Look into my eyes!

You forgot inb4 eggface, eggface!

Anyway, yeah some people are like this but thankfully nobody I know is like this, had it at some previous places of work but not any more.

Probably because I'm more handsome now than ever before.


Yes.
 
Autistic maybe. Or he heard you're gay and didn't want to make eye contact incase you raped him?

I have no idea why you decided to involve phones in this discussion, it's a different thing.

I must have honestly missed something, can you explain what you mean about read and learn the original post? I'm being sincere not rude, I may have been to quick to post?

Because maybe that's what I feel comfortable doing? Maybe I feel more comfortable staring at an inanimate object than looking at you when you speak. It's the same thing.

The difference being that one, in your eyes is acceptable and the other is blatantly not.
I'm asking why?

He's agreeing with you. He's telling me to read and learn, I'm the OP.

I wouldn't mind at all. If they're a stranger, I couldn't care less, wont see them again etc... If they're someone I know then I would know why they don't make eye contact or tell them to look at me.

I have an autistic friend in college, he finds it extremely hard to make eye contact and I have absolutely no problem with that at all.

Usually look them in the eye, except if they have a lazy eye - then it gets harder. always takes me too long to pick the right one to focus on, so have to avert my gaze for a second while i 'consider what they have said' , then re focus and try again. ;)

I know a couple of people with lazy eyes though, so happens less often with them now.
 
When I'm talking to people I barely ever look them in the eye.
I just don't like it... it's weird. I also don't like it when people stare at me when I'm talking to them :p
 
op seems far too obsessed with trying to insist in desexualising the event.


clearly he's suppressing his perverted desires.
 
Tip for people lacking confidence in interviews etc where you should be looking people in the eye, look at the bridge in between the persons eyes. Then it looks like you are looking them in the eyes but with less discomfort.
 
Don't look into people eyes, look at their forehead, in-between their eye brows.

Unless you can control both eyes individually then you can't look them in the eyes because you will focus on one, looking in the centre of their head make it look like you are looking into their eyes though. :)
 
If someone's trying to tell me something that I really need to pay attention to listen to, then I'll tend to tilt my ear to them and listen that way. It's nothing to do with confidence, as I am a confident person. If it's not serious or even an extended monologue I'm expecting, then I do look at people in the eyes. However, it's nothing to do with confidence, but I do find it slightly 'weird' to be staring into someone's eyes for any extended period of time; it's like you're expecting to tongue wrestle at the next awkward pause.

It's to do with that's simply how I listen best. I don't give a **** if you think it's rude for not looking at you in the eyes, I'd tell you to do one anyway because you're being the idiot who's making a mountain out of a molehill.

I've had more than my fair share of idiots in my life: "Look at me when I'm talking to you."

I am listening **** wit. That's why I've turned my ****ing ear towards you.

I always like to have somewhere else to look though - I like talking to people side on best because then I can stand and survey the scene without having to look in their eyes/ constantly flick gaze around/ appear rude by looking at notepad or something instead.
 
I think eye contact is overrated, have had some of the most profound conversations with friends while in a car and eye contact was minimal.
