Do you have a face that gives you away? I mean if you are miserable does your face show it, or are you good at hiding it?If you are upset or angry for example can you put on a pretence In other words do you have a poker face. Expressionless face which gives away absolutely NOTHING to the other person who is trying to gauge your reaction or how you are thinking?Can you lie without looking the other way, looking embarrassed, blushing or start fidgeting?My face gives me away immediately, I usually go around with a frown, a growl a leave me alone face! I must look like a right miserable grouch My mum always says 'I can see by your face' if I don't like something, dead give away! I would be hopeless at poker!So does your face give you away? Can you hide emotions, can you put on the 'brave face' or the famous British 'stiff upper lip'?

Not really.. Days when I'm happy, others think I'm ill or upset etc. Othertimes they can't tell, it's only rarely I guess someone can tell by my facial expressions. It's more to do with my tone of voice or how I actually speak.

Hello dear wolfie. I don't think that my face tells all because sometimes I can keep my emotion hidden though not always. Ok, let me say this way, half vs half. Usually when I am over-upset or extremely happy, my face tells. As to minor or so-so ones, my face does not tell. Thanks.

Hi Wolfie, I do have a face that tells all. Even though I try my hardest not to let my feelings show at times, I can't control it really. I'm not a liar, I can't lie to anyone, either face to face or on the phone. I just can't keep myself from giving it away! So, I can't lie at all! Not a good thing to practice anyway. LOL My hubby is good at this. I mean he hides his feelings really well. Just the other night when he came home, and I wouldn't have known this unless he said something to me, he was in a really bad mood, and felt he snapped at me. He was apologising and I was thinking what for? LOL This isn't all the time, but most times you would not know anything was bothering him. Maybe I want the attention, that's why I let it show so much. I don't know, it's just hard to hide them. My face as well as my body actions will tell all! Bay Lay Gray xx

My face reads like an open book! Even if I try to conceal how I am feeling, my face and body language gives it away. This happens the most when I am upset or angry. I don't usually blush, but my expressions give me away in other ways.

I guess I can hide my thoughts my emotions.. But not always. I have been able to hide it most of the times. Yet on some occasions, I lose control over my face. It gives me up.

that depends. i will hide my feeling when i meet a stranger,but when i stay with my friends or relations, i usually wear my feeling on my face.

At time, I have a really good poker face but during the times that my emotions are too tough to handle, it shows on my face. I'm rather good at playing tricks on my friends that require relatively good acting skills and so I get lots of practice. But when I get trapped in the blues, I hardly care to put a poker face on. Masking anger is a little bit harder for me. When I'm angry, my eyebrows meet and unintentionally revealing what I'm feeling but of course they are times I could easily let things pass by putting a little smile on my face.

No, I can't, what ever there in my mind, happy, sadness, tension anything my dear and nears can easily read it from my face. whatever my emotions that will reflect in my face, really my face is mirror of my mind.

I think that there are times that i try to hide my emotions like when i'm sad if it's needed to hide. Sometimes i need to pretend to be happy whenever im sad because i dont want other people feel what i feel and i dont want people to pity me. I really dont know if im good in hiding emotions but i know the people around me - i mean close to me who knows me, are sensitive enough to feel that. So i think they know pretty well that it's just a face only when im sad thats only sometimes but usually im very much transparent.You will know me when im angry or when im sad, or when im happy, or when im pissed off or annoyed or when i feel insulted but of course when its needed to hide or pretend for a good reason, i think i can handle a bit.

I try very hard not to wear my feelings on my face, wolfie, but I am afraid I usually don't succeed. I was told often by my aunt when I was growing up that I could never get away with telling a lie because my face would give me away every time. My feelings are easily hurt and it's hard for me to disguise that also.

My face always disclose my feeling, I find it is hard to hide my feeling. When I am happy, everyone can know that from my face. When I am angry, everyone can know that. When I am dislike something, it is hard for me to be friendly to him or her. Some people tell me not show everything in my face, which is not mature for an adult. I have tried to change present situatioon because direct experission in my face really brings much trouble and embarrassment to my life. Now when I have a bad feeling, I learn to shift my focus to something else. After a while, I feel it does work because worse apperance in face quickly disappears.

Hi,there! Well,my face used to give me away immediately when I came across sth special.I usually don't hide my feelings and emotions.I expressed my happinesses and sadnesses a lot by my face when I was young. Some of my friends really like that cause we're the same type.We speak straightly with each other and we have very open talk between each other:) But my mum always tell me that I shouldn't express my anger or sad emtion over the face cause there will be some people who don't like that. I'm improving myself and still learn to do that:) Thanks for your discussion and have a nice day^_^

It's hard to say.A poker face? I don't know! When I was heart-broken,I looked sad.But the moment I saw a friend ,I would smile and be happy at once.Dose this called a poker face?I don't think so:) By the way, I could not hide my emotions before my friends.
