Some of this forum's smilies confuse me. When I scroll over them, the description doesn't match the expression I see.
doesn't look like eye-rolling to me, it looks like shame or sheepishness.
looks like how someone would feel about something she was about to roll her eyes at; a mixture of slight irritation and slight confusion. A look that says "that's dumb." It's supposed to be "confused."
looks like strong sadness or hopelessness, not embarrassment.

I did not grow up around people with light skin, so I have little reason to automatically associate blushing with embarrassment. I associate unusual redness with injury.
I started this thread over a year ago, and I think I saw that face as sad because of the shape of the eyes and mouth. I don't think I considered the color.
