It is about Eye Contact

We are soft-wired to feel other people’s emotions just by looking at them. Without any words, we feel their joy, fear or anger. Responsible for this connection are brain cells called mirror neurons.

But with many social interactions taking part online, where have real connections gone?

Have you ever realized how much one moment of locking eyes can mean?

Try looking a stranger in the eye or even someone you know pretty well.

Eyes are one of the best attributes of human expression because they can be direct and elusive, as well as show a million different emotions in just one look.

Even one glance can tell you a lot about a person’s character, especially if a smile or smirk is thrown in.

The ability to be able to look someone in the eyes that you’re attracted to with ease and without feeling awkward is unique.

A few seconds maybe before breaking the hold. It makes you feel seen really seen as a person versus being idolized for your body assets.

The eyes are the widow to the soul so looking into someone's eyes is setting your soul on fire.

Makes you feel special more than anyone else to be able to captivate someone’s gaze for that long and to have them all to yourself for those few minutes away from the world is magic.

People have fallen in love it has been scientifically proven by losing themselves in each others eyes. Just by gazing into each others eyes for 2 minutes.

 If you want to make someone fall in love with you, one of the first things you should do is to look into their eyes. If a person allows you to look into their eyes without looking away that means they want you to know them.

They feel comfortable with you and that is how some people also establish trust. No man or woman is going to allow themselves to be naked and vulnerable by letting just anyone look into their eyes. It is an experience like no other. The saying the room stops, frozen in time for that split minute or minutes is exactly how it is.

Could be hundreds of people in that room but that moment your eyes meet it’s just the two of you.

You can’t get enough of each others gaze so you yearn for more of their gaze. Like a drug.

It’s so intense if the world could sense your energies at that moment the whole room would be lit on fire. Best feeling more than an orgasm. Expressing it into words is not sufficient enough to describe that moment.

Thank you …One thing that shy people have as a disadvantage is that they have trouble holding eye contact. It’s well known that in Western countries like the United States, giving those in power eye contact is revered.

 However, in Eastern countries, eye contact to those in power is viewed as rude and a sign of disrespect. It’s important to recognize these differences, since eye contact can mean many different things depending on the setting and the people locking eyes.

If you like someone in any way, shape, or form, why not look them in the eye when you’re talking to them?

Looking down or away from them can come off as aloof, especially if the person is telling you about something important or trying to get your attention.

In order to put the most effort into showing interest, look the person in the eye and smile.

This can be taken different ways depending on what you and the other person are intending – interest could mean familial, friendship, a respectful authoritarian interest, love interest, or even just a strong bond that you and the other person have.

Eye contact can say so much, yet leave so much to assumptions and analyzing body language.

A locking of eyes can be all you need to have some understand something you mean. If you’re trying to get a point across or just want some reassurance, eye contact can be an important asset in communicating your thoughts.

Eye contact is one of the most intimate forms of communication because sight has the ability to pick up so much that people convey. It’s possible to guess what someone’s thinking based on their eyes and how they look at you.

Eye contact, or lack thereof, is invaluable for learning to trust someone and having that same respect given in return.

Want to add word or two?

Looking into the eyes of others may make you feel as if you are staring at them, but you are not doing any such thing.

You are simultaneously being assertive and empathetic, because you are asserting your opinion and then watching their faces to understand their response.

Focusing your eyes helps you concentrate. When your eyes wander, they take in random, extraneous images that are sent to your brain, slowing it down.

Your comment ….? 

When you fail to make eye contact with your listeners, you look less authoritative, less believable, and less confident.

When you don't look people in the eye, they are less likely to look at you. And when they stop looking at you, they start thinking about something other than what you're saying, and when that happens, they stop listening.

When you look someone in the eye, he or she is more likely to look at you, more likely to listen to you, and more likely to buy you and your message.

When you look a person in the eye, you communicate confidence and belief in your point of view. One of the most powerful means of communicating confidence and conviction is sustained, focused eye contact.

Sustained, focused eye contact makes you feel more confident and act more assertively. It may feel weird at first, but when you practice, it becomes a habit that gives you power.

When your listeners see your eyes scanning their faces, they feel invited to engage with you. They feel encouraged to signal to you how they feel about what you're saying--with nods, frowns, or skeptical raisings of their eyebrows.

As a result, your listeners are transformed from passive receivers to active participants. Your monologue takes the form of a dialogue, albeit one in which you speak words while they speak with gestures and facial expressions. Your speech or presentation is suddenly a conversation.

However, to have a successful dialogue with your audience, you must respond to what your listeners are signaling.

Finally, when you look someone in the eye for three to five seconds, you will naturally slow down your speech, which will make you sound more presidential. In fact, you will find that you are able to pause, which is one practice that has helped President Obama become a powerful and effective orator.
