Facial Expressions
The next time you are having a conversation....
Pay attention to the facial expressions of the person
you are talking to for a deeper meaning
- It is important to pay strict attention to eye contact, the movement
of the eyes, and the movement of the mouth. You will often notice
that facial expressions usually occur as a reaction to something else.

tell if whether or not a person is being truthful.
