I feel like I do both. It just depends on my mood and situation. Sometimes I need to stare into peoples souls and other times I feel their stare is like a lazer and have to look away. So at times it’s distracting but other times it feels normal or natural. 😆😆😆. I think it’s fine to look away and do other things as long as the person knows you’re listening. I just add a nod or an occasional, yeah I hear ya.😆

For me, ive learned that my brain is really bad at multi tasking, so if im making eyr contact, my brain is focused on that and not the conversation… therefore i HAVE to look away to focus on the conversation

Artistlk :
I have a hard time with eye contact too. I feel like there's too much pressure and expectations on me if eyes are on me and I have to look back at them. Being able to look at something else I can get my thoughts down better. Eye can be intense for me. It's tough because some people who study body psychology say if a person isn't making eye contact it's due to lies or insecurities.

My name is backwards :
I force myself to make eye contact when I’m listening to someone so they know that I’m not ignoring them (even though I’m usually more distracted by making sure I’m giving the right amount and worrying about which eye I’m looking at or if I’m supposed to look at both, etc.) but when I am the one talking I almost never make eye contact. It’s all stressful.

Everything you said, makes perfect sense to me. Looking into people’s eyes probably takes the most of amount of energy in the fastest time. There’s just so much information. I can’t process all of it in the instant I’m staring.

Mrs. Taylor :
Yes! I had not realized why I wore contacts so often. I figured out it was my way of blending in and able to engage in some eye contact.

You are so right. The eye contact is so intense, it’s the receptor which gathers data on what’s being delivered or transmitted across. The general feeling of emotion becomes enhanced and the regulation starts to become unbearable. This is very important because the way we perceive one another with today society measure of communication the message needs to be clear on this it all starts with empathy. I get it completely you’re NOT alone 🖤
