Eyebrows matter. Eyebrows react quickly and are one of the most honest signals in body language.
By Kathleen Cairns Suddenly everyone is talking about eyebrows. The hooded suspect in the case of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has some unique eyebrows, which has made interpreting eyebrows a viral topic on some social media platforms. Eyebrows frame the eyes, and we often seek the truth by how eyes react during a discussion. While we can consciously control our eye movements to a point, it is much harder to control the tiny muscles that react in the eyebrow realm. Eyebrows often reveal genuine reactions before words can catch up to the emotion displayed in the movement. Body Language Signals: 1. Raised Eyebrows: Surprise, curiosity, interest, enthusiasm and engagement. 2. Furrowed Brows (Brows Drawn Together): Confusion, concern, concentration, cognitive processing or worry. 3. One Eyebrow Raised: Skepticism, doubt, playfulness, but examine the context of the conversation as well, it may be teasing or genuine disbelief. 4. Lowered, Tensed Brows: Anger, determination, defensiveness or intensity. 5. Relaxed Brows: Openness, calm, comfort and receptiveness. While some people spend time grooming eyebrows a certain way, it cannot hide how the muscles react to emotions, which can play a big role in how body language is interpreted. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/eyebrows-matter-react-quickly-one-most-honest-signals-kathleen-cairns-e2ste?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via
