This article is part 3 of the series Reading emotions through facial expressions. In the previous articles i gave an introduction about reading facial expressions then i explained how you can recognize anger and sadness in their early stages through someone's face.
Today i am going to talk about fear and how you can recognize a person who felt slightly afraid because of something that you said or because of something that happened.
Then reason i used the word "slightly" is that intense fear can usually be recognized by most people. After all if you saw a terrified face you won't need help knowing that it belongs to a person who is feeling afraid. (see also How to be brave in life)
As usual you have to begin by seeing a picture of a face experiencing a very intense emotion and a normal face. The fist image below (the one on the left) shows a normal face while the one on the right shows a face experiencing intense fear.
Now in order to understand how to read early signs of fear you need to see the stages this person went through before her face changed from the normal one to the fearful one.
So what are the signs that show that pictures 3 and 4 belong to a person who is feeling afraid?
The state of Surprise is very close to the state of fear when it comes to facial signs but the major difference between them is that in the state of surprise the lower jaw drops while the eyebrows are raised.
In the next article in this series i will talk about the state of being surprised and show you how to differentiate between it and the state of fear.
