The moment I make real eye contact I hope for the conversation to end quickly, because I can't disconnect the eye contact. I try to offset my gaze a bit, but for some reason my mind will try to make eye contact again, it's hard to concentrate and keep my eyes from making contact again. And when I make eye contact, it's like I see straight inside the person. Now that I think of it, this differs from person to person, it feels more weird when the other person is not someone close to me.
- stevezsa8 4y agoI'm curious how you feel when listening compared to talking. I mean, is it more comfortable to concentrate with eye contact when you're listening to the other person? In other words when not trying to concentrate on forming a response to a question. I appreciate this won't work in every situation. But I personally find it easier to make eye contact when I'm listening to a friend tell me about their weekend or something.
- yolo3000 4y agoI think for me there's 2 levels of eye contact. When you look at the eyes, and then when your pupils look straight into the other pupils. When I look straight into the pupils, it's like I put a fix on them and I get some sort of tunnel vision. Now that I think of it maybe my brain thinks of the reverse, that I'm somehow put on the spot by the other person, and I become anxious. Doesn't happen all the time, but when it happens, it becomes weird.
