<p>I just want to know how important is eye contact and what does it mean if two people’s eyes meet all the time?</p>
<p>either they like you very much or they loathe you immensly</p>
<p>It probably means you should stop staring at the person…</p>
<p>Actually, I agree with boomer</p>
<p>well…making eye contact to a person while talking to them is a form of respect</p>
<p>yeah, but not constant unfaltering eye contact</p>
<p>I would find it very unnerving to have someone constantly staring into my eyes while we were talking</p>
<p>I agree it is uncomfortable to have somebody staring into your eyes whenever you talk to them. However, in job interviews they recommend that you stare into the interviewers eyes because they will do the same to you to see how nervous you are and to see if you will become uncomfortable.</p>
<p>if you find it hard to stare into someone’s eyes steadily for a long time, then vary it by looking at their nose, lips, nosebridge and so forth rather than fidgeting and staring at the wall, as though you’re under somebody else’s control. personally, i use firm eye contact to my advantage beacuse it makes me feel like i’m in control of the situation. the more intimidated you are, the more you should make eye contact. also during a formal interview, your head should not move and your legs should be slightly crossed with your hands either on your lap or making hand gestures relevant to what you’re trying to say. don’t sneeze during the interview especially if you are to shake hands in the end and project a normal facial expression (eyebrows down, eyeballs in focus and not enlarged). </p>
<p>also, people in the streets who think they’re all that purposefully try to intimidate people. well, the best way to handle such a situation is to recognize that they’re conceited, keep your chin up, stare straight ahead, and think of some human rights issue like poverty in india. you have to recognize their presence by glancing at them with sincere concern (as in i can’t believe people like this exist in this world). sip your coffee and keep walking but your pace should be steady. this is why reading international news is important…you realize that people halfway across the world are starving to death while these people are concerned only about how their pimple would detract from their looks.</p>
<p>to me, eye contact with that “oops i didn’t mean to look” type glance is not appealing. when i look at someone i find attractive (which is like once in a month), i examine their demeanor and how well they know themselves. are they fidgety because someone is looking at them? are they wearing some scarf just to look good or is it because of the weather (if it’s both, then fine)? are they wearing a leather jacket just to impress? if so, not only is leather not attractive, wearing it as clothing is disgusting. do they look like they’re worried about some pimple on their face or are they too busy guessing what life story each person who rides the bus brings?</p>
<p>finally, if your classmate stares at you, it could possibly mean that he or she likes you or you just have something on your face (which won’t be the case if they stare for more than just a day). i don’t approve of staring because it is cheap. but if the person keeps staring, stare back and try to read their thoughts. who cares if you’re sending a wrong signal? you have to let them know that you are not intimidated by their staring and that they should stop. in all honesty, i think i can manipulate people’s thoughts just by being near them. i just think “what are you trying to do,” and somehow, my brainwaves reach their brain and whatever they do after that reflects an appropriate reaction to what was on my mind.</p>
<p>but what if you do not know the person you are making the eye contacts with?</p>
<p>yea i type that based on the premise that you do not know the person trying to make eye contact with you</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>weird</p>
<p>oh make that 3 arrows meaning the poster above the poster above the poster above me</p>
<p>love is in the air!</p>
<p>…that or you have a lazy eye, and the other person is taking great delight in watching your curiosity</p>
<p>Well, during class i look around the room a lot. It seems as if i am the only one doing that sometimes. But then i make eye contact with a few people who are doing the same thing</p>
<p>If you can give more detail to your eye-related dilemma, i’ll try to ‘see’ what’s going on and give my take on it :)</p>
<p>I have been confused by a similar situation before. Last year in my english class, our seating arrangement was in a semi circular fashion, and I sat in the corner and there was a cute girl seating right infront of me. During class discussions, I spaced out sometimes, and kinda stared at her, and she stared back at me too but then she looked away after a moment…what does this mean? Did she like me or wanted me to stop? I have been friends with the girl but haven’t really talked to her this year as I barely see her.</p>
<p>In a one-on-one conversation, esp. if you kinda know the person and you want to appear attentive, look them in the eye. Don’t stare, by any means, but have a pleasant expression on your face, and nod and make hand gestures to show that you’re not just staring. I personally prefer it when people look me in the eye.</p>
<p>boomer – I have that same problem, but it’s while walking in the hallways between class… so, can anyone help us out here???</p>
<p>damn, that person had WAY too much time on their hands to write four paragraphs on the subject.</p>
<p>LOVE AT FIRST SITE hahahhahhaha</p>
<p>bump…</p>
