The mouth is associated with most body language signals

because its main purpose is for speech. It is also used to
consume food, feed infants, display love by means of kissing,
etc.
The mouth also plays a major role in facial expressions due to
its flexibility. It has more moveable parts than any
other sensory organ of the body. Therefore it is used
for body language "SIGNALING" since it is indepen-
dent in movement unlike the ears and the nose.

 “SMILING”

Smiling is a big part of facial body language. As a general

rule, natural smiles are symmetrical and produce creases
around the eyes and mouth, whereas fake smiles (for
whatever reason) tend to be mouth-only gestures. Basically, a
sincere smile can make any human interaction better and
render tough situations tolerable.

Have you ever met a person who always has a
smile on their face, no matter the difficulties
they incur? How does that smile make you feel?

 “SMILING”
Smiles are interesting and powerful facial expressions. They can
bring someone down from the edge of the roof or transform our
dullest days into one of our brightest moments. Their impact is
exponentially more than their cost and if we are brave enough to
crack a smile, they can change the lives of others in unimaginable
ways.

and with no teeth exposed or showing. A person
demonstrating this "TIGHT LIPPED" smile appears to have a
secret that they do not wish to share with others because they
may not trust them for some unknown reason or
they just simply dislike them. This is thought to
be a signal of reservation or rejection.

to avert attack (usually verbal), and they then seek
sympathy or kind treatment from others. Beware of
the person whose motive is aimed at getting attention
only!
