how important is eye contact?

[Inferius]

Incredibly important.
It is the baring of the soul, the extremest form of body language (besides sex), and sometimes I can even read people's minds when I stare into their eyes.
Pisses me off when I ask someone a question and they stare away as they answer. It's dismissive.

Inferius, you gotta notice which way they are looking at :jointsmile:

10 I think its rude to stare away when talking to someone personally. But they say that 80 percent of what you say is dictated through eye contact and physical gestures

The Truth is in the eyes 'cuz the eyes don't lie.


and for your information smokeblunts3, yes, there IS a way to detect a lie within the eyes.

Shit i never even said you can't detect if someone is lying by looking at there eyes so what are you talking about? I know you can tell, my sister takes a psychology(sp?) and she tried to do an experiment on me watching my eyes and telling me to lie about something. She said it had to do something with the pupils changing size just slightly then going back to how they were.

Once when i was questioned by some detectives they said they knew i was lying because i was looking away. Even tho i don't think i was (was in there car light right infront of my eyes so i had to blink and look around alot to keep my eyes from burning.) Told my sister about how they said this she said that that way is not a valid way to tell if someone is lying or not. That is what i was trying to say in that last post. Or atleast i think so:thumbsup:

i was thinking about a conversation i was having with my friend the other day and i dont remember what it was but i was telling her something that really meant something to me but she didn't believe me because i was kind of nervous and avoided looking in her in the eye.

lets say you're telling someone something REALLY serious.. like it affect the both of you and you don't make eye contact, do you think the person will take you seriously?


on a scale of 1 to 10. how important is eye contact to you?

u should make it every 5 seconds its realli important

It's almost impossible for me to look someone in the eyes while I talk because of my anxiety. Unless I am somehow intoxicated. But it's probably a 10.

Eyes are amazing things.
