I make a lot of eye contact.

The fuck is a mind war account

I’m terrible at eye contact I can either have awful eye contact and actually hear the conversation or I can have perfect eye contact and not hear a word the person says

I have to force myself to look at the person I’m talking to because some people want eye contact. I find it distracting and I find it easier to focus on what we’re talking about if I look aside from them.

Is this one of those you are now breathing manually tricks? Because I’m virtually never conscious of this.

I’m generally pretty good at it when I am comfortable with someone. But when I am anxious or sad I cannot for the life of me make eye contact with anyone.

FWIW, it’s a sign of autism. You may just be autie.

Good when I’m listening, bad when I’m talking. Ive been trained by years of online gaming to not look at people while I talk

It is a skill I possess and deploy as needed

That’s the neat part. I don’t!

I’m good at it. But, at the same time, I live in a pretty diverse area and I’ve met plenty of people who are clearly not super comfortable with it. So it’s an interesting balancing act to do it enough to be showing respect but not so much that I creep them out. Mostly I take my cues from their own eye contact levels.

I am immediately aware of how uncomfortable this makes people…so, I try not to do it very often.

Horrible. I’m in my own little world usually. Sometimes if I’m in a super good mood I’ll acknowledge people and nod etc. but otherwise it’s just a glance to make sure we’re not on a collision course and im not walking toward an axe murderer.

I never break eye contact and even follow their head with my own to meet their gaze. I think people respond well to it.
