Psychologists Share 16 Tricks That’ll Help You Read People Like a Pro
When talking to a person, we get only 30% of all the information through their words — all the rest of the info can be revealed in their movements, tone of voice, and other non-verbal means of communication. So if you want to know what your friends are actually feeling at any given moment, it’s better to watch their faces — try to be extra attentive and you’ll learn a lot of new things about them.
Bright Side has prepared a short guide on how to “read” people’s faces.

Hmm.. understanding people is easer than I thought ?
Not that easy actually! Yes, this looks like a piece of cake but is a lot of information though
You're right Amy. I have a friend who is phycologist and sometimes I test her with this kind of questions and this topic is certainly not an easy one!
Bitting your lips when being anxious is so true. I always do it
When someone repeats the question you've asked them, almost like they're stalling for time to try to lie
according to their swirling hair
1. When i raised and curved eyebrows because i wanna exercise my eyebrows,making silly face
2 n 3. I see people do that. I thinks he/she express 'what wrong with you.
4. When i want day dreaming,lying,talk back to the other person. But sometime when i lying, i made my poker face so other people can't read my mind.
5. True
6. True. And i looking down because i a bit clumsy,so i don' t want to fall again. And because this people are 'HENTAI' so i looking down on the floor n bcause i try to avoid awkward situation.
7. That true n bcause i do that sometimes.
N i try to make silly faces. Or i feel some other people staring to me.
Lips
1. i do that all the time bcause my crooked teeth n i don't want to smile when i not happy. I will smile when i happy.
2. When i bitting my lips,some other people
a really uncomfortable when i do that. Some people thinks it DIRTY N DIGUSTING.
3. Bcause i want to try smile like that. I look weird,funny n ugly. Sometimes i do that to exercise my face.
Hands
1. True sometimes
2. I don' know
About looking right or left: it depends. Some people are "reversed", which means they look left when they lie/make something up and look right when they remember something. So it's important to first find out this information about the person before taking any conclusions.
