So today, let's talk about eye contact and how important it is. Have you ever been in a situation where you are talking to someone, and the person was not looking directly into your eyes? And maybe you thought that the person didn't care or the person didn't listen? how uncomfortable was that? So today, I would like to share with you my best advice on how to maintain create eye contact. So first, I would like to say that the eyes are the window of the sound.
Why is that? Because you are able to convey emotions through your eyes, but you're also able to feel the emotion and feel the person just by looking into the eyes. I know it can be weird, but you can just look into someone and feel if they're having a great day or a bad day and feel if they're happy or sad, just by looking into someone's eyes. So it's a really great To, to create a powerful connection with someone. So that's why I encourage you to maintain eye contact. Because by maintaining eye contact, you can create the connection easily, or I would say more easily.
You can convey emotions, you can convey passion, you can just show the other person that you care. So it's really important that you maintain eye contact. So how do you maintain eye contact? How do you maintain eye contact all the time? What if the person is not comfortable? What if you are shy?
Let me answer all these questions. So if you are shy, and you don't really know how to maintain eye contact, I really encourage you to look at the eyebrows instead of the eyes. When my girlfriend told me that, I said, No, no way. That's not possible. I would notice the difference. And then she said, let's see.
So once she looked directly to my eyes, and once she only looked at my arrows and was not able to notice the difference And then I say, Wow, that's really powerful. So I would say, if you are shy and you're not really comfortable, and you don't really feel at ease when you look into someone's eyes, just start by looking at the eyebrows. So before continuing this video, I just wanted to say that maintaining eye contact is a great thing for most cultures, but there are certain cultures, and it's not really appropriate to maintain eye contact. So if you are watching this video and you see that it's not appropriate to look someone in the eyes, just close this video and continue the course. And if it's appropriate in your culture, just go on. So practice looking people in the eyes.
If you're not comfortable, look at the eyebrows and try that with your friend. Try that with your partner tonight. The person won't notice the difference. Now if you at ease, don't look at the eyebrows is just for I would say your backup plan now should you Look 100% 10% 50% How should you look the other person, I would like to give you the simple answer. And it's also the more effective when you are talking to someone, just look most of the time into the other person's eyes. And naturally, you will look around because you will be accessing different parts of your brain.
So when I'm talking to you, right now, I'm just looking most of the time directly to your eyes. And some of the time I would just look away because I will be accessing different parts, different emotions, different parts of my brain to give you the information, and it's something that is natural. So if I look on the right, on the left, on the right, right, left, right, and I talked to you most of the time by looking at you at the camera, that's something that is natural. Now, don't look with a weird look. Don't look with an inside look like that. The creepy look are the ones that person won't be really comfortable, just have a relaxed look.
And when you talk, have a relaxed look on your face, you can even go in front of a mirror to see how you look. And then you just talk most of the time you look into the other person's eyes. And some of the time, it's it happens that you just look away. But you see, most of the time you're looking directly, you're not talking most of the time by looking away. Okay? Now what if the person is a little bit uncomfortable, so if the person is uncomfortable, don't look down.
What you should do is that you should break eye contact a little bit. But I encourage you to look on the right on the left, because if you look down, it shows that the other person has more authority over you. And in most situations, you don't want to show that you want to just show that hey, you are no matter human being. So what you would do is that you would just break eye contact. So this Say that I'm talking to you, I don't have a creepy look on my face. And I see that you are a little bit uncomfortable because my eye contact is a little bit too powerful.
So, what I will do, I will talk to you and then slightly I will just break eye contact and continue talking to you. I will talk to you break a little bit icontact and then continue talking to you that way the person will be comfortable and another key here, make the other person feel comfortable. If you see that your eye contact is too strong and the person is not at ease. Just break it on the right or the left. Now what happens when the person is still key to you. When the person is still key to you.
You just give their you give them your full attention. It means that you will be looking directly directly into the eyes because it shows that you care and that you are listening and also for you. It will be easier to remember what I said. So when someone is talking to you, you just leave them Listen, and fully listen. And if you see that the person is a little bit uncomfortable again, which is break it on the right on the left, but even if you are really at ease with yourself, you can be looking 100% of the time into the person's eyes, and the person will really feel comfortable. So how can you really apply yourself?
How I did it is that I called a friend. And we met at a park. And I told my friend, Hey, you know what? I told you because I would like to practice eye contact with you. And at first he thought it was really weird. And then I explained why I wanted to do that.
So what happened is that I started explaining, I started trying things, and I asked him, How did you feel? And he said, Oh, I didn't feel comfortable at that moment. And that's how I was better at maintaining eye contact. So my suggestion is called a friend. You can go to With bark, you can go where you want, or even home. Try that tonight with your with your partner.
If you have one, or call a friend, go out and practice icontact
