When looking into someone's eyes, you see the exterior structure. You see the color, the white, the pupil, eyelashes, and the shaded skin around it. Sometimes people will have beliefs of the eyes where its considered looking into someone's soul or seeing into their mind. Cultures, religious beliefs all talk about it, and then there is an actual scientific aspect where scientists call it a dream window. If you look into a persons eyes, you can see visual representations of a persons thoughts or imaginations.
I try to pay attention all the time, and notice things others don't. Today I noticed. People's eyes and what they tell about a person. The color of the eyes, it tells possible ethnicity, vision impairment, amount of sleep and well being of the skin, eye condition (if irritated, inflamed, or relaxed), possible severe medical condition, and most importantly it shows a great deal of people's emotion and how they feel but only at the current moment. And then there are often cases that people notice that their eyes lead there motion and the are eye gestures that are noticeable.
With the ethnicity you can tell by their eye color but it only simply narrows it down a little. If they are blue you have a possible chance of having a European descendant, brown eyes are shown all over the world, Gray eyes are mainly found in the Middle East, and green is common again among Europeans mainly closer to the north.
By looking at the eyes you can tell if someone has a vision impairment. By seeing the light dimming color/white color of the iris it shows that someone may have a vision impairment, if there's a thick large pupil or black around the iris a type of blindness could be there. And you can tell the amount of sleep and well being of skin, by looking at the skin around the eyes by having bags, redness of the eye indicates irritation from them being dry from sleep. Along with the irritation and inflamed idea it could be from rubbing their own eyes from outside sources to be able to expel it.
Nearly done, a person could have a medical problem shown through their eyes. A common virus everyone knows about is pink eye. it is really highly infectious and spreads from any form of physical contact. There is a semi-commonly known fact that when the liver fails the white part of your eyes turn yellow, but there is also more to it. The yellowing can also be caused by in a newborn infant, newborn jaundice, which is relatively common, but in children and adults if the eyes turn yellow it is possible of a liver disease, or there is obstruction to the gallbladder or the pancreas. Also in severe cases blood can come out of eyes and can mean you have a long list of things like but not limited to:
- Subconjuctival Hemorrage
- Hyphema
- Cancer in the eye
- Blunt trauma
- Penetrating Trauma
- Iritis
In my favorite part of examination of people themselves through there eyes, though this can't be used by itself most of the time because it is only one piece to a larger mosaic and the face and the face is even a mosaic of the body. The eyes are noticeably one of the most expressive parts of the body as a single piece. Though if removal of the idea of eyebrows the eyes could be pretty difficult to read, but I will include them along with skin around the eyes. As a little side note most nearly everything before this was not the most reliable thing, but in this, this is a science where most people of science use this as the reason for being able to see people's thoughts through the eyes.
When looking into the eyes you can see how a person feels about you and others through the muscles surrounding the eye, eyes gestures and how people use them to work. I will be writing about this in specific later in another blog entry because it is so large it could fill a book and has before. Though I must say that in order to learn this difficult concept you will have to overlay all previous knowledge you though you had because of misconceptions like:
- When you as a person a question where you feel suspicious of them. You will look for that small gesture to see if they are lying and a lot of people will quickly look to the eyes for two major what people say are "give away's".
- After asking the question and the person breaks visual contact to look down and slightly to the side people will instantly smirk or frown at it because they think they saw them lie, but this is not true. This action is the person looking back in their own memory to find specifics on the memory or the memory itself. People had wrongly assumed this and made it a misconception because respect flows from looking into one another's eyes in our specific culture and if it was broken it would be considered a sign of mistrust and unfortunately it spread into nearly everyone's mind as a misconception.
- Another one is simply through the conversation of the questions and answers that they never look at you in the eyes or at all. It may not be them keeping a secret it could be them feeling numbers of emotions because of you asking the questions. They could feel un-trusted themselves which makes people turn a cheek, they could feel assaulted and a passive person will show their face to the floor, there are many other cases, yes it is a possible one but it is most definitely not the only one.
I personally love this idea of paying attention to things other people don't notice and putting pieces together to learn things about people just by looking at them. With the eyes there are so many things. Wrinkles that could mean they frequently smile, or cry. A flick of the eyelid could show shock. It is amazing and heart pounding to know and put into practice.
I greatly admire the scientists that have discovered a literal science to it all. The ones that broke down the face, made deductions of people and understand how they work to understand an individual person. They are the brilliance I hope can take a hold of the twenty first century in the new science they have built and are studying.
I sadly cannot source any of the information I know from any specific location because of the build up of things that I have read from multiple places from months to years ago. I do have one name in mind I can always give credit to in the understanding of the face and his name is, Paul Ekman.
Paul Ekman I find to be the most interesting boring person I can think of. Someone who sits in a slow understanding life, and the interesting part is the understanding. This is my own personal study that I take interest in and love talking and writing about.
