Do you make eye contact?

Post Reply New Topic

I normally look at someone’s forehead and/or chin instead of eyes when I talk to people at work, since I absolutely hate direct eye contact. It’s like, I don’t like staring directly into your soul every time I talk to you, coworker! I think I’m able to make it look enough like eye contact that people don’t think I’m super weird.

I can make eye contact for very specific intervals. It's much easier for me when I create a pattern (e.g. eye contact for two seconds, look away for five seconds, repeat). Most people won't be paying close enough attention to pick up on it. You could also look somewhere around their eyes (eyebrows, eyelashes, etc.) to give the effect of eye contact without actually doing it.
