half of them just gave me "wtf dude" vibes but with different intonations
Same lol
YES
THIS.
The model was probably "wtf"ing at the camera man's suggestions
Saaaaaaaame
I love how a third of them can be desribed as "cringe", while another third can be described as "I need a visit to the optometrist".
right? most of them i wanted to say either cringe or disgusted
two of my guesses (6 & 17) were "I think he was watching jellybean vids or something"
I literally wrote that for some of mine. “Can’t see” was the answer for 2 of them.
I put "can't see" on so many
haha I had 'confused' as the answer/part of the answer like, 4 times (suggested but not written maybe more) and the answer was never the word confused
For people saying they were neurotypical and couldn’t tell either- that is because these aren’t genuine reactions and expressions. This guy is trained to make these facial expressions so some of them are over dramatic. I’m autistic and not too bad with facial expressions but damn this dude is confusing!
I am neroutyocal and got all but one. The reason people had trouble is they forgot you could have compounded emotions
@@conradkorbol that’s very true as well!
@@conradkorbol Compounded emotions?
@@bucket6487 yeah, like how you can be happily disgusted. You can feel more than one thing at once. When a child farts I feel very different than when a 30 year old farts. A two year ripping one is fucking hilarious. It’s so funny, it’s still gross, but it’s funny. Where a 30 year old man farting is gross and angering.
Emotions that have multiple levels or are two emotions combined.
I am NT i as far as I know( I have an appointment in one year but for something else). But i can't read photos at all. I can read faces or the room with context like movement, voice timbre and body posture of ppl etc. The longer i stare in still pictures the more expressions i see and i can go full circle seeing every emotion. It's like saying the same word for a minute or more and the word loses its meaning and you wonder why that word has its usage and how arbitrary it is in itself. My experience at least
For many of these it is easier for me to imagine a scenario that might cause that facial expression, than to assign a specific word to that facial expression. It occurs to me that there are certain feelings you would only experience for second or two before changing to something else. For example, if someone is startled they would only experience "startle" for a split second before either calming down or switching to fear.
100% half of them were just me saying ew or ugh in different tones of voice
i'm neurotypical and i couldn't really identify his emotions either. i never have any problems with that with people irl, but this guy ?? wtf
Ya same
I think it's also because we're given no context... sometimes I get what face he's making and I know when you would make it but I don't know what emotion it is? If I were to see someone making It in a conversation, i would usually understand why and what it means and how to react to it. But seeeing the same man just doing 20 different faces that could mean various things at different moments is confusing and messing with my brain.
yeah same here
for reallll
A large part of the problem is that he’s not making the faces triggered as a genuine reaction. He is trained to act or mimic these expressions on cue while possibly imagining or remembering a false or past event.
They used to show me these kinds of things in therapy as a kid to get me to recognize faces and im just sitting there like "brenda no one makes these faces, you are insane"
Haha. They are if they are doing that.
OMG same! These pictures are not good indicators of reading emotions
@@hailsateen9219 for real, like im already confused and now theyre throwing in these fake ass faces like how is that supposed to help me lol
Yeah, I didn't know I was autistic in my teenages, but I realized when I was 16 that I didn't understand facial expression and I tried to study with these images or similar drawings in encyclopedias, and really I learned better asking directly to people how do they really feel. Sometimes they lie. They usually say they're fine when they're bad, so here's the tip, learning when they're really fine is half the knowledge.
@@Znatsnaz Yeah thats the biggest thing I struggle with. People either joke and say theyre dramatically off put by small things or they say theyre find with tragic things and im just like 👁👃👁
I understood all of these faces, and knew exactly how they felt, but I'm just not sure how to describe most of them in one word
Same
“Elated” was the perfect answer. You nailed that one!
i don't think any neurotypicals could ace this. not me at least.
edit: about that...
Not autistic but I have ptsd which to some people qualifies me as neaurodivergent....... ummm??? I do not understand half of these faces I haven't seen the results yet but I'm fairly certain I'm wrong on most of these.
That's because you only THOUGHT you were neurotypical! Mwahahaha! >:)
@@honestguyintelligent3022 oh…oh no…
yeah as someone who is neurotypical (as far as i’m aware) these expressions seem really put on and unrealistic to what people use irl ?
yupppp i’m neurotypical i think and i literally had no clue what majority of the facial expressions were or how to describe them like none of them had a word for it because they were all the same.
