1. Don't force them
Jynxi is a good example of what not to do, his blinks are extremely forced, this accelerates crows feet and it makes him seem neurodivergent.
2. Keep blink intervals nt
Roughly every 4 seconds is ideal, 15 per minute is around average. If you blink too often you will seem neurodivergent. You can typically get away with blinking less rather than more, however if you maintain eye contact for a significant amount of time then you will seem less warm and colder if your blink per minute rate is too low.
3. Keep blink length at ideal
You do not want to have very long blinks, this will make you seem unenergetic and strange in general. A rough goal is the average persons blink is 0.25seconds long, so try to match that. You may have been informed that cats typically see long blinks (0.4+ seconds) as a sign of friendship and warmth, however it is important to not use this advice when interacting with humans.
