Though a painting's frame is separate from the painting, it influences how viewers see it. Any human interaction can be framed as, for example, an urgent complaint, a compliment, something serious and safety or life-threatening, or as something positive, pleasant, friendly, funny, inquisitive, etc. How a person presents himself to others by means of 1) his body's shape (athletic, fat, or skinny), 2) how he is dressed, 3) his hair, 4) what he says and the tonality with which he says each thing, 5) how confident or insecure or fearful or loving he is, and other details frame the situation he created, which whether the person knows it or not are modified by the five things above, and affect and can even determine it's outcome. To fool someone or for other purposes, individuals frame situations as something other than what they are. Some individuals can modify or even flip a "situation framing", to their advantage.
