Microexpressions of someone who doesn't like you

The Eyebrow Flash00:00:47

A genuine 'eyebrow flash' is a rapid, involuntary lift of the eyebrows lasting about a sixth of a second. It is a universal signal of recognition and positive regard. Its absence during a greeting suggests a lack of genuine enthusiasm, regardless of what the person is saying verbally.

Gaze Aversion and Eye Contact00:02:05

People who harbor negative feelings often avert their gaze toward potential exits or windows, signaling an unconscious desire to escape. A brief closing of the eyes or a downward glance when you speak is a 'cut off' signal, indicating a desire to block your input.

Compressed Lips and Suppression00:02:57

Compressed, thinned lips often signify that someone is withholding a thought or feeling they chose not to voice. Furthermore, pressing the lips with a downward pull at the corners indicates negative evaluation or disagreement with what you have just said.

Body Orientation and Feet00:04:04

While people often control their facial expressions, the feet remain unguarded and reflect true intent. If someone is truly interested, their feet will point toward you. If they would rather be elsewhere, their feet will likely be angled toward an exit or another direction, even if their upper body is facing you.

Microexpressions of Disgust00:05:16

Disgust is a primitive, hard-to-suppress emotion revealed by a slight wrinkling of the nose or a subtle lifting of the upper lip. These expressions are involuntary reactions to ideas or behaviors they find aversive and are almost immediately masked by a neutral expression.
