I’ll never understand eye contact like wtf are you doing

A lot of non verbal communication happens through the eyes and surrounding muscles, it’s useful to understand people’s state of mind when they speak to also understand what they’re saying non verbally.

i’ve read that 90% of social communication is non-verbal. It’s awkward because you know you are being studied and not just the content of your words.

If it can reassure you, it’s not an active thing, our brain just sees signs and does the interpretation of how the person feels all by itself, only people who really studied non verbal language can push it further and start to analyse little things like pupils becoming larger even when lighting doesn’t change just because the person is interested in what you’re saying or people playing with their hair more than usual when attracted by the other person…

I had a communication class in university and the teacher was a psychologist specialized in non verbal communication, it was super interesting the few times she talked about it!
