/fa facial expressions

razor sharp edge

just look in a mirror

>when you're sad but see some faint silver lining
unfocused eyes beneath close eyelids with an unethusiastic smile, head drooped

Here is what that looks like in an animated incarnation

And, 2:20–4:03, is an inspirational track that should help evoke the expression

Actually, it's more like 2:17–4:09

This expression betrays bitterness and discontent; it's clear the model is preoccupied with his thoughts, though not working through his troubles toward some productive conclusion, but rather contemplating his very feelings toward whatever misfortunes have befallen him. Either way, he is clearly not pleased.

And this one evinces a chronic unhappiness. He's looking out but not seeing much of anything, his consciousness overlaid by his thoughts.

hahahahahah nah

the angry and pissed look. the look that make people feel as if you can outdebate them easily

just be kind

This.

...

>implying angry and pissed people are good at arguments using noesis

Wrong. The best lawyers are calm and confident.

well just post expressions for every day. I mean commuting, walking along the street and stuff. it may sound wierd but depressed face in this situations is my problem.

,,be happy inside and you'll look happy'' meme doesn't work to me. I just always look sad

>well just post expressions for every day
>I just always look sad
How do you want to come across in public? As a happier person? As a more confident person? As a regular guy with nothing bothering him? There are ways to be precise in answering your question depending on how much more specific you can be.

pic related doesn't look like the happiest camper but that's remedied by opening your eyes wider, and subsequently raising the eyebrows a bit more, as if expectant for something, than usual, like he seems to do here.

>tfw sanpaku eyes
>sometimes you can see the whites of my eyes both above and below my irises
>can make me look psychotic apparently

>using japanese terminology

The term's widely used on here, buddy
It's a Chinese superstition anyways

I didn't read your post just because of that image you fag

>As a happier person?
>As a more confident person?
>As a regular guy with nothing bothering him?
I'd be thankful if you could describe each of these features. Looks like opening the eyes wider and raising the eyebrows actually works!

I'm pleased to oblige.

This picture shows two faces. The one on the left has an awkward expression you want to avoid, as he's smiling but hardly smiling; his mouth is almost straight, tightly pursed, and his eyebrows are furrowed. He looks uncomfortable.

On the other hand you have the right face which appears much more confident and comfortable. The smile is more of a smirk, which is manly in a way; it suggests amusement, which taken positively will communicate to the beholder that whatever they are doing is pleasing to him. The eyelids are tightened which also can help make you look happier or more inviting because our eyes tend to get more shut than open when we're laughing or on the verge of laughing.

So puffing up your bottom eyelid and narrowing your eyes a bit will help make you more confident or happy, in addition to mustering a smile, slight but still visible.

And that expression can be modified by adjusting the height of your eyes. As Guzma here demonstrates, by furrowing your eyebrow, i.e. pulling them downward, you can make yourself look more condescending and ill-intentioned, which produces a psychological effect conducive to intimidating, humiliating, and embittering enemies and steering away weak-willed people.

But this is just an aside.

This next one is a bit tricky. It's more on the regular guy with nothing bothering him side.

It consists of the slightest smile you can possibly angle, must be symmetric. Eyes have to be a bit lively, definitely not listless. Tighten your eyelids ever so slightly. Keep your eyebrows steady, raised slightly or at a neutral height.

Inhale, closing your eyes. Hold. Exhale, opening them, returning to this expression.

The mentality behind it is that life is decent at the moment, not necessarily great, but things will look up in the near future. It's contentment, as opposed to indifference.

A decent way to set the mood is to listen to the track here starting at 4:09–5:57.

Be chill, but not aimless, and definitely not lost.

isn't it just about face? I mean guy on the left looks good regarldess of the things you've just menioned. and thank you once more user. that's literally the content /fa deserves

are there any books/arcticles on this topic?

that's goat
ty mate

Youre one of the most weeb autistic faggots

Next expression is actually Veeky Forums, as demonstrated by good ol' Roofcore.

The feeling produced is one of respectability and fashionableness, but distance. His look is not friendly, but neither is it hostile. He's not down to talk, but he won't give you the cold shoulder if you speak to him.

It's an attitude of having better things to do in one's life, and putting themself first.

How he does this is the slight smile, tightened eyelids, but slightly raised eyebrows.

Throw this look on in conversation when you're in a casual conversation but expect a somewhat higher standard of communication, which includes keeping up with wit, being charming, and having intelligent things to say.

>isn't it just about face?
not sure what you mean
>I mean guy on the left looks good regarldess of the things you've just menioned
handsome people are also capable of ugly expressions. being good looking what automatically make you Veeky Forums, nor does being ugly necessarily disqualify you from being Veeky Forums. Guy on the right could be wearing clown makeup and he'd still look Veeky Forums, not because he's handsome though he is, but because the expression itself is golden.

I'm glad I can contribute to the community, as it helped me back when I was new. Unfortunate that trolls want it to stagnate into an unfunny shithole.

I'm glad you appreciate it

Here's another image of Roofcore that I won't comment on other than to say I think this expression is also effay. It's an interesting contrast to the first image, and enigmatic, not instantly recognizable as any expression in particular.

You''l find after studying it as well as revisiting the oft hailed photos of actual Dylann Roof that Veeky Forums can lie outside the bounds of normal nomenclature and standards. You can't say for sure what these expressions are or what they convey, but something about them strikes you as effay.

Stoic, serious, sad face

Nigger:The Look

Must've taken a lot of thinking to come up with that one
