A person’s eyes can convey a host of information and context that words alone could never do.
Eye contact is an important way to ensure a connection with your partner and to provide an emotional context to your conversations. Eye contact is also important to listening and should be used on both sides of any interaction.
Too much or too little eye contact, well that depends. The nature of the conversation should dictate the amount of eye contact. Intimate conversations require very involved long periods of eye contact punctuated by shorts breaks to dissolve tension. Casual conversations require eye contact wherein the person speaking should not hold eye contact throughout and should provide occasional breaks when explaining ideas. This is to allow the listener to maintain consistent eye contact so as to appear attentive.
Eye contact can also signify respect, disdain, superiority, and a host of other emotions. The timing or context dictates how eye contact is taken. For instance nobility used to avoid eye contact with peasants as they felt it was beneath them. Eye contact signified that the person they were talking to was an equal which of course was not how they felt. Eye contact can also be used to spark interest in a potential romantic partner.
The overall most important reason why eye contact is important in communicating is that it provides a level of depth and emotion that simply cannot be comfortably communicated with words. Lack of eye contact signifies deception, fear, guilt, and other unsavory associations. It is only appropriate that eye contact be used in a positive manner as not using at all can be more detrimental than using it incorrectly.
