After all, people are not transparent and they often hide their true emotional state for whatever reason. Here are some tips that will help you become better at reading emotions that are hidden beneath the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Observe Body Language <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/body-language-crucial-conversations\/\">Body language<\/a> provides subtextual information that can reveal a person\u2019s emotional state. This helps you make more informed decisions when interacting with them. Key body language indicators include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Eyes<\/strong>: What are the person\u2019s eyes doing? When someone maintains eye contact, they\u2019re usually being sincere. When they constantly blink or avert their gaze, they\u2019re often uncomfortable or lying. When their eyes seem calm but attentive, they\u2019re probably comfortable talking to you.<\/li><li><strong>Smile<\/strong>: Is the person\u2019s smile authentic? When a person is genuinely smiling, the corners of their eyes typically crinkle and their entire face reflects their inner excitement. If the smile seems isolated to the mouth, they\u2019re likely forcing a grin.<\/li><li><strong>Body<\/strong>: Do you notice any unusual tension in the person\u2019s body? If it seems like their shoulders are raised or their hands are constantly fidgeting, there\u2019s a good chance they\u2019re stressed or distraught.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Observe Emotional Cues in Films <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Actors develop realistic characters by evoking emotion. Because they usually portray characters in extreme situations, the emotional cues they send are often much clearer than they are in real life. You can practice reading emotions off facial expressions by watching movies and pointing out the moments that stand out to you. Try to connect certain behaviors to the emotion being portrayed on screen and rewatch impactful sections to pick up on specific cues. Because you\u2019re not directly involved with the drama, you will have a much easier time staying objective and observant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Go \u201cPeople Watching\u201d <\/strong>to Practice Reading Emotions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Observing people going through their daily lives helps you begin to notice patterns of behavior that correlate to internal emotions. Similar to watching a movie, being a third party allows you to remain objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you see a couple walking down the street holding hands. Despite this apparent gesture of affection, you notice that they\u2019re avoiding eye contact at all costs. You use this observation to conclude that they don\u2019t want to interact with one another but don\u2019t want to show it in public.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Confirm Your Observations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, you can\u2019t read a situation based solely on your observations. In these cases, ask for confirmation. State your observation, then ask if what you\u2019ve noticed is accurate. When you confirm your observations, you gain crucial knowledge that allows you to better understand and navigate your surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you notice that Mary has not been talking as frequently as she usually does. She seems down, but whenever she interacts with you or other people, she puts on a smile and acts like everything\u2019s fine. Finally, you pull her aside and say, \u201cHey. You\u2019ve seemed a bit depressed lately. Did something happen?\u201d She opens up a bit and thanks you for your concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Read the Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve mastered reading emotions of individuals, you can read the mood of entire rooms. Understanding the collective mood of the people around you allows you to give your input in an appropriate and well-timed manner. There are two ways to read the room:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/follow-your-intuition\/\">Trust your gut<\/a>.<\/strong> Every room you walk into has a different energy. For example, the energy in a waiting room at a doctor\u2019s office will have a different feel than that of a rope line outside of a music venue. These energies are contagious and will impact you. Use this impact to indicate the emotional state of the group.<\/li><li><strong>Follow a guide.<\/strong> For rooms that you\u2019re not familiar with, find someone you trust who has experience with the situation. Follow and observe them, and compare your observations with theirs. Soon, you\u2019ll begin picking up on things that they point out and will have a better understanding of your surroundings.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does reading emotions come easy to you?
