What psychological secrets can be read through eyes

Women may have secrets in their hearts when they stare at the other side all the time. Looking right at the other side indicates that you want to draw the other one’s attention to your words in a conversation. So whether eyes are bright or not also can reflect what’s going on the inside. And that’s why eyes are called “windows of soul”.

Visual sensation nearly takes over 70% of all human sensations.

In Greek Mythology, there are three sister monsters. People become stones at every sight of one of them who’s named Medusa. These myths speak volumes for the power of eyes.

Take tasting food as an example: we won’t just rely on gustation but pay attention to the color, smell and the way the food are arranged and contained. These are all phenomena that mental feelings are influenced by visual sensation. Suppose we are eating in a dim room, we will still feel unsafe, not in a mood of enjoying and lose appetite even though we know they are delicacies. On the contrary, a clean and bright dining room with soft lighting and delicate tableware will help people generate good mood for eating. Thus it can be seen that eyes are capable enough to dominate other four organs as the head of them. Certainly, eyes are the most sensitive organ among five organs and visual sensation nearly takes over 70% of human sensations.

As to the functions of eyes, Mencius elaborated it in the time of Warring States. He said, ‘Of all the parts of a man's body there is none more excellent than the pupil of the eye. The pupil cannot be used to hide a man's wickedness. If within the breast all be correct, the pupil is bright. If within the breast all be not correct, the pupil is dull.’ It suggests that eyes can be a standard to judge if a person is good or evil.

A person who has been stared too long will feel he’s been seen through or his privacy is infringed.

Whether the other side looks at you, that is, whether there is eye contact suggests that whether the other side feels good about or interests in you. If the other side doesn’t look at you at all, he’s not much into you or feel close to you. On the contrary, when we walk along the street and find a stranger looks at us, we’re sure to be anxious even afraid.

Strangers will shift their eyes right away if there is accidental eye contact. That is because a person who has been stared too long will feel he’s been seen through or his privacy is infringed. It’s commonplace that we turn our backs to others when we are waiting for a bus or lining up in front of the ticket office to buy a theatre ticket. It’s not only for the sake of moving forward, but also for the purpose of avoiding eye contact with strangers. But there are also people face to face and these are friends, couples, relatives and lovers. They permit their privacy to be infringed by each other to some extent. So they will have eye contact sometimes for the convenience of communicating and understanding.

Thus, we can draw the conclusion: when people known each other have eye contact express the will to have mental communication.

But if the situation happens on women, it means quite different. Because when women are reluctant to expose their inner feelings, they will gaze at the other side most of the time.Aix Rayne and other psychologists have ever done an experiment relevant to eye contact. The result suggests that if test takers are told to conceal their real feelings beforehand, the male will reduce the time of eye contact while the female tend to increase the time of eye contact. Men spend 66.8% time to look at the other side in a conversation when they are not dictated to hide their real feelings. And the time looking at the other side reduce to 60.8% when they get indications to hold back real feelings. As for women, the percentage can increase so far as to 69 when they get indications. Therefore, you may suppose there’s something hiding in her heart when a woman stares at you too long in republic.

He who shifts his eyes firstly when first meet each other is initiative in character.

An architecture named James Shannon has ever painted an abstract painting of a pair of eyes with frowned eyebrows. It was inlaid a huge transparent board and hung on before several stores. His original intention was to reduce stealing. And stealing really reduced when the painting was hung. Though they are not real eyes, they still threatened those thieves with guilty conscience. Thieves try their best to avoid the sight of the eyes and the feeling that they are monitored. So no one dares to enter the store or steal things even if they get in the store. 

The way eyesight moves also reflects one’s mentality. It’s universally thought that people who look at the other side when they are talking are honest, but it doesn’t have to be fixation without any shifts.

On the contrary, what if eyes are shifted? Generally speaking, he who shifts his eyes firstly when first meet each other is initiative in character. Besides, in a conversation, whether he who wants to dominate the conversation can really get advantageous place can be determined at the first 30 seconds. When there is eye contact, the one who shifts his eyes firstly is the winner. On the contrary, people may have a bee in their minds on account of the other side shifting eyes. They may think the other side dislike them and want to get rid of them or the other side didn’t get along well with them. As a result, they mind the other side’s eyes a lot subconsciously so that they are contained by the other side. So for those challenging guys who avoid eye contact with you at first meet, you should deal with them much more carefully. Same as shifting eyes, shifting eyes after being paid attention to is another case. Generally, we behave like this when we feel guilty and conceal something.

Casting an eye over the opposite sex and closing eyes suggests that I trust you and I’m not afraid.

If there’s a young and beautiful lady getting on a train or a bus, nearly all people will be attracted except young males who usually turn to the other side. Though they are also very interested in her, they will still control themselves under the influence of strong constraint. If the interest increases, they will glance at her. That is because they want to see clearly but don’t want her to know their thoughts.

During the process of associating with others, people’s mentalities can be seen through by observing the direction of their sights. Just casting a look over the other side and shifting eyes intentionally suggests the people have strong interests in the other side if the other side is opposite sex most of the case.

In addition, behavioral scientist Chelyabinsk got the conclusion by study that casting an eye over the opposite sex and closing eyes suggests that I trust you and I’m not afraid. So it represents respect and trust when they see opposite sex and close eyes, then look over and over again rather than shift eyes. There can be possibility of dating especially when women look at men in this way.

Besides, introverts can hardly stare at the other side. People have different mentalities when sights are moved to different positions. So there’s a lot to learn about sights, we need to observe carefully.
