Which is more difficult for you?

I always look at someone eye during the conversation. It is not difficult...both ways...not looking at people's eye..is like telling someone that you are not listening..

I think it is harder to look someone else in theyes when I am telling them how I feel. no one seems to take me very serious and they do not really hear the words I say or understand what I mean or I am saying. I also find it difficult to look into their eyes also because I think they are just telling me what I want to hear but they do not really mean it. I feel very nervous either way. I really don't like staringat people or into their eyes but I do listen and I do try to understand them.

this is a very interesting question, but it is not hard for me to look into anybody's eyes. Culturally speaking in america and canada it is what is expected of us. Many people would actually find it rude if we didn't. I don't necessarily find it rude unless it is blatantly obvious that the person is not looking at me because they are ashamed of me or something like that.

That's a good question joice, I have to say it's when they ask me how I feel. It's very intense to look someone in the eyes and most people can't do it for very long. It's like being looked into instead of being looked at. I think it's something that needs more attention because we don't pay enough attention to people, or ourselves for that matter.

It would be when someone else was telling me how they felt. It makes me mervous too because I don't know what htey are gong to say.

I am a shy person. It has been difficult for me to look into someone's eyes and tell them how I feel. It probably is because I am afraid to express myself. I am better in expressing myself in writing than in talking to someone in person. When I was still in elementary and I used to gain friends by writing to them first and then we would exchange letters.

Like you, it's harder for me to look 'em in the eyes when they're doing the talking. Part of it has to do with not wanting the person to see what I'm thinking until I have a chance to hear the whole story. I don't want any fleeting emotions of mine to alarm them for no reason.

Well i do tend to look at someones eyes when i get personal, i seem to enjoy that part. But when i tell someone somthing i thing that it is more difficult to me, then when i am speaking. I know that in the intimate part, it builds up positive tension. and in the friendship role it makes the things more personal, and the person you are speaking to and hearing his stories, knows that you actually listen and care.

I would have to go with when someone is telling me their feelings. I think it is still that insecure little girl lurking in the background that makes me do this. :) Otherwise I look directly at the person that I am talking to.

Mee too Joice, it's very hard for me to look in their eyes when they tell what they feel. Specially when you know the feelings is related to to love. LOLz

For me it is more difficult to look someone's eyes and tell how i feel. I feel nervous and fear that i might offend this person, i have fear to loose him forever wherein if this person is the one who will tell me how he/she feel i very much welcome his/her comments. I am always ready to listen and examine myself, then have some change if necessary.

I may say that both things are difficult in the same way. I can't define exactly why. I feel like it. It is always a situation that makes me feel uneasy.
