#47: Observation of psychologists show that with personal contacts the interlocutors are not able to look at each other constantly, but only no more than 60% of the total time. However, the time of eye contact can go beyond these limits in two cases: in lovers and in aggressive people. Therefore, if an unfamiliar person looks at you for a long time and intently, most often this indicates hidden aggression. :))
# 48: Duration of eye contact depends on the distance between the interlocutors. The greater the distance, the more prolonged eye contact is possible between them. So communication will be more effective, if the partners are sitting on opposite sides of the table - in this case, the increase in the distance between them will be compensated by the increase in the duration of eye contact.
# 49: Women look longer at those who like them, and men look at those who like them. Observations show that women are more likely than men to use a direct gaze, and therefore they are less likely to perceive a gaze as a threat.

# 51: Pupil constriction and dilation NOT subject to consciousness, so their reaction very clearly shows the partner's interest in you. The expansion of the pupils shows an increase in interest in you, their narrowing will tell about hostility.

In bright sunlight, the pupils of a person are narrow, in a dark room, the pupils dilate.
# 52: Theory of Neuro-Linguistic Programming claims that by the movement of the eyes of the interlocutor, you can find out exactly what images are now in the mind of a person and what he is doing at the moment: he is inventing or remembering.
# 53: If the interlocutor looks up to the left or just up, most likely he is immersed in visual memories. Such a look can be observed in a person who answers the question "Who is depicted on a five-dollar bill?".
# 54: Looking up to the right gives visual construction. The man is trying to imagine what he has never seen. For example, try imagining your close friend wearing an astronaut suit.
# 55: Looking left to the side speaks of auditory memories. For example, consider the sounds of the piano. If the gaze is directed to the right to the side, this is a sign of auditory construction. For example, imagine how aliens talk.
# 56: Looking down to the left is an internal conversation with yourself. The ability to easily and imperceptibly observe the eyes of the interlocutor, analyzing him, will provide you with invaluable help, both in daily conversations and in the case of an important business conversation.

And what interesting facts about psychology do you know? Write in the comments, we will be glad to hear something new.

In the life of every person there are difficulties of a psychological nature, with which he can not cope on his own. In these moments, you need to allow yourself to ask for help. The study of special psychological literature is one of the simplest forms of helping oneself in a difficult life situation.

The voice that we use to speak to our child now will remain with him forever. It is in this voice that he will talk to himself, becoming an adult. All reproaches, moralizing, our dissatisfaction with him will be taken as the basis of his own attitude towards himself.

Whether he will be able to support himself, cheer him up, whether he will have peremptory faith in his own strength, how kind he will be to himself and whether he will be able to be kind to himself at all depends on what we say to him now.

How can parents properly communicate with their children?

Mom's voice, mother's attitude, mother's requirements and expectations - this is the parental "I", which will play the role of "conscience" all his life and become an "inner critic" for an adult. Whether this critic will be a supporter or an inquisitor is up to us.

Parental words and the idea of mom and dad about himself is an absolute truth for a child. As if God himself told him once and for all what he is and what he is.

Someone will always be better than you. This is the painful truth. We are used to it. She is so dear to us and so painful. We are constantly comparing ourselves to others. We build ratings for ourselves and others and compare our coolness and pumping. And we, of course, suffer from this, although we may not notice it. There is always someone better than you! Comparing ourselves to others is often infecting us with those closest to us. Remember your childhood? Probably many in childhood heard such phrases: “Masha studies better than you”, “Peter is more obedient than you”, “Vasya is such a good fellow, he plays better than you” ... and so on. We just get used to living in this eternal race of comparisons.

A woman with low self-esteem is like a flower that has not been watered for a long time. A sad picture: drooping leaves, bent stem, dull petals. It is unlikely that someone will want to show such a flower to friends and put it on the windowsill in order to admire it more often. Drooping flowers evoke sadness and longing, out of sight of them. But as soon as you take a watering can and generously water the earth, the flower will immediately begin to bloom and smell fragrant! And the same thing happens with female self-esteem: it is also important to water it with bright positive energy.
