Why do Some People Get "Crazy Eyes"?

You speak the truth! I did not realize the scope of this job when I signed on! It’s a good thing there are six of us now!

I’m stressed much of the time. My anxiety when I’m out in public certainly affects my facial expression, including my eyes. I have to make an effort to relax my face…
I’ve seen pictures of myself with what would have to be called “crazy eyes” and then other pictures my eyes look okay… ?

I am not sure about the one squinty eye but I do notice I have a tendency every now and again to close my right eye. Whether it is just an odd quirk I don’t know.

In my opinion some meds can give you crazy eyes or crazy face depending on which ones you take. Anxiety gives people crazy eyes and so does depression. I would imagine that if you’re hearing voices ones eyes might look crazy too. It’s funny because when I’m in the midst of an episode people usually have no idea until I open my mouth. But when I’m medicated people can tell.

lol, there are four of you now! so that means there were like just two of you before. my gosh.

before; there were szadmin, rhubot, moonbeam, jayster… more than two… and these are just the ones I can think of, off the bat… probably more…

and then there are the undercover mods. can’t forget about them. just kidding. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t know about squinty or sz eyes; but back when I used to tutor this one kid, he said my voice had a stutter sometimes.
probably wasn’t sz though: that kid was quite intimidatingly smart

We typically lock forum members on TL0 (new user) status to prevent them from initiating PMs. This action is prompted by moderator concerns about that forum members posts. This is meant to be a temporary measure until the Mods see that the concerning behavior has been resolved.

@Sooner88 I’m pretty sure @Rhubot and I explained this to you in a PM a couple days ago, including the specific reasons we were concerned.

If you have questions you can always ask them on that PM.

There are currently four active Mods: @Rhubot @Ninjastar @anon9798425 and me.

@Minnii has told @Rhubot and I that she’s left the forum, but may occasionally check in.

@Jayster has been a Mod for while but is not currently active.

Frankly, I don’t know how @shutterbug managed for so long as pretty much the only Mod, especially with his busy life (full time job, active volunteer in his community, etc). A big thank you to Pixel for his superhero-level Mod skills!

I don’t know if I have “crazy eyes,” but a woman once told me that I have “bedroom eyes.” I guess it’s in the eye of the beholder.

good pun. thanks kindness. I don’t think my eyes are “crazy” but they do look tense often and sleepy.

I was once told by someone from El Salvador that one of my eyes was looking at the other one, and I looked. “Como Un Bwey”. Which means like a steer in headlights in Spanish. I think that’s gone away with time.

I used to have slightly evil eyes. At least I thought so. But it went away quite recently.

My neighbor gets them when he talks about hunting. He’s not MI but do they ever change.

Jack Nicholson has crazy eyes… Even when he plays a ‘nice’ guy, he still has crazy eyes. I look at those eyes and think, yeah, I can see the crazy!

I have a bit of the crazy eyes problem. I’ve isolated my eyes before just to show people. They’re very wide and piercing. Startling, almost. I’ve been told before I have crazy eyes.

I’m surprised I don’t have crazy eyes all the time. There is no organization at all in my head. Happens most when I’m really stressed or trying to think critically about something.

I just look like I’m always zoning out apparently. In lala land. So I guess I have dreamy eyes more than crazy ones.
