Read More »Eye contact has undeniable power. Many studies show that eye contact can help build a stronger, deeper connection between partners. It strengthens relationships and increases intimacy. A study found that as we make eye contact, oxytocin (the “love hormone”) is released. There are several reasons why people have difficulty making or maintaining eye contact. People with social anxiety disorders often have low esteem and often have an extreme fear of being judged and struggle to make eye contact. Couples often avoid looking into each other’s eyes after a tiff. In many cases, people avoid eye contact with their partners when they are nervous about sharing bad news with them. There are different categories of eye contact. Intentional lack of eye contact can indicate a festering relationship problem that should be resolved at the earliest opportunity. Partners often unintentionally avoid eye contact when their mind is somewhere else. Both accidental and conscious glances can indicate attraction. Intense eye contact signals a strong bond and attraction. Lingering glances occur between couples during conversations and suggest that they really connect with each other. Eye contact leads to engagement. Looking into your partner’s eyes during conversations is a great way to make them feel heard, show them you care, and express your love. On the contrary, if you avoid eye contact during conversations, your partner may begin to feel ignored and may drift apart from you. Eye contact helps build intimacy in your relationship. When you look into your partner’s eyes and share their feelings and emotions, you connect with them on an emotional level. It’s essential for bonding and keeps the attraction alive over time. Sit across from your partner. Set a timer for an agreed-upon period of time and try to do nothing else but look into each other’s eyes. Try to feel what your partner is feeling. This exercise can help deepen your relationship and evoke a wide range of positive emotions. Make sure that you really look into your partner’s eyes while talking to them. Before striking up a conversation, remind yourself to make eye contact throughout. This way you won’t miss any important piece of information and can understand their feelings. Research suggests that the human brain lived for 15 seconds in the past, meaning it showed us images from 15 seconds in the past. Look at your partner every 20-30 seconds or you may miss their reaction when you say something and your brain may continue to rely on old visual information.

Too often #people flail in their disagreements because they either don't know or don't think about how they should engage effectively; they just blurt out whatever they think and argue. While everyone has the right and obligation to make sense of everything, basic rules for engagement should be followed. Those rules and how you should follow them depend on your relative believabilities. For example, it would not be effective for the person who knows less to tell the person who knows more how something should be done. It's important to get the balance between your assertiveness and your open-mindedness right, based on your relative levels of understanding of the subject. Think about whether the person you're disagreeing with is more or less believable than you. If you are less believable, you are more of a #student and should be more open-minded, primarily asking questions in order to understand the logic of the person who probably knows more. If you're more believable, your role is more of a #teacher, primarily conveying your understanding and answering questions. And if you are approximate #peers, you should have a thoughtful exchange as equals. When there is a disagreement about who is more believable, be reasonable and #work it through. In cases when you can't do this alone effectively, seek out the #help of an agreed-upon third party. In all cases, try to see things through the other person's eyes so that you can obtain understanding. All parties should remember that the purpose of debate is to get at truth, not to prove that someone is right or wrong, and that each party should be willing to change their mind based on the logic and evidence. #principleoftheday
