EYE CONTACT
Every one tells eye contact plays a pretty key role in our communication. so here are the few tips which we can follow while communicating with the people.
The old saying that “eyes are a reflection of your inner self” holds true in most cases.

Before learning the tips, its better to see the advantages

1.eye contact makes you come across as more engaged ,friendly and confident
2. It provides you with a lot of non-verbal information about what the other person is thinking and feeling
3.


 Techniques:
1. before having a conversation try to relax as much as possible: take a deep breath
2. try to focus on one eye if you can't focus on two eyes at a time and try to make back and forth between two eyes.
3.Find a nearby spot to fix your gaze: Looking at the bridge of the nose, an eyebrow, or just below the eyes will give the illusion of eye contact, without the intimidation of making actual eye contact. The other person won't be able to tell the difference, and you'll be able to focus on more important listening skills to be a good conversationalist .
4.Break your gaze to nod, or make other gestures while listening. You need to break your gaze every now and then, and it helps to be making another gesture when you do, rather than just looking away because you feel uncomfortable. It's good to break eye contact when you're laughing, or to nod and smile. This looks natural and comfortable, as well as it will give you a break.
5.
Try to keep your eyes focused while you talk as well as listen. It's one thing to look while you're listening, but it's much more difficult to keep eye contact while you're also trying to think of things to say. Don't be afraid if you have to break your gaze occasionally, but try to keep your face and eyes forward and up as you're talking.
  • Looking up when you're talking is sometimes thought to suggest that you're lying, while looking down is sometimes thought to signify confusion on your part. For this reason, it's usually best to look straight ahead, even if you're feeling uncomfortable and can't keep your eyes making contact. Look at the other person's ear, or chin, or anywhere but up or down
6.Practice on the television. One of the most readily available ways of practicing your eye-contact is to do it when you're alone, watching television. Focus on making eye contact with the characters on the screen and practicing the same skills to transfer them to your real-life conversations.
  • Obviously eye-contact with faces on television will feel very different than making eye contact with real people. The point of the exercise is to practice the skill, not to approximate the feeling.
7Practice other good listening skills. During the conversation, if you focus completely on what that person is saying, you can worry less about making eye contact correctly. Nodding, repeating important bits of information, using open body language, and other active listening skills are just as important to a conversation, if not more so, than good eye contact. To listen actively, it's important that you:
  • Sit forward in your chair
  • Nod along
  • Listen closely and repeat important information
  • Process what's being said
  • Don't just wait for your turn to speak
  • Respond accurately to what is said

Smile with your eyes. Keep your eyebrows relaxed, or your eye contact can look suspicious or intimidating, even if you're doing a good job remembering it. Try to keep your eyes open as much as possible, avoiding a squint, which can communicate that you dislike what the other person is saying, or a furrowed brow, which can communicate anger.
9Make eye contact when you want to prove a point. If you're having an argument or other heated discussion, it can be tempting to want to avert your eyes. This communicates a lack of confidence, or a deferral to the person you're having the conversation with, which is something you hope to avoid. If you're in any kind of disagreement, locking eyes is an assertive gesture that helps you to communicate the confidence that what you say is true.[3]

  • If someone is trying to intimidate you, they want you to look away. Frustrate them by refusing. Stare right back.