Me, an autistic person: “I don’t actually have a problem with facial expressions, this will be fun”
All the pictures starting from the third: “I’m about to end this woman’s whole career”
same lmao
SAME! I thought, this won’t be hard, I can usually see right through people hiding their emotions….
I was not prepared to fail this hard haha
omg same haha
Same! I always dismissed the possibility that I could be autistic because I can’t usually pick up on peoples moods. This test confirms it’s not because of facial expressions. When Paige was saying how similar a bunch of these were I was like yes! Are there duplicates?!
Oh my gosh, same!! Haha
I think you should’ve had all the pictures of the faces/emotions and a separate list of all the emotion names (out of order) and tried to match them. I’m neurotypical and honestly this was difficult for me as well.
You have such a bright smile oh my god
that’s not a bad thing at all, it just radiates genuine happiness full force and it makes me feel happy
I stand by the fact that there are exactly 4 emotions: happy, angry, sad, surprised and if they’re not purposely exaggerated they just blend together into pleasant and unpleasant
how about confused? i agree other than that but perhaps that’s just more of a mental state that is expressed on your face and through your body and speech (but maybe all emotions are like that haha)
also confused and disgust
@@playdoh658 those aren't emotions
@@yerdasellsavon9232 but confusion and disgust are emotions. :/ I think. Now I have a bit of a mess on my head, there are feelings, moods, and emotions and I usually don't differentiate them from each other.
I guess I ought to do some reading on the subject.
@@queenseby disgust is feeling or expressing revulsion or strong disapproval and is definitely emotion.
confusion... can be paired with frustration. some "similar" words to confusion is bewildered, perplexed, puzzled, dazed. I think people say they feel confused but I don't think it's an emotion in itself. it can be paired with anger, fear, sadness, happiness and surprise....
but it can show on the face. when I'm thinking, I furrow my brow, and it gets more pronounced when I'm confused. It can look like I'm angry but I'm not.
so, like, it's more than just emotion that is shown on the face, isn't it? (I'm not neurotypical)
I'm allistic but I do have ADHD. To me these pictures aren't useful because they've been completely divorced from any context, and context is super important when trying to understand someone else's emotions. If nothing else, I think these would work better if they were short video clips; at least then you'd have a little extra information.
i totally agree. without any context, we solely rely on how good or bad this guy is at making pretend faces anyway.
Adha means neurodivergent, does it not?
@@darklittlepeople THIS
@@lfairy6130 It does mean neurodivergent! But some people with ADHD also are autistic. Some, aren't, they are (like all people who aren't autistic) allistic. All of those people with some combination or another of ADHD & autism are neurodivergent 😊
@@eleanoreliz the original commentor stated they're not neurodivergent, yet have ADHD. So they are neurodivergent.
You are seriously the cutest. You just popped up on my recommended and you earned my sub, first time I've ever seen you in my whole life.
One emotion faces - acing it
Two emotion faces - why would you do this to me
This test is so weird “sadly angry” “sadly surprised” “happily disgusted”
Yesss
Adverbs fan type huh
it’s just the inside out emotions combined memories 😮
ok how is "sadly surprised" not just "disappointed"bc i kept putting that on a few of them and it says sadly surprised what even
@Lu M my thought with that face is like your friend says something dumb or gross but it’s still funny so you’re kinda disgusted but laughing anyway
The problem with these is that none of them are genuine and that's why I can't tell them apart because my body language knowledge only works with the real thing lol
Also wth, I didn't know we were allowed to answer with 2 different emotions lol
My problem is that I need to know the individual persons personal body language patterns to grasp their emotions properly, and even then I'm often lost
They might not be genuine but they are using and flexing the right muscles for the right expressions. It’s based on Dr. Paul Ekman studies.
@@lallymack how is there a "right" face to make in different situations
These would have been better, they actually look like faces I've seen people make www.deviantart.com/majnouna/art/Emotions-and-Facial-Expression-47118559
@@Jane-oz7pp well there are some common factors though
i loveeeee your makeup! It looks so perfect
This made me feel so much better about myself haha. I always struggle with these kinds of tests.
I’m neuro-typical and I was struggling just as much as you lol. These are not natural looking at all lol
Agreed. Since it is unnatural, they should have just showed photos of a mime woman posing (I have a thing for mimes).
They all look too dramatic. The model definitely doesn’t act, or act well.
they're so confusing. i'm usually okay with this stuff
Same! I’m also neuro-typical but an autism mom and I was thinking the same thing. These faces are so over exaggerated to the point where it’d make anyone have a hard time trying to figure ‘em out.
