Does everyone think eye contact is necessary?!
Question:
Does everyone think eye contact is necessary?
I think there is something wrong with me(autism or something)... I naturally dont make eyecontact with people... pointless jibber jabber doesn't catch my attention unless im with people im comfortable with. i heard people say im not a friendly person,slow cuz i can't pay attention my teacher told me im in my "own world"
When I smoke I feel more in touch with my enviornment, my brain recognizes reality and what im doing is different/wrong
Anyone else going thru the same thing
Answers:
Eye contact is uncomfortable for me too. Prolonged contact saps me of my energy, you know the feeling. Eyes being the window to our soul are very powerful body parts and can never be underestimated.
But you can adopt a few seconds fleeting eye contact to show interest in the other party. Especially when they are talking.
When you are the one speaking, it ain't necessary to maintain eye contact though. Occasionally looking at their forehead is helpful though to show you are still engaging in their company.
