How to Learn to Look Your Interlocutor in the Eyes: A Curious Trick
It is a well-known fact that if a person looks you in the eyes during a conversation, it means that he is sincerely interested in the content of the conversation and in you personally.
And if he looks away, avoids eye contact, then this already raises suspicions. But how can you not end up in such a situation yourself?
It's no secret that not everyone can look their interlocutor in the eye without a shadow of embarrassment.
It is not necessary that all those who lack this quality are hypocrites and villains.
Some people feel embarrassed if their interlocutor catches them looking at themselves, while for others it is impudence. That is, we can talk about the difference in upbringing.
But when circumstances require it, you need to be able to overcome yourself and doing this is not as difficult as it seems.
Psychological trick
If you find yourself thinking that you need to interest your interlocutor in yourself, but you don’t dare look him straight in the eyes, start studying the color of his eyes.
It would not be very polite if you started looking at the other person's nose or ears.
But by studying his eye color, you won't have to break eye contact and feel awkward doing so.
This simple trick will allow you to act naturally regardless of your level of acquaintance.
For reference
Eye contact is looking "eye to eye" and is an important part of non-verbal communication in humans. It is determined by duration and frequency, but varies in different societies, cultures and traditions.
