One of the greats said that “the eyes are the mirror of the soul” and turned out to be completely right. A person always tries to pay attention to how other people look at him. After all, with the help of a glance, you can find out about the thoughts of the interlocutor and understand the hints of a silent person. For some reason, this is rarely written about in the press and on the Internet, and studies on the interpretation of different views cannot be found anywhere. In this article I will try to reveal the essence of this issue as fully as possible.
What is the look?
Under the look of a person is meant a characteristic of the location of the eyes and some parts of the face located nearby. These include the forehead, skin, eyebrows, eyelids, and in some cases the nose and lips.
Are the eyes the mirror of the soul?
The look may be different, but each of its options has one thing in common - it is a reflection of the inner world of a person, his character and mood. For the most part, the type of look depends on the latter.
All positive or negative inner experiences of a person are expressed in her gaze. For this reason, if you need to give it a certain meaning, you should not try to do it with “technical” methods, it is better to concentrate on your inner mood and the desired expression of the eyes will arise by itself.
The interlocutor will not be able to consciously understand the whole essence of your look and explain its meaning for himself, but on a subconscious level, a person reads a certain message from your eyes and he will have a corresponding reaction to your emotional state projected through the look.
How to influence the interlocutor with a glance
From the foregoing, the conclusion follows: you can work out for yourself a certain scheme of psychological influence on the interlocutor with the help of a glance.
- Determine the goal you want to achieve during the conversation.
- Tune yourself in a certain way to cause the state that will be projected in your gaze.
- Look your interlocutor in the eye.
- As a result, you will see his response.
The subconscious of your counterpart will work instantly and he will only have to choose options for action on your emotional message.
Since the invention of the camera, photography has brought joy to many people and provided a view of the world from many different angles. Photographs have a strong impact on people, whether they are shocking shots or shots filled with kindness. However, some photos are so shocking that they are considered too scary or disgusting to be widely distributed. But thanks to social networks, we managed to collect the most mysterious, sinister and creepy photos on the Internet.
At first glance, this photo looks all right: a few divers enjoying snorkeling. But the diver in the background lies at the bottom separately from the rest. Few people realize that what is actually in the background is the corpse of a murder victim, thrown into the ocean a few days before the other two divers decided to dive in the area. The photo itself does not look scary, but only if you do not know what story is behind it.
Spiders are already disliked by many, but these trees in Pakistan cause real horror. In 2010, a terrible flood occurred in the country, many areas were flooded, including parts of Sindh province. The spiders, which could no longer hide on the ground, climbed the trees and stayed there. As a result, they made their nests in the leaves. In general, Sindh is not the place to go for people suffering from arachnophobia.
Many people know famous horror movie characters such as Jason or Michael Myers, but the most famous and terrible is Freddy Krueger. In this old photograph, which may already seem ominous, there are only three children looking at the camera. However, in the background you can see a man who is frozen in a strange pose and grins creepily. And he looks suspiciously like Freddy Krueger.
Imagine that you are walking through the city and suddenly come across an ad. A small piece of white paper with handwritten text stuck on with a strangely shaped piece of clay. The ad reads: “While you are reading this, a man is standing high above you in one of the windows and he is filming you. Then he will make a little doll out of you, plant the same ones with others and play strange games with them. When you finish reading the note, these words will probably stick in your mind. After all, you will never know if there was someone who will then play something terrible with your doll.
It was drawn by a little girl who wanted to tell that she had an imaginary friend. In the picture, the girl wrote: “This is Lisa. She is my friend. My mom and dad can't see her so they said she's an imaginary friend. Lisa is a good friend." However, looking at Lisa, one cannot say that she is such a pleasant friend: she has a bloodied mouth, hands, eyes and chest.
Little is known about this photo. The girl is looking at movies in a vending machine, her head hanging unnaturally back. Some believe that the security camera captured a demon-possessed girl. The true origin of the image, as well as the circumstances under which it was taken, have not been disclosed. One thing is clear: you can’t turn your head like that without serious injury.
In family photos, people usually laugh or smile. Unfortunately, sometimes the situation takes a dramatic turn in the opposite direction. For the family in this photo, everything changed in one second. At that moment, when the photographer pressed the shutter, the corpse, which had lain for some time under the ceiling, fell next to the family. It is not difficult to imagine how horrified these people were.
