EMOTION THESAURUS – PART 4
CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING
Take all things into account when describing a scene so that the facial expressions, body language, and context all match the situation and the reactions that you, as the author, intend it to mean. Never assume readers know what you mean. They don't know what the author is thinking.

| Facial Expression When we feel longer-lasting love, our facial expression often resembles happiness: The zygomatic major muscle pulls the lip corners up, and there’s a tightening of the lower eyelid.

LYING
| Lying isn’t exactly an emotion but it is something writers need to handle in novels. Not every lie involves emotions, but those that do cause special problems for the liar… and maybe the author. An attempt to hide a feeling or conceal an emotion at the moment it is felt could be betrayed in words, but except for a slip of the tongue, it usually isn’t. But it can be detected in facial expression. 
 Mark Bouton, an FBI agent for 30 years and author of "How to Spot Lies Like the FBI” gives some practical hints on how to tell when someone is lying. Body Language ● Eyes dart back and forth. "This is a physiological reaction to him feeling uncomfortable or trapped by your questions that he doesn't want to answer," Bouton says. | Body Language Continued ● Eyes blink rapidly, five or six times in rapid succession. "A person will ordinarily blink about five or six times a minute, or once every 10 or 12 seconds," Bouton says. "When stressed — for instance, when someone knows he's lying — he may blink five or six times in rapid succession." ● Closing eyes for more than one second at a time. ● Right landed people usually look to the right when they are trying to remember what they saw. "When you ask a normal, right-handed person about something he's supposed to have seen, if he looks upward and to his left, he's truly accessing his memory of the incident," ● Right landed people usually look directly to the right when lying about something they heard. ● Right handed people look down to the right when lying about smells or sensations. "His eyes will shift downward and to his left if he's going to tell you his memory of a smell or touch or sensation, such as a cold draft or a terrible odor," Bouton explains. "But his eyes will shift down and to his right if he's going to lie." ● Bunched skin beneath and wrinkles beside the eyes indicate a real smile ●Face touching ● Excessive sweating ● Pursed lips Quoting Mark Bouton Authors: Rachel Gillett and Samantha Lee Jan 11, 2019 https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-tell-someones-lying-by-watching-their-face-2016-1#take-note-of-what-youre-asking-them-5 |
PAIN
| Physical Pain is the body’s “dashboard light” when something is wrong. It is the distressing feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli, which can be both physical and emotional. Physical responses can vary depending on which kind of pain is involved. In medical diagnosis, pain is regarded as a symptom of an underlying condition. Facial Expression When we feel pain, our facial muscles move in ways that contract the face and protect us from harm. ● In the upper half of the face, the orbicularis oculi muscles around the eyes contract, closing the eyes tightly.

For instance, when you remember you still have to do the dishes, when you have to spend money on a necessary car repair, or when friends urge you to tell an embarrassing story. Although these routine examples are quite different, they follow the same principle: there is an activity that is unpleasant, but that you have to engage in for reasons that are more important than the displeasure.

There’s also a little pouching in the inner part of the forehead, and people will often look down. Plus, the corners of the lips are pulled straight down, giving the mouth a curved look. The expression of sadness is often confused with shame, and it shares the oblique eyebrow muscle movements of compassion.

 Shame is a very simple display but a powerful one. It simply involves gaze aversion, with the head moving down so that the chin tucks into the neck. It's the opposite of pride: Whereas with pride our head tilts back and our chin goes up, shame often constricts our posture as a sign of submissiveness. This expression is frequently confused with sadness. But shame doesn't involve the muscle movements of the sad face—the eyebrows pulled in and partly up, with the lip corners moving down.

SHYNESS
| Shyness (also called diffidence) is the feeling of apprehension, lack of comfort, or awkwardness especially when a person is around other people, particularly in new situations or with unfamiliar people.
A shy person may simply opt to avoid these situations. The defining characteristic of shyness is a largely ego-driven fear of what other people will think of a person's behavior; a fear of negative reactions. | Stronger forms of shyness can be referred to as social anxiety or social phobia. In children, shyness may result from un-familiarity and not knowing what to expect. Current research suggests the behavioral repertoire is orchestrated by a specific circuit of neurons in the brain, and it is also strongly influenced by parenting practices and life experiences.
