Eye Contact

Brief Summary: Eye Contact is important on establishing bonds and communication without saying any words because it has good psychological effects for those who interpret an eye contact correctly and not wrongly.

Why do most often we commit eye contact to someone or entice to exchange eye contact to someone who is making eye contact to us? Of course, there are reasons for it, like flirtation to someone, establishing control and authority to someone, and other reasons why someone do an eye contact to you and you too likewise.

But what is baffling is we could establish communication and send messages through our eyes to someone without uttering or saying any word or making sign language, which is really mysterious. However, some experts to this matter especially the psychologist have something to say about it or have some explanations to cast out the dark clouds and clear our perception about it. According to them it is just a matter or communication and various people interprets differently about it which is really true. However, according to my own assessment, establishing an eye contact to someone is like looking to an object and the mind interprets what the eyes see. Hence, if someone look at you in the eye, you do also look intently or make an eye contact also either out of curiosity (if your mind could not grasp the message of the one’s eye contact to you) or in response to the message one is sending you through eye contact (if your mind understood and grasp the message of one’s eye contact act to you) It is just that simple, however, that is only my opinion.

However, in the other side, there are people who avoid eye contact or avoiding eye contact to anyone except only to their spouses, babies or children or close to them. It is understandable why they don’t want to establish any eye contact to a complete stranger – that is for safety’s sake, because of the many perils lingering around us nowadays. It is difficult to trust your eyes to other’s eyes lest one will hypnotize you through the eye and lost your consciousness to what is currently happening around you. Yes, but I am not saying that making eye contact to stranger is bad but it depends to the intent of the stranger why this stranger is making an eye contact with you. You would not know that this stranger’s eye contact with you is for your betterment, that is if this stranger is looking intently to you because either you have unknowingly drop your bag or you caught some dirt or stain to your bottom garment which you did not notice, thus this stranger is sending you a message about it without saying any words at all to you. You just have to reply and interpret it correctly what this stranger is telling to you through eye contact, else you will miss the stranger’s good eye contact to you. This is just one of the examples of the importance of eye contact which one could benefit of both from your love ones and strangers also. However, if you cannot establish any eye contact to both, your lack of eye contact could spring out from your anxious subconscious mind which you could consult to an expert if you want to establish an eye contact.
