why rolling your eyes is so instinctual when you are annoyed or frustrated

651 views

My 17 month old daughter has started rolling her eyes during moments of frustration or when she is annoyed with me or my husband. There’s no way, at 17 months old, that that is intentional, I imagine it’s more instinctual. And, tbh, when I find myself suppressing an eye roll of my own, it feels like I’m fighting a natural urge. Maybe I’m just dramatic?? Lol

It isn’t..? It’s learned behavior. I only see it happen in American TV and only young people here in western Europe emulate it. My parents for example or most people from southern Europe don’t do this.
