Don’t look at me like that. Look away, you look at me in a way that reaches my soul, I don’t know what those eyes have to say for you, I look and I know how you feel, there’s no need to say a word.
But how can the eyes say the same thing? Maybe they’re just telling me, do I have a special gift for interpreting a look?I always thought you had the ability to express a whole universe of emotions only with your eyes, but maybe I have the ability to decipher what you suggest the look.
Am I right or do I mix my fears and desires with reality, wonder what I think you mean?
Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t want to see what your eyes ask of me Ah!I know! I’m going to look down, it’s going to distract my cell phone, the cell phone allows you to disconnect from the looks around you, from the looks that ask for your eyes, from the looks that want to interact with you.
When we look down, others’ pain, hope, and sadness disappear, no one will judge you by looking at a screen. Don’t they do that too? Are you looking at me like that?
I don’t know what you’ve got, but my soul moves me. Why do you provoke so many emotions without my permission?I can only look away again, what can’t the eyes see?
Can’t you see that your look awakens my compassion? Yes, your eyes accompanied by your silence. Now I have to do something! Don’t look at me like that, I know what’s happening to you and I can’t help feeling the same as you. Come on, that’s it! Have some of my lasagna but enjoy it, you know it’s my favorite food and I’m really hungry?
I’m just asking for one thing in return, stop looking at me like that, please?
What we do, what we say, what we don’t do, and what we silence has an emotional impact on others.
The mechanism responsible for the empathy we feel is called the limbic system, the limbic system is a complex brain structure that handles a lot of information, the limbic system, in essence, is responsible for awakening, erasing and managing our emotions according to the information that our senses perceive.
A look, a song, a sharp pain or a freshly brewed coffee smell are detected by our senses, endowed with meaning by our cerebral cortex and emotion by our limbic system.
Our emotional stability depends a lot on the relationship we establish with the people around us.
The limbic system has a feature that makes it very special, our limbic system is an open structure that can come into contact with the limbic system of our interlocutor, so that we can feel exactly like him, through this complex system we can show empathy, we are saddened by the tears of our son, we are happy with the success of our partner and we are nervous about the goal of our favorite football team.
A more emotionally expressive person will eventually infect their interlocutor with their emotions.
Remember: the next time someone looks at you, don’t look down to silence what you’re feeling, look people in the eye and you’ll know how they feel and the emotion they provoke you.
