Do you constantly feel like the people around you are angry or upset? Do you wonder why you are surrounded by grumpy facial expressions all day?
If this sounds familiar then the good news is people probably aren't actually mad at you, but there could be a psychological reason why you feel they are.
A new study, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, has found a link between the ability to accurately recognise emotions and growing up with parents who fight a lot.
Maltreatment and neglect has previously been seen to inhibit a child's ability to interpret facial expressions.
New research, headed by developmental psychologist Alice Schermerhorn at the University of Vermont, builds on these findings to see if a "less severe form of adversity" — like constantly arguing parents — has similar implications.
