    It’s not unintelligent. People are extremely adept at reading facial expressions and microexpressions. Years of evolution / survival instinct development have made us extremely skillful at knowing a lot about a person based on their face / eyes. Our lives depended on it, you see.

    Your survival instincts (which are smart) are telling you she’s an untrustworthy, toxic individual that you probably shouldn’t keep around in your community, and in this case they’re right. Everything else she says and does backs up your instincts too, so this isn’t just a one-off thing.

      It’s extremely bad and dangerous that so many people believe this.

      You can’t tell from the way someone looks whether they are trustworthy or not or whether they are telling a lie or not.
