The Face of Sadness

Sadness is the complete polar opposite of happiness. It is characterized by feeling of loss, helplessness, sorrow, and rage. It also can make people outspoken, less energetic and prone to emotional outbursts. While sadness can be felt all on it's own, it is often accompanied by other emotions as well.

In a sadness facial expression, the upper eyelids and the outer edges of the eyebrows will droop. The person experiencing sadness will also appear to have little focus in their eyes, and the corners of the lips will be slightly pulled down. Even when somebody is sad, they may pretend to be happy, but the face gives it all away.