There are a lot of events that mark the beginning of something important in life, and a wedding is one of the main ones. However, as this photo shows, weddings don't always go as planned. While the happy couple were getting engaged in front of the house, behind them stood a group of strangely dressed people who looked like followers of some kind of cult. They have all turned and are watching the unsuspecting guests and newlyweds.
Among the vast collection of creepy items is a pair of gloves made from human skin. Ed Gin, who was famous for other terrible deeds, made them out of his victims. It's one thing to hear about maniacs, and another to see the fruits of their deeds. The most terrible thing is that the texture of the skin of the hands is visible on these gloves.
Surely there is nothing more terrible than realizing that you are about to die. This is exactly what was on the minds of many victims of Auschwitz. When they were brought into these cells, people thought it was for something else. They were actually gas chambers, and once someone was in there, there was no going back. The photograph shows fingernail scratches from victims who knew they would not get out and were already dying from the gas.
This is a photograph of a soldier shell-shocked on the battlefield. At first glance, this is just a man smiling from the top of his head, but the sparkle in his eyes and a wide smile are terrifying and repulsive. It looks like the soldier is really mad.
It is unlikely that any of the readers know what it means to face their death face to face. Unfortunately, some people don't have a choice. In this picture of a burning wind turbine, a couple of people can be seen standing on top, realizing the horror of their situation. Nothing could be done, the only way out was on fire, and both died.
One quick glance at this photo is enough to understand that something is wrong here. The girl seems to be afraid of the photographer and backs away from him in fear. The picture was taken by Robert Ben Rhodes, a serial killer who kidnapped the girl in the photo. This is 14-year-old Regina Kay Walters, she was also killed. But first, Robert cut her hair and made her wear heels and a black dress. He is believed to have tortured, raped and killed more than 50 women between 1989 and 1990, although only three murders have been confirmed.
Even at first glance, this photo is creepy. The child behind the stairs seems to be trying to fit into the frame, but to remain not too noticeable. The scariest thing about this famous shot is that it was taken in a famous haunted house in Amityville. At the time of shooting, there were no children in the house, and the photographer did not see anyone behind the stairs. There is an opinion that this photo is a fake, however, given the location and time of shooting, it can be assumed that this picture is an eternal mystery.
This horrifying image was taken by a hospital security camera moments before the patient's death. Something terrible and black is standing on the bed, bending over the patient. None of the hospital staff had seen anyone like him. It is believed that cameras can capture otherworldly phenomena that are not perceived by the human eye. When you see this, it's hard not to believe in the existence of spirits and demons around us.
A glance is more dangerous than a direct threat. Sometimes a sinister look is enough to make the enemy tremble and retreat. How to strike a person with an ominous look?
Have you, like many other people around the world, always wanted to give a person a mysterious, sinister look? Surely you have tried to do this more than once, but you have never succeeded. Or maybe you are too afraid of getting into an unpleasant situation if you do it wrong. Believe it or not, it's not that hard to hit someone with a nasty look after learning the techniques of possession.
1. Give the person a stern look
1.1 Consider the consequences and prepare for the response. The ominous look is meant to be noticed. He must embarrass the target and make him feel guilty. But, unfortunately, this can lead to confrontation. Your target may ask you what went wrong. It is unlikely that you want to continue a conversation with this person if the conversation has already begun to annoy you. Moreover, the target may take your ominous look as a challenge and try to start a fight.
Prepare an escape route in advance if you intend to avoid an unpleasant conversation. Don't look at someone angrily if you're in the same line with them or in class. It is better to hit him with a sinister look when you are already leaving the room. So the enemy will not be able to put you in a hopeless position.
Prepare a response in advance in case the person does want to talk to you. You can end the conversation with a simple “nothing”, but this will not give the interlocutor an answer to the question of how he nevertheless pissed you off.
1.2 Think about the target and its motive. As a rule, an ominous look is personal in nature. It has both psychological and physical effects, but doesn't work very well on random passers-by who have done nothing wrong to you. Therefore, you need to keep someone as a target in your imagination. If there is no one in mind, then you should look for a person who offended you in some way. Jealousy is one of the most common reasons for an angry look.
Your target may be a stranger who has annoyed you, for example, by ordering the last cupcake, singing too loudly and out of tune, or refusing to calm the too loud cry of his child.
Also, a person whom you have known for a long time can act as a target, because you disliked him for his external manifestations and his character. This can be a brother or even a teacher's pet who never makes mistakes.
