Do you look at people

I’m too concerned with how I appear to look at normies

I think it’s important, and normies can notice that we don’t really look at them

It makes them confident

Whereas is you observe someone, it makes them a little self conscious, and less confident in themselves.

Hm

I mean really observe them, look at their eyes

Whenever I go on walks I usually just give a slight nod to whoever walks past me.

I pretty much always look at people. Kind of obsessively. I’m always worried I missed someone and they’re going to attack me or something. Sometimes I get scared and feel like I need to remember what sometime looked like and what they’re wearing and that sorry if thing in case something bad happens.

i like to look at people if it is appropriate, most people like it when you look at them (unless they are shy) i think most people like being acknowledged esp if you smile, that is the best kind of affection and can lead to many friendships, i understand though that people may lack the confidence to do that

and if they are not feeling good it is hard to look at anybody and smile, lots of people with mi walk about with their heads down looking at the ground or looking away,

most people with mi wont look anybody directly in the eye, its esp bad when i am symptomatic, i get scared if i look at someone, its intimidating and i start over thinking things.

luckily i haven’t had these symptoms for a while.

I’m pretty good about making eye contact, but then I have plenty of experience in customer service, so it’s not a big deal to have such an interaction.

I don’t pay much attention to really anything around me unless it seems like a threat. I’m heckled a lot for this by the people that know me because I’ll often walk past or right beside someone who’s trying to say hi and not even notice them :joy:

When i talk to someone i end up focusing on their face and their one eye ball

I completely lose focus of the conversation i battle to stare with both my eyes at both their eyes.

Its too hard

I think people are a lot like dogs in this line of body laguage. If someone is watching from a distance, that is one thing.

looking at someone in the face or eyes while with in a close distance means we want something(same for dogs).

The something people ussually want is a couple of lines of conversation. (a small acknowledgement).

If you always find yourself approached by stranger after glancing their way a few seconds to long, they may think you want something.

That something could be any thing: the time, an item from top shelf, your kid ran off and have you seen,em…

If I am frightened, I tend to pay a lot of attention to people in case I have to describe them to the police after I’ve escaped from them. If I’m not scared, I may glance at them and give them a small smile, but I don’t really see them. I can’t describe them, don’t notice anything about their clothes, their ethnicity, or even their gender.

Mostly, I try to ignore people. But, where I live, here in this senior community, the people are so friendly, they won’t let you ignore them.
