Don’t you just wish you knew what other people were thinking? While having extra-sensory perception or ESP seems like a hard-to-master skill, how about something a little more achievable - like reading face expressions?

Reading face expressions doesn’t require you to have a certain level of I.Q. or an inborn gift. It only requires you to be patient and observant, something that can easily be done, depending on how much you really want to learn.

For starters, here are some facial body language signs that can help you find out just what’s on people’s minds.

Reading Face Expressions Tip 1: Eyes to the Right, Head Cocked to the Side.

Try to observe people when you’re talking to them. When their eyes are raised and seem to be gazing to the right and their head is tilted sideways, it means that they’re thinking of something.

This is useful for when you want to know whether the person you’re talking to is taking your ideas seriously or not.

Reading Face Expressions Tip 2: Lower Lips Tighten

When you’re in the middle of talking and you notice the person’s lower lips tighten, slow down and process what you’ve just said or are saying.

Tightening of lower lips is a signal of tension or discomfort. You may have just offended that person without noticing it. So do your best to remedy the situation and make that person drop the tension in the lower lips.

Reading Face Expressions Tip 3: Stiff and Firm Mouth

This can also tell you a lot about the person you’re talking to. You would do well to lock your eyes in on the person’s mouth. If it’s stiff and firm, that person might not be in complete agreement with you.

Reading face expressions might begin as a fun hobby or activity for you. However, having such a skill can prove to be very useful in the future.