Also, I feel like depending on the situation a lot of those faces can be interpreted in few different ways. Definitely no clear cut answers, for the good majority of them, if you ask me.
im neurotypical and this made my brain hurt so much lmaoo. we had similar answers in most things and imo the correct answers were dumb. i just gave up trying to name the emotions at the end and tried to describe them instead lolol
Is it weird that I was coming up with detailed scenarios in which these expressions would be used rather than words to describe them? Like “okay your friend said something gross but also it was funny so you’re laughing” rather than “happily disgusted” or something?
yeah one of the faces was that he just saw a rat and this guy thinks rats are yucky
omg you're so close to 100K!!
"he...just saw Sia's movie"
accurate 😂
I thought this was so interesting to watch, as a neurotypical. I couldn't put an exact word to each emotion, but I could immediately understand what each one was and put a situation to it. Like, for happily disgusted, I thought of someone telling an embarrassing story to their friend, and that was their reaction to something like "and then I found out my cat pooped in my shoes"
Same here. I didn't have the word for it (neither did they! "Angrily fearful") but I could say the words that the person might say and their intonation.
Im autistic🙂😄😃
Exactly, I'm autistic and doing tests and quizzes I'm like "depends. " and "be more specific."😂
Oooooo! So, happily disgusted is sort of like... disgusted, but also finding it kind of... funny? I was wondering what that one meant, thanks!
The one where he was smiling but frowning and with his eyes amost closed made me think of him going "whaaaat? No, I don't like Cristine..." Or like laughing to hide something that embarrases him
This is so not what people look like, when they have these emotions. What I find funny is that every person is different, therefore expresses emotions also differently. So for me, I always have to study each person, how the person reacts in situations, what expressions this person shows in which situation, and so on. Some people are harder to read, and other ones easier. Even in my past relationship, I always asked my boyfriend so many times what he was thinking in a particular moment, because I noticed an expression in his face, which I could not place anywhere. I am only realising now what a tough job that is. WOW! I had many eye openers within the past week.
Thank you Paige for your videos. I noticed so many similarities with you, so shocking. The lalala singing, which I always do to keep my focus... or just the way you talk, think, the thing with your hair, your care for animals, easy communication with animals and children, thinking out loud, speaking what you think (straight, up front),... :D Thes list is long.
A lot of warm regards,
Kat
love the eyeliner!!
This is deceptive because the person in the photos is forcing his facial expressions and they're not reflective of real emotions.
Yes
Unless he knows how to access the emotional part of his brain which involves hardwired facial expressions. When Tyra Banks teaches people how to smize, she often said to think of something that makes them happy.
These are all exaggerated versions of real emotions.
You are right that most people are more subtle. But all these elements are there in real facial expressions. I have literally all of these. Besides awed.
@@autismlifehacks5233 Yeah that's called acting, and this guy isn't the best at it
That's why I guessed "annoyed" at every single picture
ok, when i read "happily disgusted" it totally invalidated this whole experiment for me. like, "oh, ok, so we can make shit up now, huh ?!" 😂
It's is a thing. Like when you hear a gross joke and it's kind of cringe, but it catches you off guard as its funny. Like a dirty dad joke. That's what it made me think of at least
No, it's like "oh, you did not just say that, did you?" and he finds it funny but inappropriate.
I had no trouble catching that face (although I did not call it happily disgusted, lol) because it is often on the faces of people around me because I tend to blurt out things that maybe I shouldn't have said!
I'm ADHD but not autistic.
No, you never laughed at soemthing gross? You have never met someone who made a gross face and started laughing. It’s a real thing
I see it as like when you're super drunk and your friend poops on something but this is also coming from a person who is not old enough to drink
i think i remember seeing pewdiepie making a similar face during his minecraft lets play, when he was like laughing at himself for actually enjoying the game
I love your videos. You really make me feel understood and listened to because we share a lot of the same opinions and concerns.
beautiful makeup!!😍
For me he was a kid either saying “oops mom i’m sorry please don’t ground me” or “PLEASE I WANT THAT TOY SO BAD PLEASE MOM”, or it was just a “wtf dude” face. That’s it.
Pretty much the same for me. Also "Dude, really?" Came to mind a lot.
