President-Elect Donald Trump and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney had dinner in Manhattan on Tuesday. The image above was captured during that occasion and has since become a bit viral.
Many have misidentified Mitt Romney's emotions in this moment.
From a nonverbal perspective, Mr. Romney's facial expression is highly characteristic for an amalgam of both Anxiety (which most people are able to discern) and Regret (which most people cannot detect).
What are the features on the Romney's face which indicate Regret? Which demonstrate Anxiety?
