This just makes me sad, Paul!

A new project has me putting some time into studying facial expressions and body language, and one thing I have learned is that fiddling with your fingers or holding your own hand is an unconscious act of self-consolation: people put in situations that makes them feel stressed or anxious will instinctively hold their own hands to make themselves feel better, especially if they really need to have someone else hold their hand, and no one will. This solemn-looking little boy was consoling himself. Because nobody was holding his hand. And he grew up to write a song called "I Want to Hold Your Hand." And even while at "the toppermost of the poppermost," he still needed the consolation of a hand in his, and turned to himself.

"There he goes again, picking at his hands, like a little kid, the way he does when he's anxious or tired..." I'm also learning that a blank-faced expression absolutely IS "learned behavior" (as I'd suspected), particularly if someone has been put under stress by persons looking to get a particular reaction. The person learns to "show nothing" so as to give no satisfaction.

Good on you, Paul, for not giving your tormentors what they wanted. But I am also sad, too! Because I suspect that when you were blank-facing it, or sitting on your hands, or fiddling with your fingers, it's because inside you felt like this:

Still blank-facing it, but less successfully. And with a swollen cheek and a jaw that looked like it hurt. Poor lad. I would love to know what was up with all that!.

Recently updated work!

Taking place in the 1950s, on a cold night in Liverpool England, a 15 year old Paul McCartney has to walk through a haunted cemetery, to earn the admiration of his friends. Especially the leader of the pack, John Lennon!

Please share, drop a comment, and give a kudos if you think I've earned it.

Young Paul McCartney...

[waveofahand]

"Look at me, you behind the camera..."

"Yes, you, there! You're havin' a look at me, are you? Well, let me use my face on you, then. Let me use my eyes on you. Let me get you looking at my mouth and my plummy lips. Oh, yes, you can't look away, can you? And by the way, I'll be having you tonight." Anyone who thinks Paul McCartney wasn't COMPLETELY aware of how he could use his looks to devastating effect if he wanted to tease (or if he wanted to seduce) need just look at this gif. The beautiful little bastard knew EXACTLY what he was doing, knew just how to tilt his head and lower his eyes, knew exactly how to lick his lips to get you looking and then (while you were looking) to blast you with a small knowing smile and a little spark from the eyes at the same time. Like throwing a scud missile of seduction at you. And you'd be slain and yes, he'd have you. Even if you were not at all used to just being with someone just because they decided you were on the menu for that night. And yes, he knew how to do it from an early age! Slut!
