This video shows a sequence of five individuals listening to their romantic partners talk about times when they suffered.

  • barely any eye contact, or upper torso forwardness... maybe needs better eye view for expected microexpression in regard to the context of the conversation.

  • GG, AKA the deer in the headlights genotype.

  • The body language says it all –> what they do with their eyes and hands plus the way they sit and move (or do not move) their bodies. Nr 1 is a trustworthy and emphatic man. Nr 4 is an emphatic and trustworthy woman.

  • I think the third one has.
