The eyes are frequently referred to as the "windows to the soul" since they are capable of revealing a great deal about what a person if feeling or thinking. As you engage in conversation with another person, taking note of eye movements is a natural and important part of the communication process. Some common things you may note is whether people are making direct eye contact or averting their gaze, how much they are blinking, or if their pupils are dilated.

Basic understanding of body language suggests that excess blinking implies lying.

The frequency at with a person blinks can not be accurately interpreted as being caused by a certain thing. And therefor there is no use in trying to understand why someone is blinking so much or even attempt to derive meaning from it. It simply isn't logical.

It's un-provable either way Vitalini, but personally I distrust automatically the 'blinking eye syndrome' immediately!

I didn't mean that blinking CAN'T have something to do with how a person is feeling, but there are SO many other factors which can cause over-blinking that it would not be possible to distinguish between them.

Yes I know, and I take that into consideration. I always look directly into the eyes of whomever I'm conversing with, and I've noticed that some people have a hard time doing that.

Make a mental note and get back to me in a week or so, if you too notice any other 'tics' some people express in your conversations.

Sometimes it means they are lying. But a lot of times it means they are being smug and preachy.
