<div class='uawarticle'>Eyes communicate a lot about what you feel and what you are thinking. They can show everything from how you feel about yourself to attraction to aggression. Your eye contact and your blinking are strong non-verbal signals. When you communicate with someone, whether you know it or not, you are sending and receiving messages from their eyes. These signals are an honest form of communication about what you are thinking or feeling. We often believe a person's non-verbal signals over the words they say because this form of communication is often less contrived and more truthful than verbal communication.<br />
<br />
Blinking is a normal act that we usually do involuntarily. This natural movement lubricates our eyes and keeps out irritants. Blinking helps us to focus on the things in front of us. It also helps us refocus from looking at one thing to the next.<br />
<br />
While blinking is natural, the speed at which we blink can give away something about what we are thinking or feeling. We all send lots of non-verbal messages with our eyes and a natural rate of blinking doesn't communicate much. Your blinking often says something, however, when it is faster or slower than normal. Increased or decreased blinking speed can mean a number of different things. Use the following potential meanings only as guidelines about the potential meaning of a person's rate of blinking.<br />
<br />
When someone blinks noticeably more quickly than usual, their system is kicking into gear. They have been alerted. The cause of this can be any number of reasons. They could be excited, they could be fibbing, or they may even be under stress. It shows they are not relaxed but their blinking alone won't necessarily tell you why.<br />
<br />
Blinking quickly doesn't necessarily mean they are experiencing a positive or a negative feeling. They could be stressed in social situations, they could be lying, or they might feel threatened in this particular conversation. They could even be day dreaming. One study showed that blinking more often was a signal that we were checking out from our surroundings. You can't know exactly what quick blinking means until you get more clues from their other types of communication.<br />
<br />
Blinking slowly signifies that a person's system is slowing. Blinking noticeably slower is a sign that someone is bored or checking out. When someone is bored, their system slows down and this shows in things like your blinking. Think about watching a movie and dozing off. Your eyelids get heavy and eventually you nod to sleep. Hopefully no one ever does this in conversation with you but seeing slowed blinking is a sign that the other person is tired or disengaged.<br />
<br />
Blinking slowly could also be a sign that the person is trying to look calm. If someone recognizes the fact that they are blinking more quickly because they are nervous, lying or stressed, they may purposefully try to control it. If the person overcompensates, however, their blinking could look unusually slow.<br />
<br />
Changes in blinking speed can show many different thoughts or feelings. These differences in blinking can mean something different in a different situation or from one person to the next. To have a better idea of what these changes in blinking mean, pay attention to other verbal and non-verbal clues the person is sending.<br />
