Do you look at a person directly in their eyes when u speak to them?

Question

I have a problm lookin at people in their eyes (especially when lookin at girls) Pls tell me where to look at a person when u look at them/talk to them?

Answer 1

For me this is very important when I,m speaking with people. You could see so much in a person's eyes if they are lying to you. you are doing the right thing from my point of view.

Answer 2

Sometimes. When I was a child i would not look people in the eyes at all. I used to get in a lot of trouble for it because it was "disrespecting my elders". Do not look below the face. I sometimes look at a persons mouth or nose so that i am still looking at their face. This works best when you are at least 30 inches between you and the person you are talking to.

Answer 3

I wholly agree with Nefertiri E.



Is it because you're nervous that you can't look girls in the eye?

Or is it more just because you don't know how to react to people in general?



Either way, until you figure out the cause, just look at the bridge of their nose or eyes brows or something like Nefertiri E said.







In the matter of body language, if someone looks at you, it usually means they're interested in talking to you. If they're constantly looking away, it usually means they'd rather be somewhere else, are waiting for someone or are nervous themselves =P



Hope it helps.

Answer 4

Usually. I've seen girls give a flirtatious look while looking into someone's eyes, but I don't.

The main reason I look into people's eyes is b/c I believe that eyes are the window to the soul:



Matthew 21-23:



21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.



22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!



Hope it helps(:

Answer 5

This really depends on culture, but in Western cultures, you should look someone in the eyes when speaking to them. Don't stare fixedly, but for the most psrt, look them in the eye. to do otherwise suggests that you are not listening to them, or are looking around for someone "better" to talk to. If looking in the eye makes you nervous, focus on eyebrows or foreheads. People can't tell the difference, unless you are standing very very close to them.

Answer 6

With my friends and family yeah. But with people I don't really know I find it hard to look at their eyes because it seems awkward to me. I try to look in their eyes but my eyes tend to dart away in shyness. But don't stare at the ground when you're talking to them. Try looking at their ears if you are uncomfortable.

Answer 7

If you don't want to look in their eyes, look in between their eyes (the upper nose bridge), or their lower forehead :D

Answer 8

yes i look in their eyes it shows respect and that your okay with yourself!



if you don't look into someones eyes you might sent the wrong message

Answer 9

well- its hard to look them in the eyes- if their eyes do hide malicious intent...

but- if they are looking at your eyes then I guess you can look into theirs as well,

if they are not then you can avoid them (thats my rule)

Answer 10
