The eyes speak. Find out from the eyes.
Well, is it possible to read someone’s thoughts
by gazing into their eyes? Are you facing problems to guess what is in your
peers mind by listening to his/ her eyes? An old proverb says, ‘eyes are the
mirror of the soul’, and they reveal what the heart conceals. Eyes can express
feelings, both of comfort and discomfort, what words may not be able to
deliver. Often what is not spoken loud is expressed exquisitely in the eyes.
Eyes speak a lot
May be you will be able to control you facial
expressions, but your pupils tell an entirely different story. Pupils are that
part of our eye body language that we practically have no control over. Have
you ever taken a notice that the pupil dilates when we keep interest in the
object we are looking at or person we are talking to? On the other end, pupils
shrink when you view something distasteful or you are repulsed. Well, this is
hard wired into us.
v Shifting eyes –
The story changes slightly when you pose a
question to someone directly without trying to access the person’s thought
patterns. Notice, if their eyes go up as they conjure up an answer, after
posing the question. People keep from looking at a person, maybe because they
are ashamed of being dishonest of trying to deceive them. But sometimes, people
who are lying engage in more eye contact, to see if you are buying their story.
v Crying
–
Among cultures all around the world, crying is
considered as a result of an extreme experience of emotion. Often it’s
associated with grief or sadness, but at times humor and extreme experience of
happiness can cause to cry. Well, forced crying, known as ‘crocodile tears’ is
to deceive others or gain sympathy.
v Blinking
–
Do we really get to catch someone lying in ‘the
blink of an eye’? Quite possibly. Apart
from our instinctive need to blink, our feeling and emotion towards an object
or person we are conversing with can subconsciously alter our blink rate. The
blink is more rapid when people feel uncomfortable or stressed. Infrequent
blinking indicates an intentional control of eye movements.
v Winking
–
Winking is considered to be a cheeky form of
flirting. We generally do it with people we are on good terms with or we know
very well.
v Right Brained or Left? –
The direction, in which a person is looking,
reveals a whole world of what they are feeling or thinking. Left or right
movements of the eye indicate whether a person is engaged in visual or symbolic
thinking. Looking to their right indicates more creative thoughts, while
looking to their left indicates that they are trying to remember something or
reminiscing.
v Eye blocking –
When you ask a friend for a favor, and they
agree but rub their eyes while responding, indicates that they are not
comfortable with your request. The eye blocking body language maneuver is
extremely accurate. Even children born blind also block their eyes when they
hear things they do not like. This behavior is undoubtedly hard wired, like
when we are troubled, struggling or frustrated with something emotionally. We
close our eyelids hard or remain closed or may flutter rapidly as an expression
of our sentiment.
v Narrowed eyes –
People narrow their eyes at you, when you
accuse someone of an act they did not do, or even if they find something
distasteful or disgusting. Narrowed eyes indicate anger, which is clearly a
negative response, so make sure you ask if you have misjudged that person or
said something wrong.
v Arching eyebrows –
We display gravity-defying behavior when we are
contented and happy. Arching your eyebrows when you see a person gives them a
sense you are really happy to see them. Approaching people with arched eyebrows
and a ‘hello, how you doing?’ conveys positive emotions.
v Wide open eyes –
Wide open eyes indicate number of different
things, which depends on what the rest of the face is doing. High eyebrows with
eyes wide open indicate fear, while on the other hand, raised eyebrows and
smile indicates interest and happiness. A short glance with arched eyebrows and
eyes wide open and then back to normal shows excitement and surprise.
v The Eyes Link to the Senses –
When someone looks directly into your eyes when
having a conversation, it indicated that they are paying attention and
interested. Prolonged eye contact can feel threatening, while breaking eye
contact can indicate that the person is uncomfortable, distracted or trying to
conceal their real feelings. People start to drop their eyelids, if they are
bored and they may half close their eyes, if they are uncomfortable with the
situation. So, keep your eyes wide open to impress, as it is a success key and
takes stamina.
Should have cashed in:
If only we knew earlier that the funny little
emoticons, you have been drawing since you were a kid would become a big
business today! Certainly you would have cashed in. There was no need for
somebody to tell you that eyebrows angled up meant sad, angled down meant angry
and arched was surprised. You knew all these instinctively that eyes have a lot
to say regarding what somebody is feeling and thinking, as this ability to read
a person’s intentions based on their eye movement develops at the age of four. Well,
eyes have more to say than the simple face images.
