How To Connect With Anyone

Ойын-сауық

Studies say that 4 minutes of uninterrupted eye contact can increase intimacy. To test this theory out, we brought in six pairs in different stages of their relationship and had them try it. How do you stay connected? Check out the NYT article that inspired the video: nyti.ms/1DiYgWH

    SoulPancake If this is the study by Dr Arthur Aron, there are 36 questions the participants are supposed to ask each other before staring into each other's eyes for 4 minutes. The questions are designed specifically to deepen connections and feelings towards one another, romantic or otherwise. It would be awesome if you did a separate video where the participants test out the questions, or even one with the questions and the staring :)

    I think they really care about each other, they just don't know how to express it. Which is something I see more often in elderly couples. Saying that she only looks into his eyes to check his bloodsugar DOES means she cares about him and wants him to be healthy. Why would you otherwise check someones eyes to make sure he doesn't has an hypo/hyper attack? The problem with being so long together is you get used to each other and take each other for granted. A sit down an talking like they had here (or staring) can make you appreciate each other

    This small video just grew my heart 3 sizes bigger! Eye contact is a huge thing for me. I have an eye turn (or lazy eye), and I used to get teased about it a lot. As a result, I conditioned myself not to look directly into anyone's eyes. Slowly I am growing out of that instinct, but after seeing this video I will be more intentional with my eye contact. It was truly beautiful to witness the couples truly SEE each other. It's pretty cliche, but I guess the eyes really are the window to the soul. And mine were pretty watery after watching this. Thanks a lot Soul Pancake. No really, thanks a lot! You guys add so much value to my life!

    I have a lazy eye too and I;m very insecure about it. Eye contact is a big challenge for me because sometimes when I look at a person, they look around them trying to figure out what I'm looking at. I know they aren't doing it on purpose but seeing them do that always reminds me that I have a problem. So I tend not to make eye contact, still have that instinct to look away and I don't know how to change it >.

    I don't know if it helps or not, but most folks are just trying to figure out where to direct their attention. If you can give them a cue by looking steadily at them through one eye for a bit people won't bumble around and make you uncomfortable when it's the last thing they want.

    Honestly the best part about this for me is how you can see the different stages of intimacy happening as time goes on. When they start, they find it uncomfortable, strange, and even try not to laugh. But by the time they reached the end they look completely entranced in the other person. They're able to keep a straight face and stay quiet, without breaking the eye contact. It's incredible to me, and I hope one day I can experience a moment of connection like this and FEEL it. 💙

    As a person who once used to be so full of life and the center of attention, I now deal with extreme anxiety in any social setting and avoid being around people due to many inside and outside factors BUT watching these videos on this channel and others has made me very appreciative and feel more connected especially in a time where we ALL are consumed with our phones & the internet in which we feel like we have access to so much yet its all limited interaction and socially akward connections.... We need this!! i need this.... It CHALLENGES us to engange in something more deeper than a profile, a tweet and even deeper into our own insecurities as individuals collectively

    The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Sometimes they can hypnotize, sometimes take control. Eyes reflect the inner world of someone. Wether they are spiritual, worldly, in love, or like fun. When eyes are bright, clear and they shine, the heart is pure and clean. When they are dark, empty, and cold the person is distant and mean. So, always look inside someone eyes and see if you can make a connection. If you want to ignore someone, or show affection.

    Watching them connect made me cry tears of happiness. I once got my two young men children to do an experiment with me. They were 18 and 22 years of age at the time. We sat across from each other and just looked into each others eyes for two solid minutes. No talking. We had always been a close family. But after this we became much closer. How easy it can be to allow the windows of your soul to open up onto the view of another's. ❤💛💚💙💜💖

    I often watch videos like this to gain insight into humanity. And every time I do, I leave disappointed...with more questions than answers. The people in these videos, much like many of the people in these comments, only reaffirm my already dwindling hope in humanity, and the sheer magnitude of human among the earth, further extinguish my fire. They only document how alone, isolated, lost and without purpose we are as an entity. Brings to light a question I have sought the answer to for over a decade now. What are people thinking? What is going through a "normal" human's brain? Because it is drastically different than what is in mine. How do you live with someone 50 years, and never see them? Then what is marriage built on? A script, and playbook, dependence, obligation, tradition or in more common words, just because??? This is the bain of my existence... I'm too aware of the world, to thrive in the world.

    Yes, the world is corrupt and broken, but you have to oversee that. You have to trust, not search for, that there's good in this world. And, you have to trust that YOU can make the world a beautiful place, and that YOU can be that beacon of hope for humanity. Inspire people because it will bring you smiles that you never knew existed from your heart once you see the way people notice your kindness, and that it's making them kind too. And you'll see that yes, the world is and always will be corrupt, but there's still love, and beauty, and individuality, and inspiration. I hope you see the world as a beautiful place, because I believe that people are corrupt, but people are also very beautiful. Sincerely, Mikaela.

    Shawn S I'm nearly 30 and my isolation seems to only be getting worse... It took 30 years to get a girlfriend, who is my only friend, but we continue to encounter situations... She knows "these things", but I'm often lost at sea, and I can't count on her to always be there to save me. I feel this will be the factor in her leaving me. I try to talk to her about it...but she doesn't understand me. Our relationship is that of keeper & puppy. It continually confounds me that no one, at least in my reality, can explain themselves. The only time I'm truly happy is in nature. I think that's the answer, society is extraterrestrial, and I missed my chance to be indoctrinated, so my only hope for peace is to leave society. Only in the company of other terrestrial beings will life make sense.

    This is something I'd love to do and to do with someone I want to know more with. Eyes as the window of one soul tells so many things that words are not enough to explain it all. Bravo!

    This is nice video staring each other. I couldn't stop my tears falling from my eyes of the beautiful couple who married for 55 years. This video make each couple realize how they need and love each other.

    I actually had to do this before with someone I knew very little of and it helped ease ourselves and after the 4 minutes I felt much more comfort with that person. I would love to do this with someone dear to me to bring us closer and have that special 4 minute connection. thank you for the video :)
