For most people, i understand they most often look each other in the eyes. Since childhood, I’ve had an odd habit of watching people’s mouths when they speak. So much so, I’ve occasionally been asked to make eye contact instead. Curiously, the occasions when challenged for that… have been by people I’ve found to be most suspicious.
For a deaf person, lip reading is considered essential. For an able hearing person, i know it’s considered a bit odd. However, with all that said… I assure you, there is a lot unspoken to be witnessed in the mouth. I say this with the same certainty as people often talk about eyes as widows to the soul.
