In scenario if a friend try to avoid eye contact with you on the street,what is the reason and meaning?Is that mean he or she reject to show his or her friendliness to you ?

Answer 1

Eye contact is not a reliable way of understanding what someone else is thinking, or if they are telling the truth. The eyes are not often the window to the soul, even though we want them to be. What we are often reading are the muscles *around* the eyes.

Eye contact has different meaning in different cultures. Also, each individual uses eye contact differently. Some people attempt to bore holes through you, while other people hardly make eye contact at all.

I *do* notice when someone has unusual ways of looking at me / other people. I think the ones who stare or use "penetrating" gazes are either weird or attempting to intimidate. Those who use "soft" gazes may be truly gentle souls, or may simply be well-practiced in putting people at ease. Those who avoid eye contact may be introverts, not necessarily shy but simply wanting to maintain a private sense of themselves. And the sociopathic "dead" eyes that crime writers like to describe -- the flat gaze of a shark -- well, that's not always easy to spot, and only occurs when such a person is actually revealing themselves, which isn't all that often. But I've seen it, and it *is* chilling.

I wish you could have a guaranteed way of knowing if someone is lying or trying to avoid you. But there are no sure answers. Just do your best to be honest and to communicate well. If someone avoids you for being that way, then it's their loss.

C'mon... YOU don't look at other men? You have blinders on? Give it a break. Stop looking for little signs of this and that... you are working yourself into a bad habit called nagging and hen-pecking! Speak with him for once and for all and leave it alone. If you continue this way, you're going to be seeing things that don't exist! YOU do the same so grow up and learn to live with it or get out of the marriage so you don't go through life making other men miserable for doing the same thing YOU DO. You dress and wear tight blouses or tight pants to show off, to be looked at and desired... by those not married to you! You enjoy the attention but you're bothered that your man is also looked at and he enjoys the SAME thing YOU enjoy? Be content with the knowledge that he's YOUR man and that you have something desirable, a man that other women desire but YOU have! Instead of counting your blessings you're looking for faults? Grow up and stop with the b/s contrl games (power games... do you also use p u s s y-power on him?). You are trying to do to him what possessive men do to women, the same thing! You notice the minutest details of anything and everything wrong he does... do you also do the same with what YOU do wrong? Grow up. Stop the nonsense; otherwise, leave him and find an ugly man no woman wants to look at!

That is psychology. A friend who not not look straight on the eyes when you are talking together is somewhat telling things which are not true and hiding something ab out your question. He refused to be psychologize but if you are good in psychologizing a friend or acquaintance you can guess what he wants to tell you in truth.

though there is no 100% surefire way of knowing, but aversion of the eyes normally means that the person is afraid to face you due to guilt or something similar. a flick of the eye to a corner might mean that the person is lying. alternatively, other forms of body language can also express different things. folding your arms for example, might relate to the other person that you are "closed" / dont like him very much / protecting yourself.

Look for other signs too. Fidgety, looking over your shoulder, shifting from one foot to another. And not all people can look into your eyes while talking, does not mean that they are hiding something or lying.
