Alright, so I have this Nonverbal Communication course I'm mired in right now and I am writing a paper dealing with eye behaviours . My topic is nonverbal communication through the eyes of fighters. In studying eye behaviors and the functions of such, I started realizing that I do a lot of eye analysis without thinking about it. So here are a few questions regarding your perceptions of a persons' eye behaviors in communication.
1) Can you tell when someone is lying to you by their eyes?
2) Do you automatically distrust a person who doesn't look you in the eye?
3) Do you automatically trust someone who does?
4) Does your impression of a person change depending on the amount of eye contact, blinking, face-gaze, etc?
5) Are the eyes the window to the soul?
6) Are my eyes as mesmorizing to you as they are to everyone else I meet?
7) What would you do if I headbutted your mom and/or your dog just because she opened a window and/or chewed my slippers?
Okay, the eyes have it.

1) No. And I think that people who think that they can "always" tell by the eyes do a lot of accusing people falsely. There are many reasons why people may look away or blink that have nothing to do with lying.
2)No. I don't jump to conclusions. I don't have a lot of respect for the opinions of people that do.
3)Heck no. There are plenty of people that can look you in the eye and lie.
4)My impression might change but I probably couldn't (or wouldn't) put my finger on it.
5) They can be a window. Certainly not the only one. And maybe not the cleanest or clearest.
6)Probably.
7) Give you a taste of your own medicine. Then I would regret it and wished I had used a frying pan instead.
