Body language of anger: When reading the nonverbal communication of men or women there are sometimes where the body language is 100% obvious. There are also times where you will have to read into the micro expressions of others the help you understand or interpret what is going on.
Micro expressions are really a way that you can read minds of other people by looking at what they are doing. You can even tell if they are surprised or have contempt just from looking at the face.
It is important to remember that most mirco expression only happen for a fraction of a second and some instances they can last longer. You may just get an ever so slight moment to catch on to what a man or woman is feeling or thinking.
While reading the micro expressions of anger you will want to look at the face of the man or woman and look for:
- · The eyebrows
- · The eyes
- · The mouth
Body language of anger – The eyebrows
The micro expressions of men and women will be the same when it comes to anger. You will start by looking at their eyebrows. When angry the eyebrows will tilt in towards the center of the face or both will be flat and lower. There will be times where the nonverbal communication of anger will be felt from others just from looking at the eyebrows.
Body language of anger – The eyes
When reading the body language of anger the eyes will have a glare to them. In some instances the man or the woman will squint their eyes and in some instances even with the eyebrows down or flat the eyes will be wide open.
Body language of anger – The mouth
The body language of anger in a man or woman will also show through with their mouth. When the micro expressions of anger is shown at the mouth it will be done so through the narrowing of the lips. It may seem as if the man or the woman is biting their lips or holding them so tight they can’t let a word out of their mouth.
Body language of anger – other nonverbal cues from the body
When people are angry their body language or actions will be more animated. The man or the woman may shake their finger at another person and at times their hands will be as far away from the body as possible. You may see the person stomp, waive their arms, punch at non animated objects or people or they may just ball up wherever they are. When a man or woman is angry it is best to leave them alone and stay away from them as your actions may provoke them even further.
How to improve your micro expression skills
In order to experience the body language of anger one of the best things to do is look in the mirror and pretend that you are angry. You will want to look at your eyebrows, your nose and your mouth so that you can see exactly what your own micro expressions are and what your nonverbal communication shows others when you have a feeling or an emotion that can be read off of your face. This goes for any of the other micro expressions also.
As always I would like to thank you in advance for your comments and or questions about reading the body language of anger!
Now go implement!

Oh, the look of anger. I think that is one we we all have seen. Do anger and hate have the same facial expressions?
Yours In Health!

Interesting about the eyebrows and the mouth both “flattening.” I also like how you point out that gestures all outside the bell bubble. Very accurate based on my experience.

Scott, thanks for another amazingly informative post! Anger does seem like one of those things you should look out for when talking to people.
Are there any expressions for irritability? Kind of like a “precursor” to anger?

Practing expressions in a mirror and noticing the changes. Good idea!

Hi Scott,
I am loving this series on microexpressions and knowing what to look for in each case. I think this one on anger is something everyone can benefit from … I know I can … in order to keep alert to an ever-changing environment.
Stay Amazing, Neil
Cool topic
I understand that dogs can read over 200 micro expressions … we humans only about 25.
This is why our dogs are so “smart” they know when we say we are taking them for a “ride in the car” to get an ice cream cone that we are really taking them to the Vet for a shot.

Lyle
not sure if my wife would appreciate it if I “go implement being angry”! ;>)
I think this is probably an easy emotion to read generally but having demosntrated the little things that we should be taking a look at, it makes it so much easier.
Thanks Scott!

I like Lyles comment that his dog can read over 200 micro expressions. I think my cat can read even more! This is a great series for us humans, too.
