Type: Concept

As of November 2026, Microexpressions has been mentioned in 2 episodes across 1 podcast, first heard Aug 2025 on The Proven Podcast. In the episode "Win Every Negotiation," Charles discusses how understanding microexpressions can enhance negotiation skills. Similarly, in "How to Build Instant Connection," David Razowsky highlights the importance of recognizing microexpressions to foster better interpersonal relationships. Both episodes emphasize the practical applications of microexpressions in communication and connection.

A microexpression is a facial expression with very short duration. It is the innate result of a voluntary and an involuntary emotional response occurring simultaneously and conflicting with one another. It occurs when the amygdala responds appropriately to the stimuli that the individual experiences and wishes to conceal this specific emotion. This results in briefly displaying their true emotions followed by a false emotional reaction.