I thought they were all going to be one word emotions and was so confused as to what most of these could be but it turns out they were mostly mixed emotions. Overall I totally agree that a portion of these are very unrealistic real life reactions (like the sad one in particular).
okay hold up the part where you were vocal stimming and you started singing, your voice is amazing! wth! you should totally record a cover or something! 😍
I swear nobody makes these facial expressions. They just all made it look like the person in the photo was confused 😭
NT here. I found some of those faces very confusing lol
Yup. I agree and not because I am bad with identifying facial expressions. I am not, I do perfectly fine and I was confused lol. This guy does a bad job.
The answers to all the ones after 5 just seemed silly. I mean i was like concerned, disgusted, doin the "oh man that sucks" face etc while all the answers are fearfully surprised, angrily disgusted.... Like the people who set the test only know 4 emotions and use them in different combos.
I am pretty sure I am good with faces but after 5 I just thought they were all sneezing.
@@hayleygrimes8804 that makes me feel better I have Aspergers and ASHD and I think I got about 8 or 9 right
@@Dancestar1981 That is good.
Im not autistic but even I had problems with his facial expressions.They all looked alike🤷♀️
Same!
18 is the "customer service smile". The smile you smile when something doesn't scan and the customer is all "oh its free then, right? Haha!" as if you've never heard that.
Paige has a wonderful attitude so you go girl! God Bless
Your eyes are so pretty!
Theres absolutely no way that she hasnt been told that a million times already lol.....otherwise I'd say it too O.O
@@bringer-of-change it's always great to complement
i can imagine exactly what sound they’re making but not what they’re thinking 😭😭
I thought I’d be good at this. I said “happy, sad, mad...confused? Confused? Maybe confused?” 😂
This was super hard. I think we are better at placing these faces into scenarios than we are at necessarily naming them. I agree that they’re difficult to figure out when they aren’t genuine. I work in pediatric OT, and I rarely use pictures like this except to gauge basic understanding. Usually, I’ll pick a clip from the kid’s preferred show and we will talk about what the characters might be feeling and use context clues to figure it out. Kids are way better at this and I think it lends itself to generalization in real life much better than just a picture. Thanks for sharing, love your channel!
I could only get halfway through. His faces made me feel so anxious
???????????
It’s so good to see how positive you are compared to last time!
she could be masking, tho:)
I think just letting people be and not announcing when they are appearing more “healthy” is probably the best, and kindest thing to do.
You can still give your compliments but just don’t compare! :)
@@JubilantJessy she didn't say "healthy" she said positive, which is objective
@@JubilantJessy I didn’t mean it to come across that way, sorry if it did. I was just so happy to see her seeming upbeat at the beginning.
@@stevie5076 I think I projected my own feelings on how I am personally comfortable with people addressing my growth and spoke to quickly. The commenter above is correct it was objective. Sorry about that.
tbh i struggled a lot too lmao also bc apparently i couldn't remember any emotions other than happy, sad, angry and surprised ajdjkd
also i just gotta say you're absolutely gorgeous and i love your makeup so much 🥺💖
I think the real problem with this exercise is that these expressions are independent of environmental context clues, which is a really big factor in how many of us decide on what expression/reaction someone is having. I think anyone just looking at a photo without any other context would really struggle. Which isn't to say "oh everyone experiences this" but more like the inability to interpret emotions/expressions isn't always just not being able to understand the expression someone is making, but also the struggle to use and identify context clues around us that lead us to infer what someone's facial expression means, if that... makes sense.
As an allistic, I have to say that most people don’t have facial expressions that dramatic
Yeah
Imagine a world where people made this faces daily in real life :-)))
In real life, people also don't display them that long. There are often microexpressions that last for as little as 1/25 of a second! It's socially acceptable to keep certain facial expressions brief by suppressing them.
nobody cares if youre an "allistic," anyone can understand that
@@zarrowthehorse shut up
I'm glad you're feeling a lot better than you were last time you posted. I was legit concerned for your wellbeing after that one. As for this video, I was expecting this to be easy (I'm not diagnosed but I suspect I'm ND), but either that guy has the most unexpressive, weird face or I'm really bad at this.
I'm NT but this test was weird as hell, noone actually looks like that when they feel any type of way...
having masked for over 30 years with my stimming and the way I am, I have become very good at seeing others and being able to tell how they are feeling from facial expressions, but body posture and movement plays a major role in telling how the facial expressions go together, is not being able to guess how others are feeling from facial expressions, really an autistic trait, or is it something more, I have become very good at hiding myself around others, but I slip up sometimes and I am called out on it, my wife notices my stimming a lot more now, as they have become more assertive in my life and it helps me cope, it hurts me to look at other peoples eyes when talking to them, but either through my masking or me being able to put up with the pain, I can, even though it hurts me I have done this. Now I am coming to terms, that in this day and age I no longer need to put myself through this pain, I can stare in another direction and space out, whilst still talking to someone, but if it is more than 1 person talking at time, then I am in bewilderment and cannot process, thus putting my hands to my ears, I now wear ear plugs to block out a lot of the noise. Okay I failed in a lot of those, I wonder if it was because there is no body to go with the head, so unable to see the entire thing.
