Face

Eye

The way you look at people can communicate many things. Look others in the eyes while talking, so that they are forced to listen to you. Avoiding eye contact means that you hide something.

Funny, but even dogs, when feeling guilty, turn their heads and don’t look in the eyes of their owners.

 

Eye-blocking

When we don’t like what we see, we close our eyes or squint. This is the way to protect ourselves from threats. When you see that someone does eye blocking, you should think that he or she feels uncomfortable, and/or is lying to you.

Pupils

When we like something, our pupils dilate; when we don’t, they shrink.

Eyes open wide

When we become surprised, or suddenly confronted, our eyes open up.
