Description
Most people learn the fundamentals of emotions — but applying that knowledge accurately in real-world interactions is far more complex.
Facial expressions are shaped by context, intensity, and individual differences. Emotions don’t appear in neat, textbook forms, and misunderstanding them often begins with an incomplete understanding of the basics.
