2/ Contempt is a clear and caustic tell that a person views him/herself as superior to another individual group — that they think of that person/group as beneath them.

3/ Contempt (along with Disgust) were the two most common emotional displays Nazi captors displayed toward their prisoners in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and the many other concentration camps during WWII.

4/ If someone is going to harm you, there's a profoundly high likelihood they are feeling contempt.

5/ Hopefully, your boss or your partner never projects contempt to you. Contempt is one of the most destructive, if not, THEE most destructive of all emotions.

6/ The expression of contempt by one's partner/boss is highly predictive of the end of the relationship/employment (or worse). While this is not the only facial expression indicative of contempt, you should learn to spot subtle manifestations of it.