1.3 Choose the right moment. It depends on who exactly was chosen as a target. Since the menacing look is designed specifically to be noticed, you need to wait for the moment when the target does an act that annoys you. For example:
If you don't know the person, wait until they annoy you by, say, taking the last cupcake you've been craving.
If you know your target, you can give her an evil look after every little thing. Suppose she sneezed or straightened her hair.
1.4 Concentrate on past and present grievances to gather all the energy. The ominous look is not just a look that needs to be directed in a certain way. Your target should feel the anger and hatred coming from you. Most likely, you have already thought about her transgression (such as annoying singing). If you want to demonstrate to a familiar person how unpleasant you are, then you should concentrate on past grievances in order to bring together all this negative energy:
Think of all the unceremonious things he has done in the past. Think about the injustice that happened: while he evaded the dress code, you were fined even for a shirt that slipped out from under your trousers when you bent down to get something from your backpack.
If you can't remember past hurts, think about topics that make you upset or angry, such as discrimination, politics, violence, and the like.
Focus on the event that really pissed you off. The more fresh this event is in your memory, the stronger your feelings will be.
1.5 Support the received energy and thoughts. Once you begin to manage negative emotions, learn to hold them. You need to keep this anger in your head while you pierce the person with your gaze.
If you're having a hard time conserving energy, imagine that your target had an accident, such as dropping her cupcake (icing side down) on the dirty floor.
1.6 Make a relaxed expression and remain calm. Quiet anger is more scary than out of control rage. Do not grumble angrily, snarl, or frown angrily. This does not scare, but only deprives the look of the necessary power.
In this case, it is necessary to squint or, on the contrary, open your eyes wide. It is desirable to extend the bend of the lips in a straight line, as if you have tried something bitter.
1.7 Look at the person until they see you and make eye contact. It may not happen quickly. But don't give up. Continue to stare at the person without looking away. Eventually, the person will "feel" someone else's eyes on them and turn around to look at you.
1.8 Make eye contact for a few seconds and then look away. The better you know this person, the longer you need to look at him. For example, if a stranger took the last cupcake you wanted to buy, a glance of half a second or a second will be enough. If you know him as the teacher's nerdy pet, then give him a second or two of your piercing gaze.
Keep in mind that the longer you watch, the more likely the person will contact you.
Then look away and relax your face so that it returns to its normal expression.
1.9 Return to the previous activity. Act like nothing happened. This emphasizes your sinister gaze even more and makes the person realize that he did something wrong. Also, the look will make it clear to the target that it should not approach you and even make attempts to fight back.
2. Improve your technique
2.1 Once you have started negative thoughts, continue to develop them. This will make the look even tighter.
2.2 You should not look straight ahead while being in the field of view of a person. If you are within sight of a person, try to stand so that he looks at your face from the side. So you can slowly turn your head and look at him, piercing with a creepy look.
2.3 Squint or wide open your eyes. By changing your normal gaze, you signal the target that he has done something wrong. This is the first step that will make the person feel uncomfortable.
2.4 Press your lips into a thin line. Do not bare your teeth and snarl. It's not scary at all. So you will look like a cartoon villain, which will only make the enemy laugh, and not intimidate him.
2.5 Lower your chin a little. This will allow you to look down at the target, and your face will take on an angular shape, which will make it look more formidable.
2.6 Slowly turn your head to look at the person. You will look even more sinister if he is already looking in your direction. So he will surely be able to feel your eyes on him, if he has not done so until now.
2.7 Try to make eye contact and hold it for a few seconds. In this case, it is necessary to look "through" the person. Try not to blink, as this will deprive the eyes of tension.
For a more contemptuous facial expression, you can slightly raise an eyebrow.
2.8 Leave like nothing happened. Break eye contact and move away as soon as the person notices your intimidating gaze. You can slowly look away and return to your previous activity if you have no way to leave.
Tips for a stern look
Choose the right moment and wait until the person pays attention to you to give him a menacing look.
To give a darker look, apply dark makeup to complete the look.
Practice in front of a mirror or with a friend.
A chilling look can provoke an unwanted confrontation or an unpleasant conversation. Keep this in mind if you do not want to talk to the person you are going to pierce with a sinister look.
Of particular importance for influencing the opponent is the shape of the gaze. The eyes actually have great power, they are able not only to receive, but also to give information. The principle of their work can be explained both from the mystical side and from the scientific side. We will not go into details about this, since this is a very large material and in some places very boring, and it is not entirely within our competence ... We will only analyze how to use it.
