" - It's believed that the eyes are capable of revealing our deepest desires and our real emotions. - And the purpose of this video is to show you exactly how to read the eyes. Decoding the eyes.
- Our eyes are the main way from which we receive information about our environment. - We tend to use our eyes to block the passage of unpleasant information and to allow incoming pleasant information. "You shall not pass.
" "This happens in many different ways. Pupillary dilation and constriction. - Several studies have shown that our pupils constrict when we look at something we don't like and that they dilate when we look at something we like.
"They constrict when we look at a war scene or at a person we don't like. - And they dilate when we look at a tasty food or at someone we like. Amount of eye contact.
- Studies have also shown that the amount of eye contact changes depending on our emotions. - Someone shy, insecure or who's uncomfortable with the situation, tends to constantly look away. - A person who's curious or interested in you, tends to hold eye contact for longer than usual.
Squinting - Squinting indicates that the person wants to block out what's in front of her. "She may have saw or heard something she didn't like. - She may disagree with what was said.
- In general, squinting reveals a negative thought or emotion about something or someone. Eye blocking. - Another way to block unpleasant information is known as eye blocking.
- This happens when a person covers her eyes with her hand or when she touches her eyes with her hand. "Peek-a-boo! " - This can be observed when someone hears something she didn't like or when someone gets bad news.
- If a person delays opening her eyes or if she compresses her eyelids, she's trying to block out something undesirable. It's as if she can't stand tolerate the presence of the other person. "What an unbearable person.
" Flashbulb eyes. - If a person open her eyes wide, it means that she has positive emotions about something or someone. This is associated with a surprise or with good feelings.

. - In short, people avoid unpleasant information when their pupils constrict, when they avoid looking at something or someone, when they squint, when they blink for a long time or when they close their eyes. - And they allow pleasant information when their pupils dilate, when they look at something for a long time or when their eyes open wide.
Types of gazing. - Now I'll tell you about the 3 basic types of gazing. The social gaze.
