And you were not told in childhood: “Well, why are you frowning? Smile! ”, And you, as before, were looking at the outside world from beneath your forehead, hanging on your mother’s hand. Everything is extremely simple: a gloomy look betrays your mood and facial expression. Often we notice smiles on the faces of our interlocutors. Warm and warm - it can cause a positive reaction to a smiling person, it can express understanding and sympathy, emphasize sarcasm or discontent. You can’t imagine how many kinds of smiles exist and what their different meanings are.
Psychologists have repeatedly noted that by a smile one can recognize not only a person’s mood, but also his character, inclinations, and personality type. Unconsciously, each of us can distinguish the smile “sarcasm” from “I'm so glad to see you,” but this is only a small fraction of all kinds of smiles and their meanings in psychology.
From this article you will learn what most smiles mean, and you can easily evaluate the reaction of your interlocutors to you and others.
Sincerity
It seemed to you that the person smiling at you is somehow unfriendly, insincere with you? In most cases, it is. Our subconscious self evaluates a smile, facial expressions, bends and gives a signal of sincerity. To distinguish a stretched smile, as psychologists report, is very simple. Pay attention to the muscles of the mouth and eye movement. Of course, we can stretch a smile, but running pupils are difficult to control, especially at the moment of lies or insincerity. With a sincere smile, the muscles of the mouth are stretched, angles are formed, teeth are exposed, and the eyes narrow, forming wrinkles. A sincere smile is always honest, because it arises automatically and unconsciously.
The insincere "lyba" is asymmetrical, most often one side is curved more than the other, the eyes do not narrow. If a person smiles only with his lips, he is dishonest with you. You can see this kind of smile in the photo when the photographer asks to smile or says “chees”.
Thus, in order to find out whether a sincere smile is enough to pay attention to the eyes. Be careful with this kind of smile: if the fake "lip" is too wide, due to the raised cheeks, you might think that your eyes have become narrower. In this case, pay attention to the symmetry and eyebrows, a sincere smile lowers the tips of the eyebrows down.
Smile “at 32” or pursed lips
An open or closed smile is the most obvious and extremely simple classification. The type of smile depends on the temperament of the person, on the atmosphere in which communication takes place. Someone smiles only with his lips, and someone with all his 32 teeth. It is difficult to say about a certain mood by such a smile, rather, such a classification will help determine the temperament of the person who is talking with you.
More often than not, people who do not bite their teeth are of the type who control themselves. This type of stingy on emotions, often suppresses them until they disappear completely. Such smiles are more often taken as a contemptuous grimace than as a sign of sincere sympathy for you. To trust such a priori is not worth it. Have you noticed that the person leading the conversation sprinkles promises with pursed lips? Know that he is hardly sincere, most likely, he speaks with you for his own benefit.
The opposite type of people, with an open smile, is more sincere, relaxed next to you. He is sensitive, able to win over to himself. Such people can be easily trusted, but do not forget about how to distinguish sincerity, because there are plenty of open fakes. Eyes will help you, a sincere open smile is accompanied by luminous, joyful eyes.
