Facial expressions: the masks we wear
Now, I know that we’ve all been told to trust our gut and read the emotions on someone’s face. But the truth is, those facial expressions don’t always tell the whole story. We learn from a young age how to put on the appropriate “mask” for different social situations. Smiling even when we’re fuming inside, furrowing our brows to show concern even if we’re secretly feeling neutral.
In my coaching practice, I have often encountered situations where my clients were not able to share their true feelings. This is mainly because they smile, representing that they are not sad about something, although they are. What I discovered over my long months of practice is that the real reliable signs are the barely noticeable micro-expressions that occur before one can fully regulate one’s facial expression.
