How come I cant look at people in the eyes when talking to them

I feel kinda scared to look people in the eyes and talk to them sometimes especially chicks.. I cant stare most girls in the eyes or not stare just look.. Most people i talk to I just to i looka their eyes briefly and look away

:cry:

Socially awkward?

I am the same way, I think it's weird when people just stare at your eyes the entire time while they talk to you

You're just not used to it. You just have to find the right balance. Too much and you seem weird. Not enough and you seem awkward.

I use to have a problem with looking people in the eye. Especially when people tried to talk to me seriously, I'd always laugh for some reason until I looked away from their eyes. I don't have that problem any more though. Sometimes when I'm on the bus I like to stare at strangers' eyes just to freak them out. Some of them stare back, usually in a friendly way.Crunchy_Nuts

ARG i hate when people stare at me on the bus... those akward moments with people they stare at me for 1-2 seconds then look away...

um are my pics showing in my profile..? Im not scared or anything i find it akward that people look at my eyes when talking and i look at them lol

I hate it when teachers look me in the eyes when they're teaching a class, especially if its more than a second or two. Other than that I don't have a problem with it.

Social anxiety on a small scale. No big deal, I'm like that too every now and then.

it can be kinda awkward, especially when the girl is pretty and i'm stuttering like an idiot

Unless you are looking for some sort of immediate contact with the person I would not suggest looking at eyes. It is not safe.
If, however, you want some unsafe contact, go right ahead.

Just stare at their nose, people can't tell the difference.

I've always been like that. It's just one of those difficulties from being socially akward.

I don't have a problem with looking someone in the eyes unless they're close enough they can smell my fear.

I do the same thing but its not cuz im feeling shy or something (even if i am), its just feels weird to stare at them especially if they're close to u. My eyes arent need to listen, only my ears are

Also TC i agree with the other guy, i always liked that sig, epic

I find it awkward even with people I'm not uncomfortable to be around...

It makes me unconfortable as well. It also depends on how I'm feeling at the time. Sometimes I feel more confident and it's easier. It really comes down to confidence. The funny part is I don't look like a person who would have trouble with this type of thing.

I hear ya man, I'm the same way. I can make eye contact but I've kinda gotta force myself. I'll usually glance away, and shift back especially if we're talking for a long time. Staring for this looooooong time just strikes me as really awkward

I use to have this teacher who'd get right up in my face and stare directly into my eyes, uh uh. She needed to back it up with all that lol :P

Move to japan where it's rude to look in the eyes.

Anywho, I once did that but now I look straight in the eyes of people I talk to.

its not a big deal. sometimesI hatesomeone always lookingin my eyes whenhe talk to me.because I must share my attention to notice weather he look at me. that bother me so much.

It means you don't trust people.

It happens to me also, I was more self aware of it when I was younger, today it still happens but less so. I think we can all get better with practice, once you identify your problem, just work on fixing it, next time, instead of staring for ... 3 seconds and then moving your eye away, try 6 seconds, blinking helps in this situation also. I highly doubt this is a problem exclusive to you.

Because your weak.

Although sometimes I don't look people in the eyes if I find them really ugly, ceause it offends my senses.

You're just not used to it. You just have to find the right balance. Too much and you seem weird. Not enough and you seem awkward.

^this, it needs to be a mix of looking them in the eye and looking at other stuff too~ i used to be the same way, it just takes practice and getting used to it as well. self confidence helps alot and the better you get at it the more self confidence you will have~
