As a teenager I trained myself to recognize specific small details that reliably distinguish between otherwise similar-looking expressions; tightened muscles, gaze direction, shoulder height and angle, things like that.

Could you do a discussion post on this? It would really help me.

That's something I've wanted to do for a while, and I've tried to start writing the post a couple times, but I've had a really hard time putting a lot of it into words. I'll give it another shot, though, interest is highly motivating.

I would also be very interested in a post on that topic.
