don't want others to know they are feeling. These aren't conscious choices. They're involuntary betrayals of our true emotional state, happening faster than we can control them."

"Research on facial microexpressions reveals that these brief, involuntary facial movements can expose genuine emotions even when people actively try to hide them. Scientists have found that using tools like facial electromyography and electroencephalography, we can actually measure these fleeting expressions."

Microexpressions are brief, involuntary facial movements that reveal genuine emotions, even when individuals attempt to hide them. These expressions occur in a fraction of a second, faster than a blink, and can expose feelings like contempt or disgust. Research utilizing facial electromyography and electroencephalography has shown that these fleeting expressions last between 1/25 and 1/5 of a second. Observing these microexpressions can provide deeper insights into interpersonal communication and emotional states, often more informative than verbal exchanges.
