Post Reply New Topic

I was looking for some videos to watch with my Aspie son and ran into this video on eye contact.

This guy also has lots of other good videos on how to dress, etc...Even my 11yr almost 12yr old tween enjoyed the one about Young Guys and dressing...

I hope this helps some of the guys around here.

nothing new was told there, not for me at least.
i did chuckle a bit in the beginning of the video though; when he said "did you notice how i didn't look at the camer?"; erm no, i didn't...

Thanks for posting, it's quite interesting and I like his demonstration of of unanimated staring. I've been trying to avoid that recently, and a guy at work recently told me that it is possible to smile too much - so I guess it's pretty hard to judge this stuff.

I wrote a piece yesterday on how to read eye movement....it may be of some help.

A friend of mine w/ ADD was asking about body language and got to talking about eye contact. He has a developed a habit of staring to show that he is listening. its rather intense and comes across as being too dominant. He did not realize this. He also has a hard time listening so when he is really concentrating on what is being said he looks down, this usually happens when is talking to the wife. She obviously gets upset w/ him as that indicates he is obviously not paying attention but in fact he is. So how YOU relate w/ your eyes is just as important as trying to understand the cues used by others w/ Eye movements. anyways...read my post in the above link and tell me what you think.