All people, one way or another, consciously or unconsciously react to such a value as the expression of the eyes of the interlocutor. Please note that the expression of the interlocutor's eyes always means a lot regarding the course of the conversation. We often involuntarily react to this or that expression, which either evokes sympathy, or makes us go into deep protection from possible negativity, or simply uplifting .... These reactions occur before we know or realize the true intentions of the interlocutor. These reactions are a response to the perception of the expression of the eyes.
The look can be confident, frightened, wandering, focused, arrogant, ingratiating, elusive, etc. and so on.
The eyes are the mirror of the soul. There is such wisdom. True skillful entry into the role includes the art of controlling the gaze. This combination can very easily influence the interlocutor.
There is also the expression "strong look". This is something similar when one person cannot stand the gaze of another.
What is needed to make your gaze strong and learn how to influence people with your gaze? First of all, of course, desire and aspiration, and then the acquisition of special skills. One has only to make a reservation that a look can be strong only when it is supported by the state of the soul, spirit. It should contain your intentions and emotions.
Well, let's start!
To begin with, we will master the power of the gaze.
Exercise 1. It consists in choosing a small object with a glance, focusing on it, as they say, staring at it, if possible without blinking, or doing it infrequently. Then it is necessary, as if to push, to press with a glance at the selected object. Maintain inner peace and confidence. The main point is to remember the sensations of pressure with your eyes.
Exercise 2. A game of glances with a partner or the same thing with strangers or passers-by. The only thing is that it is not recommended to do this explicitly. It is necessary to complete the exercise at the first sign of a reaction in your opinion. A sign of reaction is a change in the expression of the eyes.
Exercise 3. A special exercise for tension and relaxation of the gaze. At first try to relax, not the eyes, but the look, it looks like looking nowhere, the eyes are open, but we are not looking at anything., while not turning on the peripheral vision.
Thentry to turn on peripheral (lateral) vision, observing what is happening as if from a distance, and then alternate it with the concentration of the gaze on any particular object, according to the scheme of exercise 1.
Next exercise consists in uniform compression of the eyelids and eye sockets from all sides, you can also practice light squinting. This exercise causes specific tension, combined with relaxation is very beneficial for the eyes.
Nowlearn to look askance.
And finally,Let's learn to look while concentrating on an object and at the same time turning on peripheral vision.
Gradually, it is worth connecting to the training of the gaze the states of the spirit spontaneously evoked during the expression of the eyes, but specially strengthened by a volitional order.
Pay special attention to the feeling, which will help you learn to distinguish between tension in the gaze and relaxation.
Now let's practice with different forms of gaze accompanied by the corresponding states:
1. "Catch the rays of the eyes." catch the eye of the enemy and
fix it for a moment with some purpose.
2. “Shoot an arrow. Pick a target and stick to it
glance.

5. "Passing through the wall." This is a variant of the "reflection of the beam",
in which the performer looks past or through the opponent.
6. "Examining the booger." The look at which

space.
7. "The view of the master on the servant." The performer looks at
the enemy a little sideways and with disdain.
8. "Theft of pearls." Quick glance to the side
adversary to assess the situation.
9. "Spy in the enemy camp." Exploiting Opportunities
side vision, the performer collects information about
opponent, pretending not to look at him.
10. "Wounded tiger." The performer looks sharply, furiously, at
his face is that of an angry man. Often face
blushes, eyes are filled with blood, which is achieved by a special
exercise.
11. "Watch with fear." The performer's face expresses
fear, frightened look.
12. "Watch with a plea." The performer makes a pleading
facial expression, pleading in the eyes.
13. "Shameful girl." The gaze of the performer is directed
down, downcast. On the face - an expression of shame,
shyness.
14. "Village fool." The performer has a silly expression
faces and stupid eyes.
15. "Stone mask". Fixed, frozen expression
face, devoid of emotion look from under half-closed eyelids.
The eyes are almost motionless.
16. "Impatient Desire." purposeful look,
directed to one point. Concentration on the face, bad
hidden expectation, desire for something, for example,
the desire to strike at a specific target.
17. "Running Beam". The look of the performer all the time
eludes eye contact with the enemy.
18. "Lake surface". A look that reflects everything around and not on
than by itself not lingering. Maximum efficiency
