Eye Contact with people??

I always make direct eye contact with who ever, it's my way of showing them they do not scare me. Why do I feel that way, cause they do scare me, LOL. It's a defense, looking them directly in the eye is my warning to them, “don't mess with me”. If I wasn't afraid, I know I wouldn't feel that way.

i am a hunter for eye contact. i just hate it when i do not get the eye contact with people when having a conversation with them. i also like to make eye contact on the street, i do not make it in restaurants, because i do not think it is ok to do it when people eat :D.

It depends really on what is being discussed to be honest or what is being said I do make Eye Contact with my Man though when we talk as the eyes say it all It really does depend what the Discussion is about whether I make Eye Contact or not

I am not one to make too much eye contact with people. I see too much and I don't like others seeing too much of me. So I rarely make eye contact with people outside of those I am close to unless I am in a serious debate, conversation, ect and need my point across. I always heard that the eyes are the 'windows to your soul' and that makes them sacred to me.

I am like you .Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. It's according to the situation. with family and friends ,I always make eye contact

95% of the time i do make eye contact..i think it is really important to do that...you can gain trust, confidence or you can really intimidate someone by only making eye contact...so cheers and have fun...

I try not to make eye contact with people because it freaks them out if I do.

Anyone that I meet I look in the eye. I notice my friends eyes the most. I think that looking in the eye of anyone you meet makes you less of a target too. As a rule I hold everyone accountable for what they do so if they are looking at me in the eye I think that we are connecting and working effectively. I guess that is just me. I am more assertive that many anyway.

I try to make eye contact in most situations. I have to deal with people a lot in my job and sometimes I might be a bit preoccupied, but for the most part I do look them in the eye. I think it relays a sense of trust as well as friendliness. I know one woman that doesn't look ANYONE in the eye. It is weird in a way. But she is a great person and very trustworthy. Perhaps it is a shyness or phobia, I don't know.

As a mental health professional, I am very cognizant of eye contact. I make eye contact with everyone. Making eye contact with others is very important in my opinion. It 'seals the deal' if one is doing a transaction, it is a matter of respect if one is listening to another speak, it is many things in many different situations. I feel that if I make eye contact as I say something to someone, they have better heard me and are less likely to forget what I ahve said. It also shows them that I value them/their opinion. In the case of ordering at a restaurant, it shows that I respect them/their job and am trusting that they will do their best. To not make eye contact with someone I am placing an order would to me be very demeaning.

I usually don't have a problem with making eye contact. Occasionally I might feel uncomfortable, but even then I would still try to keep that contact. Some subjects might make it more difficult though.

I make eye contact with people everywhere. People consider me to be very assertive...

i think we should have eye contact with others when we talk with them. it's polite and can show our confidence. but sometimes when we are nervous or shy, we find it hard to have eye contact. it is suggested that we can look at others' nose bridge in such a situation.

I'm always weirded out by eye contact with people. Epsecially strangers. I think eye contact is a very personal thing and I just feel uncomfortable being personal like that with strangers and people that I don't know well. I've been at my job for 5 years and am comfortable enough with most of my co-workers and boss' to make eye contact.. friends as well but anyone else makes me feel uncomfortable for sure.

U can make eye contact unless u do something offensive or wrong

I do sometimes. Depends on the person & what we're talking about. I don't necessarily see eye contact as proof that someone is honest. The most skilled liars can lie to you under any conditions.

It depends on the situation, for example, when u r talking to someone or when u r trying to get the person's attention, you got to make eye-contact. I will not make any eye-contact when I just want to be left alone. Most of the time, making eye-contact with someone is an expression of respect cos you are pay attention to them.

I always maintain eye contact to whomever I'm having discussions with. It's a sign of respect and it also means that I'm still aware of what we're talking about. Honestly, I get annoyed at people who fails to do that. I tend to get insulted because it's as if they are not interested anymore for what I have to say. It's downright humiliating. But then, maintaining eye contact has its downside. If the person I'm having a discussion with just keeps on talking and talking, and I start to get weary, I have a hard time maintaining that eye contact. And when I can barely take it any longer, I politely make an end to that discussion. At least, by doing that I avoid offending someone.
