The eyes are one of the strongest ways a person expresses their inner world. Sometimes a look can say much more than words. However, not looking or avoiding eye contact does not always mean weakness, lack of confidence, or a deficiency. Sometimes it can be a conscious and careful choice, so that we do not send the wrong message to the person in front of us. A person should be aware of the environment they are in and observe the person they are facing. Sometimes the right action is to step away from that environment for a moment, analyze the situation, and move into a space where they feel more suitable and balanced. Because true communication is not only about looking; it is about expressing yourself at the right time, in the right place and in the right way. Speaking sharing, and showing who you are are also parts of this awareness. I ask myself: Is this something I personally recognize, or is it a natural awareness that every human being carries? Maybe it is both. Because a person does not only see with their eyes; they see through their experiences, emotions, and consciousness.
