Emotions & Facial Expressions

A reader wanted to share with me a case that was profiled on A&E, and now on YouTube. It was the case of Mary Beth Davis. She told me I just had to see this woman’s facial expressions.

She was right.

This woman’s facial expressions and emotions are all over the charts, and exceptionally haunting in the first 15 seconds of this video alone.

Davis’ anger and seething hate are simply incredible!

If Davis doesn’t make your heart pound and give you a desire to flee, I don’t know what will!

Don’t Tell Me Animals Don’t Feel Emotions

This is one powerful and emotional video that I think is super special.

The reunion between the lion and the people who raised him is one year after he was released into the wild. You can read the story here on MSNBC.

Bobby Cutts Crying at Trial

Watch and listen to Bobby Cutts, Jr. cry here.

What do you think?

Read moreDoes it strike you as unusual? Perhaps fake?

At first glance, we don’t see tears, but since the camera isn’t dead-centered on him, we can’t be certain he isn’t tearing up, though I would bet great odds that he is not.

What strikes me as unusual and odd here is how Cutts is crying.

I sat and listened to it for a moment, and I began to see a child cry. You know when children get so upset, and they are nearly hysterical, they cry so hard they can’t breath. When they speak, and cry, the words are broken between involuntarily gasps of air. The body forces the child to breath in the midst of his tantrum, like it or not, and the result in an involuntary stuttering of words.

Well, Cutts seems to be imitating this, doesn’t he? But what is causing Cutts to do this? He isn’t in hysterics, he isn’t out of breath from crying so hard. So why is he stuttering his words?

The only time I have witnessed grown adults displaying this behavior is when they ARE in hysterics due to a trauma, accident or crisis, and that display only lasts in the immediate time surrounding the crisis until they gain their composure. It’s more of a shock response than anything. Once the initial shock wears off, this behavior usually dissipates and doesn’t return.

When was the last time you saw an adult cry and grasp for air like Cutts is here when he or she was not experiencing a trauma, crisis or accident but rather recollecting a traumatic event months down the road?

It’s definitely a red flag.

As for the rest of Bobby Cutts story about what happened, what are the odds that someone would die from an accidental hit in the neck with an elbow? The odds are pretty slim. Wouldn’t football players keel over all the time then? Furthermore, if it was an accident, why did he dispose of her body?

Joran Van der Sloot Acts Out

Joran Van der Sloot showed poor impulse control on a Dutch talk show Friday. After a the show ended, Van der Sloot is seen getting up and tossing a glass of wine into a crime reporters eyes: a crime reporter who questioned Van der Sloot’s honesty.

This does not bode well for Van der Sloot considering he is still a person of interest in the disappearance of Natalie Holloway. Does Van der Sloot have a problem when he doesn’t get his way?

I’ve always liked Clint Van Zant. What he says in the video above reflects my own feelings as well.

Genuine Emotions, or Not?

A reader asked me yesterday to comment on Hillary Clinton’s emotions in this video yesterday. Do I believe they are genuine, or are they faked?

I believe that Hillary Clinton is being absolutely genuine here. Look at her eyes. They get glassy (wet). She opens them wide to see better because of the moisture. Her voice cracks. Her pitch changes, and the facial expressions she makes supports someone who is feeling emotional.

Got a question about a candidates body language or facial expression? Ask me.
