[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 214270, member: 3907"] Let me tell you a little secret about eye contact... Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY who knows me (husband included) would tell you that I make great eye contact and have no issues with it. But I don't really. I rarely make eye contact at all. When I was 5 and doing my first dance recital, my teacher told me that if I was too scared to look at the audience, I could look at the clock on the wall right behind them. They would all think I was looking at them, but I was looking just a bit above them. From there, I learned that if I look at the spot just above people's eyes, right between their eyebrows, then it is a very convincing show of making eye contact without actually having to do it. Toto, I wonder if N has learned that trick as well. Eye contact isn't as good a predictor as everyone thinks it is, because there are some awfully good ways of faking it, such as: - Look at the spot between the eyebrows, mentioned above. - Look at the tips of someone's eyelashes, either upper or lower. You can shift the gaze if you don't want to seem like you're staring - Look at the upper cheekbones. [/QUOTE]