"Happily disgusted" is like when someone is telling a story where something gross happened, but in a funny way. Like, say that a baby's diaper leaked on the mom and she was already late for something, so it was a whole situation where she was rushing and trying to deal with it. Comedy movies often use this sort of scenario.
I feel like I could think of a scenario where each face would apply, but not the specific word for the expression.
You have a nice singing voice!!
I had a hard time figuring out the facial expressions, I keep thinking to small like happy, sad, mad, the other emotions are too confusing
This test was bananas. You got the important emotions, all those combined ones were ridiculous and I didn’t get them as an allistic person.
“This guys face is gonna haunt my dreams” had me flyinggg 😂
Yayyy I love your vids!! And after watching it I definitely agree that those facial expressions would be hard for anyone to get!😭🤣
Why is it two emotions together? This is making my head hurt 😂
What I got from this video is, that Inside Out is a great movie to learn about emotions.
Because Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger are emotions that work together.
I can't tell emotions apart (sad and happy were the only easy ones), it's so much easier to tell the situation where I would make that expression
“This would be hard for literally anybody to do.” Pretty much, yeah. Virtually no one could accurately guess the descriptions of most of the expressions beyond “happy,” “sad” and “angry” or correctly guess the variations of “fearful” and “disguted” (which apparently exist).
as an allistic person these still makes no sense
You’re facial expressions got me 😂😂 ahaha I had to keep pausing bc I want to participate but I keep fricken laughing
I struggled with the same ones you did! It’s like, if I haven’t been able to observe people making those facial expressions throughout my life, I won’t know what it is
Oh my I'm excited and nervous to see how *I* will do. One of my special interests is body langugae (I love the Observe YT channel, Logan is very inclusive and his content is super educational 🤗) so I hope I'll do good after all the research and practice I've done. I used to be awful at this tho, and felt very alienated as a kid/teen so I went and sought help from psychologist so they could help me build up my social skills and I've worked on them for years now. I'm actually impressed by my own progression 😁.
I’m actually getting frustrated with how complicated this is. I’m concentrating so much on it i feel a build up like the need to stim.
Omg girl same! This is awesome. Also...spent half the video going "why are there so many derivations on the same theme? What are these NTs really out here doing lmao!
Thanks for teaching me a new word! As an allistic person, this was definitely hard and most of the later ones could be open to interpretation without context.
I feel like I answered “confused” for all of these because whenever I feel a certain way I also say that I feel very confused 🧍🏼♂️
It’s difficult because none of those are real facial expressions, I feel like if they made them more accurate to real life it’d be easier the only one I definitely got was the sad angry because it looks like me in a meltdown 💀 but then I also understood happy and sad because they’re taught that way I just feel like it’s not a good representation of them
I like how you say 'why are there more emotions from Happy Sad Angry' because when I do these things I pretty much default to happy sad or angry. Occasionally I have 'confused'. That's about it.
I usually find they FORCE you to pick 1 of 3/4 options and NONE of the options seem right so I pick a random guess and the results are uninteresting because they're not really based on my interpretation.
*shrugs*
In real life I mostly just process in 2 groups; happy, sad. That's it.
Once I know if the face is positive or negative then I use their tone of voice, body language, words, and behaviour to determine what other emotions it might be.
And I'm severely Alexithymic, so my emotive word range is VERY limited.
So I ALWAYS ask friends and family for their opinion once I've gathered enough 'data', as it were, and they help me make sense of it.
I'm 4:30 in and you're doing so well! These are not realistic faces, they're actually quite funny 😂
As a neurotypical person, I got the majority wrong. They’re just really confusing
Video idea: take the emotion answer key and YOU recreate them haha
Half way through and you've done pretty well. Mind you, when somebody pulls their head back, that's form of revulsion. Proper revulsion is easy enough. It's mostly combined with a cringe. The weird thing about revulsion as something to watch for is that it pairs with make extreme reaction and emotions. The problem is that as an emotion, it's like onions and garlic: you can pick it up at low concentrations, but it has a tendency to overpower itself and everything else.
