Making Eye Contact

Eye Contact is important.
Sometimes it can be scary. It can be
uncomfortable to have someone look
you in the eyes or to look into their eyes.
Here are some tips to make it easier.
1. Look people in the eye when you first meet.
When you first meet someone, look them in the eyes and
smile. You may wont to shake hands and say hello'.
2. Do NOT stare
Look at someone while they are talking, but do NOT
store. This makes people feel bad and sometimes angry.
If someone has stopped talking, do NOT stare for more
than 4 or 5 seconds.
3. Be a mirror
If you are making eye contact, try to mirror the person you
are talking to. This means that if they are happy, you
should try to look happy. lf they are sad, you should try to
look sad. This helps the person know you are listening.
4. Blinking
Do not blink too much or too little.
Just blink when your body says it is time.
