Askthedude Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 To put this into perspective: Mein Kampf was in 5th Confession: I've wanted to read Mein Kampf for a while now, just need to find somewhere to buy/borrow/steal it from. :unsure: Why can't the Big Bang be done by the hand of God?It could have, but it is next to impossible because it also could have been caused by the flying spaghetti monster, or one of the other infinite number of deity possibilities.

Wongtong Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I have a big problem with not making eye contact during conversations. I believe I'm slightly autistic because I share some symptoms (no eye contact, get upset when my regular schedule is broken, am quite reserved a lot of the time). I don't intentionally do it, and I get embarrassed because the other person probably doesn't think I'm listening because my eyes are somewhere else. I get a weird feeling when I look someone in the eye. I can't do it for more than a second. Self diagnosis is bad. I mean, I would say that I'm not autistic and pretty normal, but I have trouble with eye contact (e.g I had a conversation with a teacher today and just stared down at my textbook the whole time) and the other things you mentioned. I hate not being able to look people in the eye, I just get so self-conscious and embarrassed. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

httpBen Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Not to mention there's a difference between being shy and having autism.Having an older brother with severe autism, very much ^this^. I'd say a large percentage of the population have a problem with looking in people's eyes for any length of time. It's a basic animal sign of dominance, so it makes sense, especially with teachers and the like. Then again, they seem to diagnose just about anyone that's a bit antisocial with Asperger's these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It may just be me, but I've noticed that if I actually start thinking about where I'm looking when I'm making eye contact, I get extremely uncomfortable. It's kinda the same as that, "You are now aware you are breathing" type thing. For me, when this happens, I end up getting anxious because I don't know what eye to look at, or if I should look between their eyes at their nose bridge. Because naturally, I think our eyes don't focus on one part, but on the face in general; once you notice this, you find yourself looking at a specific point on their face, which is kinda weird onze you realize it. I find it terribly hard to keep eye contact with most girls, because the above is running through my head, and also because some of them are just so darn intimidating. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm pretty sure there's a difference between looking at their face and their eyes. When most people say it's polite/respectful to look someone in the eyes, I doubt they mean looking straight at someone's eyeballs. It's more of a general, keep your head oriented towards their head. I said this in my last post, but we tend to not focus our eyes on specific facial features; rather, our eyes take in the face as a whole. It's only until you realize you're looking at their face that you go and pick out a specific feature to look at. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you engage their face when they are talking to you just to show that you are listening and not staring down their top (if Female.)

My_Eggs Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Oddly enough, even though I'm really shy, I always look anyone that I'm talking to in the eyes. I don't know why, it just seem natural to me.

The details are important.That's a lot of analysis. I guess it could be subconscious, but I doubt how accurate that is. Obviously there's some sort of explanation that could be made for each facial feature, but honestly, whenever I decide to think about what I'm looking at on a persons face, I find myself just switching from facial feature to facial feature with no real reason. There could be studies, but at this point, I find it hard to believe there's a correlation between where people look and what they are feeling towards the person (except maybe the feelings associated with no eye contact at all [and maybe looking at the lips]). I could be totally wrong, though. Just seems like a bit too analytical. | My Tumblr | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenticular_J Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It's way too analytical. I hate analyzing things. Doesn't mean it isn't useful knowledge.
