I literally had to look up this up because I noticed and was aware that my interactions start by looking at the left eye. Baffled!

[@michellenason9501]

This is so interesting ! I was just watching season 13 of The Bachelorette & Alex mentioned something like this to Rachel . He said left eye goes to emotions & right eye goes to logical thinking. He said he loved how she made eye contact from left eye to left eye with him & that it means she’s being very open with him . That’s what brought me here .

[@starstuff5958]

it's how we connect on a soul level..left eye to left eye only way I communicate. It's amazing, I always walk away feeling something special from the person. Do this, it's wonderful.

[@iaaaiaaa5169]

In marital arts I see this has an application as well: the "Kiai" shout that masters of the arts use, they say that it empowers and it can also be used as a weapon. If it is used appropriately and abruptly, it may end up triggering a left brain response that can disrupt the right brain thinking which is constellated in wholistic use of putting together as one what an individual in the arts has been making available to muscle memory movement. This would amount to a disruption in flow technique. Theres no wonder why people hate it when im doing Jiu Jitsu and I talk to intermittently them during rolls.. Maybe thats one reason, but I see a wide variety of applications to this mental technique here and how it has a place in the marital arts. Awesome.

[@eyeexaggerate7687]

I started midlife at around 30, not too long after that I realized one day that I *only look at people in their left eye. 20 years later it is the same, I actually have to make a conscious effort to look at the right eye. My handle isn’t a play on “I” exaggerate, it references an enhanced sense of seeing.

[@MichaelBrown_528]

Sometimes I close my right eye as a natural instinct when I’m passionately explaining something , had a few drinks , or even feel uncomfortable around a person

[@RitikRai-kc4oc]

There is always an emphasis on eye contact but no one ever tells that we are not telepathic.. We need to use our eyes in coordination to micro facial expressions and subtle head movements with a balanced and suitable body posture.

[@plujllap2200]

The left eye also works because it reminds people of the mother connection. Often when a person is a baby the mother holds the baby in her left hand and does everything else with her right hand. Therefore she is using the left eye to look at the baby. When looking at a person's left eye, that motherly connection is brought out.

[@Christophtov]

Thank you for this video! I have been trying to look at both eyes of a person (unless they only have one eye) at the same time and have felt like I’m going the opposite of cross eyed-distance eyed? and it would always end up being clearly distracting. Thank you

[@jessicajohnson4484]

I always close my left eye for some reason.

[@Itsmeiwaleed]

But i am confused, if we are seeing left eye on a person in front of us, that is his right eye. So is it left eye through our perception or look into real left eye of that person?

[@lordaiesan5050]

Have you seen that look on some one eyes, that tells.. I love you so much?

[@lordaiesan5050]

Always remember this, there is more than what just meets the eyes or seems to.. are you just watching or looking? , the eyes could truly and honestly telling you if you want to.. And one day, ... As you see that sparking eyes, that tells you'" I am the one that you have been waiting and looking for...

[@lordaiesan5050]

[@Blacksquareable]

Is that their left eye from your side or their actual left eye which would be on your right side. What if they are left handed?

[@mamolefemolefe7412]

What I'm about to tell you is my personal experience and opinion: It honestly differs. If you're left-handed, your brain's analytics are on the right, therefore making the left side responsible for the right eye (hope this makes sense). When I talk to people and subconsciously realise I'm looking at their right eye instead of their left, I ask if they're left or right-handed. The majority said left. Therefore, I feel like eye communication differs by person. I hope this somehow answers you :)

[@Blacksquareable]

Yes, it does and that's interesting. Thanks-

[@thelolmaster1997]

their actual left eye, because it is connected to the right side of the brain, the creative fun side!

[@briansmith9439]

The right optic nerve has both crossed and uncrossed nerve fibers as does the left optic nerve. Your eyes are innervated by both hemispheres of the brain. He also gets the physiology wrong. The right does not "tell" the left what to see; the right receives sensory input from the right and left eye and vice-versa. Very basic anatomy and to get that wrong right off the bat raises the logical question if he gets basic anatomy and physiology wrong, what else does he get wrong?

I will venture to say this is based on reasoning from a variety of sources. Here is my thought process on something similar, yet different: We know H. Pylori can cause GERD symptoms. We know that for many people who suffer from GERD symptoms, there is inflammation of tissue near the top of the stomach and the esophagus meet. So what causes that inflammation? ALLERGIES.
