Much information can be clearly conveyed, purely through our eyes, so the expression “eyes also talk” is often heard.
Can you think of any experience that further proves this? On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger, but not make eye contact. If he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.
It is the same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry about other’s staring at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex. If a man continues to glance at a woman for more than 10 seconds, his intentions are obvious. That is, he wishes to make her understand that he is admiring her.
However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, In order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. As for the listener, he will, to a certain degree, look continuously at the speaker to tell him that he is attentive.
If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to control you, you will feel uneasy. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.
In fact, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.
Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and specific situation.
