90% of the time yes, it's a respect thing. Look at the person your talking too.

I look everybody in the eye and then after awhile I look away and come back. Rinse and repeat.

Unless it's with a special girl. Hold the eye contact for as long as possible for max points.

Most of the time, yes. Only when they intimidate me do I try to avoid eye contact.

I try, but I have trouble sometimes. It's something I need to work at getting better with. If I'm in a very serious mood it's not an issue and I don't even think about it, If I'm stressed or I'm just thinking too much it becomes harder for me to look at people in the eyes when They're/I'm talking. My mind races, and I feel like I'm staring at them in a way that makes me seem crazy or something lol. I'm making it worse by looking away and then looking at them and then looking away though HAHA.

Nah.
I either look at their tits if it's female, or at their penis if it's male.

Same here. I visited the doctor today and she seemed quite intimidating for whatever reason and stared me right in the eye so I had a hard time looking right back lol

Lol I can related to that since I end up doing that as well if I'm really nervous and it's no good.

Depends on people..

But most of the time it's brief anyway.
I think it's enough and is still polite.

Yes, I'm not an otter.
I love Christine

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau

Very rarely, I look At their face, but I usually only make eye contact when someone pisses me off, or when there's a bae.

I'm actually really bad at it. It feels awkward to look at a guy and stare at him for more than a few secs. And girls, I'm too shy. What I do is maintain and break eye contact frequently. So I'll look directly at someone when talking then my eyes will wander off somewhere else for a couple of secs before looking at them again. Seems natural to me

I look at their face during key points in a conversation and if more important I look in their eyes at those moments. I think it would be unnatural and weird to just stare into someone's eyes the whole time.

I don't look directly into their eyes. It's just my nature. I either look somewhere else on their face or do some other activity just so that I won't have to look at them at all.

I stab out their eyes before we talk.
Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my leg... and my arm... even my fingers. The body I've lost... the comrades I've lost... won't stop hurting... It's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you? I'm gonna make them give back our past."

Yeah, If I don't know them otherwise if its a friend I don't really pay attention.
If I'm trying to flirt I might stare as well but that's never worked

Only if I HAVE to, eye contact makes me nervous so I can't hold it more than a couple of seconds at best.

Avoiding eye contact is a sign of low self-esteem; obviously ''locking on'' the eye contact can be extremely creepy, so there should be a natural balance for that.

I look at them while talking to them, simply because I'm taught that that's good manners.

Yeah, I do. Not the intense kind, but the normal kind of eye contact. It's both polite, and makes me able to read the peson I'm talking to better. I also do it because I don't like it when people doesn't do it to me.

Used to be told by my parents that I needed to make eye contact, so nowadays I just fucking stare at people when we talking and never fucking break eye contact.

Yea. Most people do. Not making eye contact is a symptom of autism (I'm not even fucking kidding, guys).

Yea i do even though it makes me uncomfortable after a prolonged period of time. I try not to be a creep so i usually stare away in random intervals if it is just a casual conversation. If it is a formal or more engaging, serious conversation there might be more prolonged eye contact.

Idk i try not to be mechanical about staring at people otherwise you'll just get self conscious or come off as unnatural/nervous
