Where to focus when making eye contact!

[Aaron Coles]

Hey all,

When it comes to making eye contact, should you focus on the person's iris? Or focus on the pupil? I'm surprised at how much trouble I am having finding an answer for this. I feel like it's a legitimate question. Any input is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Pupil? Idk tbh. I can't watch people in their eyes while I'm talking to them....

You don't need to focus on any part of the eye of the person that you are talking to. The iris and pupil are so close together and at least you are looking someone in the eye when you talk to them.

Very good question. I read a book I can't remember the author but it was "the power of eye contact". I believe you can download it for free but maybe it has some answers?
