Hey robots, do you maintain eye contact when talking with strangers

>>35828376
Depends entirely on the context. If it's a stranger I'm not interested in talking to I probably don't make eye contact. If the conversation is serious or threatening I do.

>>35828376
I try to as much as I can but just look away when it feels awkward. I used to just stare them in the eyes even though it felt weird because I figured i'd look nervous otherwise, but i'm fairly sure it just looked like I was staring. I wouldn't focus on their lips or nose you'll probably look kind of dead eyed and retarded.

I always look at something else, maybe a flick of eye contact every now and then.

I look at their mouths because that's where the noise comes from. Feels more natural.
Also, peoples eyes are spaced apart. Which one do you look at? Or you do you look in between them?

>>35828376
Yes. Isn't inability to do that one of the signs of autism or something

>>35828376
I try, I've been talking to this cute girl at school and its been getting easier since, the reason I never used to was because I feet like I was being creepy just by looking at someone but now I realize how stupid I was being

Hearty kek anon

>>35828474
yes it's a common symptom but you might just be socially awkward

>>35828477
you look directly in the eyes? sometime i tried it as well, but i feel like there is some sort of pattern where you have to stop staring and then you have to stare again to not seem like a sperg.

>>35828474
can confirm
t. socially dysfunctional sperg

>>35828606

How about you try this.
Look at their eyebrows.
Specially if there on fleek.
It gives the illusion of looking at their eyes.

Hope that helps anyone.

i like staring at strangers until they get uncomfortable and move
goes like this
>i make eye contact
>they make eye contact
>they look away after a few seconds
>i don't do the same
>realize i'm not going to look away
>look back
>look away
>look around the room pretending not to notice me
>move if beta
>ask me why i'm staring if functional human being
i'm autistic

Absolutely devilish. You evil bastard, you.

>>35828465
You have been diagnosed with autism

>>35828376
If you want to be a real alpha you need to have a staring contest with everyone even though it will make the situation look awkward as fuck, because you're one level of irony ahead of them by doing it deliberately

In my family's culture, it's rude to maintain contact with people you aren't close with. So I never learned.

I used to have huge problems with eye contact. It gets a lot easier when you're not depressed, when you realize that not everyone hates you by default. Some might even appreciate you. Makes you look at people in a whole new way.

I try, what I end up getting is a constant gazing at their eyes then back down every few seconds or so, and when I feel like I'm doing this too much I'll star a bit longer to make up for it. How the fuck do normies auto eye contact? It always feels unnatural and forced RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

>>35828376
eye contact is a lie, don't force yourself to look someone's eye. you need to look around their mouth, cuz thats where their speech comes from. eye-mouth contact is the natural one

>>35830115
it get's easier. just keep trying.

>>35828376
yeah its no big deal but you shouldn't overdo it unless you want to fuck with them like>>35828724

btw who is that cutie ? Is it that erica girl ?
