tell me a LIE

Something in this world really caught my interest and would die to know more!

Microexpressions  are facial expressions that lasts a fraction of a second. Since microexpressions do not last long, they go undetected in our every day lives. Microexpressions are a type of nonverbal communication. 

In ways, microexpressions can be used to detect if a person do lie. I have this TV series that I do love to death and its called LIE TO ME. Its a series about an agency composing of people who intensely study microexpressions of different people to know who the suspects are. And yeah, its really amazing but have to take the warning that it may somewhat make you a little paranoid! haha. :) 

in here, I googled some pictures and could show you some microexpressions :)

  2. Eyes have a glare
  3. Lips are narrow

 now, this, is a feeling of shame.. hands on the forehead..eyes are a little droopy..













   when someone conspicuously shrugging their shoulders..it means that they dont believe what they are saying or they are lying.











   waving a finger while talking means the person is thinking about what he is going to say without wanting you to know that he is thinking.













if the person is putting fingers over just above his lips it means, he is thinking about something.....






as well as fast blinking of the eyes. 
















 pursed lips means hiding something. he dont believe in what he said to you and that the person is lying.
















when that person you are asking often looks away (if there is no stimulus around you) it means he is making up something. he's lying.














well, to make everything clear..this is just a study. maybe i find it true :))
