Eye Contact

My brother told me I made too much eye contact during a conversation and it was creepy. Is it weird to make eye contact throughout a conversation? I've never thought about it before; it just seems natural for me to look into people's eyes when I am talking to them. So, how about you, OT? Do you make eye contact when you are speaking with someone?

Where are you supposed to look when you are talking to someone?

Not enough eye contact is what's weird. Unless your eyes bug out during the conversation, you should be maintaining eye contact most of the time.

[QUOTE="harashawn"] I always thought it was their eyes; but he says you are supposed to look away frequently. :?harashawn

You should be maintaining eye contact most of the time. Yes. Pirate700

i make little to no eye contact it's just weird to me

Unless you like someone, you should never be making too much eye contact. Too much meaning you're staring at the person as if you're going to lunge at them and have a big make out session. At the same itme, too little eye contact is bad as well. Somewhere in the middle is just fine.Shottayouth13-

TC, you want eye contact but you don't want to be this guy...

I was taught it was a sign of respect, so I cant agree with that...maybe it's the way you do it though. A relaxed face is much different than...well

There's just something about having a person look at me during a conversation, that for some reason, creeps me out.

Naturally, I don't make much eye contact and I try to avoid it with people I just met.

No offense but that sounds like a social problem if you try not to make eye contact with anyone.

Maybe it is......

I can only make eye contact with people I trust.....Maybe I should really look into that.

I have problems making eye contant when I speak to someone. My eyes start burning and I have to look somewhere else.

I prefer to shiftily move my eyes around constantly when I'm talking to someone, never making eye contact with them at all. That makes people trust you I've heard.

I hardly ever make eye contact, it's really difficult for me.

I usually just look at the different points on a person's face(left eye, right eye, nose, mouth, etc) and cycle again every few seconds. That way it doesn't look like I'm staring into their soul.

I do find it creepy when people give intense eye contact it seems like they don't blink for a good few minutes.

There is a difference between eye contact and staring, TC.
