I’ve always heard how important it is to make eye contact with an individual you’re trying to communicate with, but I wanted to know if there is any additional “unwritten rules” about this?

Can you make people uncomfortable if you try to maintain eye contact too long or too little?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance for any help on this topic.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Andrew Harmon<o:p></o:p></p></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Job-Discussions mailing list</span><br><span>Job-Discussions@nfbnet.org</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/job-discussions_nfbnet.org</span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for Job-Discussions:</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/job-discussions_nfbnet.org/rosekm%40earthlink.net</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
