You could also look at people when they are talking on the TV in the eye. Then they will never know.


Good idea!

That's what I use it for too, especially on the train or like I did in school. Like looking at the Basilisk through reflection in Harry Potter!


...Or Perseus and Medusa.

Once upon a time, I would have thought "oh goody."

Now I don't really care enough to try. Anyone who matters can take me as I am, and the rest can kiss.......

I look them in the mouth - stupid NT's can't seem to tell the difference :lol:


They are actually happier with you if you look them in the mouth. They don't like somebody doing more than glancing at their eyes occassionally during a conversation.

In fact, in some non-Western cultures it is considered rude to make eye contact unless you know the person well.
