Are you easy to read or inscrutable?

I'm fascinated by body language. We all give unconscious signs of our true feelings.
I don't know if my face gives me away a lot but I do know usually how my husband is feeling just by looking at him. He blushes when he is upset or found to be wrong about something! He doesn't know that.

So do you have the kind of face that gives you away or can you hide things fairly well? I think I can, when I decide to.

I have wondered how I would stand up to interrogation by a trained person. They know every sign to look for.
 

One of the community college classes I attended while considering changing my electronics career to psychology and most fascinating was Non Verbal communication that many people have little awareness or understanding of. Very obvious since the Internet arose that filters such out. Yet many ignorant of such communication users, write as though it isn't there by confabulating their own emotions into online conversations that opposite parties never intended.

What Are the 9 Types of Nonverbal Communication?
 
I'd be at the mercy of investigators if I was ever interrogated. My face says it all.

It must be a friendly face, though. I approach people and make friends of them very quickly. I made a good friend of 95% of my neighbors when I'd only lived here for a few months. The other 5% are unfortunate, imo, but that's their problem.

Well, of course I care, but I think she meant I very seldom get excited over anything. My dad was pretty much the same way. I think men and women ar different in that regard. Do you remember watching any game shows like “The Price Is Right?” They call a woman down to be a contestant and in many cases they become very excited. When a man gets called down to be a contestant, the most you see is a big smile.

A few years ago, my wife won $50,000 on one of the lottery programs. I think it was the Match 6. I won’t say how excited she was, but it took her most of the day to collect herself. I was happy for her, but I didn’t get too excited over it. I told her I was glad for her and I really meant it. I seldom buy a lottery ticket, so it’s doubtful that I will ever win, but we never know.
 
Pretty sure my face usually displays, 'no chit-chat here...'
If we are sitting around with friends, the wife will ask me a question
to drag me into the conversation.
After the one or two words reply from me, she usually gives up.

I care about other's opinions, just haven't figured out how to reply when in a physical setting.
 
People often misread me. I push people away when they try to befriend me, so people think I'm an "ass," as one woman called me. She said, "You really are an ass, aren't you." I really don't mean anybody any harm; I'm just not comfortable with people.
 
People know exactly what I'm thinking., which is a b***h, because everybody knows when I'm lying. So, I can't lie. One of my teachers said she watched me to see if her teaching was getting through. I've gotten in bar spats, because a guy "read" what I was thinking about him. I never said a word.
 
I don't think people can tell what I am thinking. I spent too long hiding things when I was younger and I sometimes don't know why but I could probably guess it has to do with my hearing ability. My husband is an open book.
 
People can read everything on my face or by my actions. I couldn’t hide a thing even if I tried. I’m also an open book. I’ll tell you anything. I have no secrets. Nobody has ever called me a woman of mystery.
