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 Reviewed by Inferius on . how important is eye contact? 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 Rating: 5
