Description: Eye squinting happens when the eyelids are compressed together serving to constrict the eyes. It can sometimes occur in just a fraction of a second before disappearing.

In One Sentence: Narrowing the eyes is due to physical or emotional pain.

How To Use it: When you do not like what is being said or seen, simply narrow your eyes. This tells others that you do not like what you are seeing or hearing. You may perform this eye language in brief within just fractions of a seconds. While people may not consciously perceive the signal, it will likely still register subconsciously. If the person for whom the cue is intended, notices, they may revisit their proposal and add additional incentives to ease your negative judgment.

Context: General.

Verbal Translation: “What I’m seeing is causing me emotional or physical pain and to prevent all that negativity from coming into my body I’m going to squint and block to resist.”

Variant: See Anger Facial Expression, Hand To Eye Gesture.

Cue In Action: a) A person will wince when reading objectionable portions of a contract. b) She winced when the student missed the correct note on the piano. It caused her visceral pain.

Meaning and/or Motivation: An eye blocking form of body language designed to prohibit distasteful images or even thoughts from being received at full view. Narrowing eyes indicates contempt, distaste and anger. A person will not only squint from seeing objectionable sights, but also negative thoughts or sounds.

Wincing falls into the category of microexpressions since it can happen in only fractions of a second before disappearing, yet it remains full of meaning.

no, see... like... shoulder-grab getting to "fuck off" more and being less "accountable" is only of benefit to you.

unless you're doing revolutionary work or feeding/housing the hungry/unhoused, why would you want to work 8 straight? why would you want to be away from home? why in the heck would you want be more productive?

your difficulty focusing when you're at home is your body telling you to purge your brainworms

congrats, falling asleep without the help is the hardest part to get over (for me), keep it up! there's some difficulty humps to get over, it doesn't necessarily feel like a straight difficulty-downtrend... but it is only gonna get better! good work!

so cheesy as ît sounds: just do it for yourself. this life is an awful slog when we live it for the man, monetizin every skill. if you wanna learn something interesting, just... learn something interesting. leave whether it's gonna feed you or is the equation. may sound naivé... but if as you say, that calculation is impossible? maybe it's not.

just think of what skillsets youd like completed future you to have. then work towards that person, flipping off the haters along your path
