Eye to Eye
‘‘The eyes of men converse as
much as their tongues, with the advantage that the ocular dialect needs no
dictionary, but is understood the world over.''
R.W.Emerson
Your windows to the world can be used to convey the following!
·
Raised
eyebrows and wide open eyes express astonishment
·
Eye contact while talking reflects how confident you are
and while listening, shows your interest in what the other person has to say.
·
Shy individuals avoid eye contact or at least try to
minimize it. Studies reveal that such people could be the most honest, sincere
and dedicated individuals around.
·
Gaze aversion is employed when a person is uncomfortable or
guilty about a question being asked. But eye contact increases dramatically in a
defensive, aggressive or hostile situation.
·
When eyebrows are usually down, particularly at the inner
end they produce a frown 
·
Eye contact may express adoration between lovers or be
symbolic of a lull before the storm, goading two hostile individuals to a fight.
·
Squinting the eyes slightly expresses the wish to foresee
an answer to a problem.
·
Slight blinking of the eyes shows involvement in some sort
of meditation.
