Revenge: ClosedEyeTalkers

Do you know what a Closed Eye Talker is? It is an arrogant person who closes his or her eyes when they speak at you. They blink their eyes just like the rest of us but sometimes one of those blinks seems to take 3 whole seconds or more.

According to body language experts the person who does this would rather be in another place, away from you, and feels so superior that he doesn’t even want to look at a lowly person like you.

Or maybe they are just very tired or surrealists. More on that later.

I know at least 4 people who are Closed Eye Talkers and it has always annoyed me immensely. Until I read a great book about Body Language I didn’t know what to do about it. But now I do. I have found the ultimate revenge and now actually look forward to meeting a Closed Eye Talker. I can hardly wait!

This is the trick: the moment someone closes their eyes while talking with you, you immediately take a big step to the left or right. The person with the closed eyes will assume you didn’t move and will be completely disoriented when he opens his eyes and you are gone. The effect is tremendous! Like you have completely disappeared and re-appeared somewhere else.

I tested it this weekend with 2 friends and had so much fun. We took turns closing our eyes and doing The Move. Try it too in the office tomorrow and then tell everyone you know.

It is time to fight back at those arrogant Closed Eye Talkers and now we have the weapons to do it…

These guys are not Closed Eye Talkers. This is a photo taken in 1929 in the first Photomaton (Photobooth?) in Paris. The reason these man have their eyes closed is that they are surrealists. The surrealists were fascinated by the self. Not the conscious, rational self but the subconscious side of their being. They were dreamers and used the Photomaton to illustrate this by posing with their eyes closed.

So before you apply the Closed Eye Talkers Revenge Move first find out if you might be dealing with a surrealist. If not, go for it!
