In interpersonal communication, staring and dodging are two common behaviors. Some people like to look others in the eye and express their true feelings, while others prefer to avoid looking at each other and maintain a sense of distance. So, which behavior is more in line with our preferences? Let’s discuss it below.
1. Eye contact
Looking at each other means that two people communicate directly by looking into each other's eyes. This behavior can send strong emotional signals such as love, respect, trust, etc. At the same time, looking at each other can also increase the effectiveness of communication because it can help us better understand the other person's intentions and emotional state.
2. Dodge
Dodge means to avoid looking directly into the eyes of others when communicating with others. This behavior may be viewed as a sign of lack of confidence or dishonesty. However, in some cases, avoidance can also be interpreted as respecting others' privacy or maintaining a sense of distance.
3. People who like to make eye contact
People who like to make eye contact are usually more confident, frank and direct. They believe that by expressing their thoughts and emotions directly, they are better able to connect with others. At the same time, looking at each other can also allow them to better understand other people's thoughts and emotional states.
4. People who like to dodge
People who like to dodge are usually introverted, cautious and conservative. They may feel that direct eye contact makes them uncomfortable or reveals too much information. Therefore, they prefer to express their thoughts and emotions through other means.
Whether it is staring or dodging, it has its applicability in different situations. We should choose appropriate behavior based on the specific situation and respect the choices of others. Ultimately, building good relationships is a collaborative effort, not just a choice of behavior.