Also, it's nice to see someone somewhat like me doing the things. My "fitting in" was less than perfect and the less perfect parts of that have been hard and, while I've only watched a few of your videos, a younger me envies your ability to sing and not shut down.
it’s so funny to see that you do the same thing i do: mimicking the emotion and try to understand it through past experiences. It makes so much sense to me. Some pictures are so hard to understand. I noticed i understand basic emotion (like in Inside out), but when there are more than one at the same time... it’s a mess 😂
Haha yes dude!!! 👌🏼👌🏼✌🏼
A rare Verified person appeared..
1 to 7 are not that hard, but seriously... does any person get the following faces? Who don't have autism?
Dude, I love your stuff.
The pictures are pretty ambiguous. What test is it? Would be neat to use an empirical/validated measure for expression recognition! Which this might be, I have no idea.
I thought I was going to do so well on this quiz before you started. I did not. 😂
"Is that an emotion" is an amazing quote. "Why are there more emotions" is too. Look into the feeling diagram, with like the different feelings on a map, it might help you to understand a lot of emotions easier, maybe idk everyone's different.
You did so well, most of these faces look the sameeee
Dude I'm a neuro-typical, and these faces don't make any sense 😂
In real life, there are other social cues like body language, tone of voice, and context. It's also not animated like in real life
i started out so strong and was excited but the farther i got the more my brain hurts. Like you said no one makes these facial expression IRL, theyre way more subtle and harder to understand, yet these still got me lol
You imitating the faces. Love it.
Me before the video: I don't struggle with emotions usually but let's watch
Me after: what
Saaaaame
....I truly underestimated this LMAO. After 1 & 2 I was like "this won't be hard" and then #3 popped up....
Bro for a lot of these I couldn’t think of the word but I imagined what they might be saying and that matched up better 😂
"I'm never talking to someone face to face ever again." That's a whooooooole mood.
me trying to decipher these expressions the entire video:
wha- gurl idk tf...
My faces are
Happy:😐
Stimmy:😆
Mask:🙂
Sad:😔
Surprised:😐
Angry:😑
And that is pretty much it
Maybe autistic facial expressions are hardwired differently but we need research to prove it. Alexithymia could also affect how we express emotions. For example, we might confuse the victory smile when we win a game with the I'm so happy to be my best friend smile, and express them at the wrong time. Masking could also play a role. For example, an autistic person could feel very happy thinking about their special interests when all alone but feel the need to suppress their facial expressions to fit in.
This is so hard even for neurotypical people !
I thought that the answers tended to make sense when I heard them but most of the time I couldn't have guessed better than you, there's just the picture "disgusted" that I had guessed better.
I mean... how can you be fearfully sad ? fearfully happy or whatever ? These mixed emotions are so hard to get ! I don't know if this has to do with the kind of social anxiety I have but when people talk to me I hardly understand what they feel and mean if I don't know them and their facial expressions enough. So yes this one was a hard one. And also, this guy's face is not really expressive... He always shows the same expressions but they mean different things ???
I was sifting through my DBT emotion wheel in my head and this whole time they were combining a few emotions? I'm low-key annoyed by that. There are so many good emotion-oriented words. I was throwing out "embarrassed", "uncomfortable", "apologetic", "dread". Honestly, I gave myself points cuz mine made more sense. haha! I'm not neurotypical, but I'm decent at identifying emotions naturally and very much practiced with putting language to emotions I notice and experience. Anyways.
Great video!! It was really fun to test myself alongside you!
Hey Paige, can you tell us a little bit about what it was like for you starting school? How you handled and adjusted to a change in your then schedule? Your parents perspective would also be very interesting to hear as well. Just a random thought I had thinking about children with autism.
"I need more emotion words" is a mood
When i got diagnosed my neuropsych showed me similar kinds of pictures and i tried really hard but after like 3 i just couldn't stop crying because it stressed me out so much
Lol! I have a son who's on the autism spectrum and I just started busting out laughing watching your video and I'm only 5 minutes into it! I deal with seeing these faces on a daily basis but seeing you do it is hilarious! Thank you for the video!
It definitely seems like they had to invent a few expressions to fill a quota
Forehead answers are not my final answers. 😂😂😂
I can't recognise facial expressions but I am able to recognise tones of voice that's how I know if someone is mad at me or not 😁 that helpes me like A LOT
watching body language analysts like the yt channel observe have helped me understand minor movements in expression tho and his vids are cool
