how much eye contact do you make wen you talk to people?

how bout when theres a group of people?

if i had the choice

i would like to never look at ppl at all

on the other hand i do like to look at people sometimes

but then i feel like i'm staring...

but then default mode is to just not look at people

but then i realized what if people think you're being conceited or something

there are people that i like and i still don't make eye contact.

any experts of eye contact around here?

I don't have any problems with it. I usually look at their eyes, than away after 5-6 seconds. And repeat.

i used to have a huge problem with eye contact - i hated looking people in the eyes and i hated people looking me in the eyes. but then that was back when i was super shy and stuck to myself. i still don't keep eye contact that often, but i try to make an effort, particularly when i'm meeting someone for the first time/in interviews. just start off with a few seconds, then as you become more comfortable with the idea, hold contact for longer.

depends on how close the person is to me. i hate looking at people directly in the eye when they're REALLY close (like, in your personal space). i do have a tendency to maintain eye contact for a long time if the person is at a decent distance, but i guess i have a naturally mean expression, and people tend to think i'm challenging them or something!


stupid body language is so complicated.

I don't mind eye contact when talking but when I'm walking around, my eyes are always staring at the ground. This is why I can never recognize anyone I know when I'm walking -- I'm totally separated from the environment because I'm listening to my iPod and my eyes are staring at the ground -.-;;

Some of you people need to establish some self-esteem and learn to carry yourself with a sense of self-importance.

I tend to have problems with people, girls specifically, making eye contact with me. Especially when it's with their fist.

Oh gosh, I have a huge issue with making eye contact with people, especially people I don't know, I'm pretty awkward in real life.

With females, I usually keep constant eye contact. With males, I keep good eye contact, but also look away frequently.

[Velocitii]

You don't have to look directly into their eyes, just make sure it's in the general vicinity... like their nose or eyebrows. People think you're looking into their eyes when you're just looking 'around' their eyes. Still works.

But yes, eye-contact is important. Especially, if you want to make a good impression at work... or anywhere.

Try looking at the bridge of their nose. They'll think you're making eye contact. Works like a charm for me.

It's weird for me. I have problem making eye contact with some people especially those who are intimidating.

[justwildbeat]

Hahaha I like to stare at people in the eyes, dunno why. So far no one has said it was creepy.

Same. I hate making eye contact with strangers when I'm walking...it feels like I'm staring at them or something. Usually when I walk I only look down or straight, so that's why I don't pay attention to people walking past me. My friends are usually the ones that see me first...

[chickyl3aby]

is there such thing as TOO much eye contact? i tend to keep eye contact with someone i am talking to... i need to learn to break away more often? i'm not sure if they feel uncomfortable with me looking at them for such a long time...

Same same, like the proverb.. The eyes are the windows of the soul
I tend to send many messages by them ^^;;

[xenny]

i tend to look at the lips too haha.. =]
