Do you make eye contact when you talk 2 ppl?

Question

I know someone who said one of her quirks was she can never make eye contact when she talks to someone, she says it's weird, she can't help it.
I find that sometimes when I'm having a conversation, I'll make eye contact the whole time, but it seems that some people get flustered when you do that, like you're staring at them, even though they're talking to you.
How about you?

Answer 2

Yes, always make eye contact, but not constantly! The trick is to occasionally glance at other things while in conversation. If you stare at someone while talking, they will get a creepy, uncomfortable feeling and think something is wrong with you; and the same is true when someone does not ever look others in the eye, while talking with them. I've discovered through the years, that people who stare too much or that never look at someone in the eye, are the ones that people eventually avoid! We think something is wrong with them!! ( Take this as a little bit of advice )!!

Answer 3

As a general rule, people don't usually make continual eye contact unless the person wants to make a statement that requires specific attention. Most people will look about during casual conversation. Most people do not like continual direct eye contact because it tends to be too intrusive. I suppose it may be caused by the parental statement of "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" We understand that to look in the eyes of the talker is to gather every sense of the communication. It would be why most people look into each other eyes during intimate, romantic conversations.

Answer 4

It depends upon the situation.
I usually prefer to make and keep eye contact, however this often causes some people to feel very uncomfortable.

As a general rule of thumb, especially since I get more feedback to what I am saying if I keep eye contact, I try to make and keep as much eye contact as possible. If necessary, I will avoid constant eye contact and just "touch base" whenever it becomes necessary or important to do so.

Answer 5

Most people will respect and remember you most just from eye contact and the conversation as you get older.Starting with a good feeling with people can lead to that person being your boss one day.

Answer 6

Its hard for me to, so I always make it a point to look people in the eye. Just not throughout the whole conversation, nobody likes a fixed stare.

Answer 7

I kind of go back and forth. Like I don't never make eye contact, but I don't do it through the entire conversation. And I feel annoyed when peopl do it me. I feel like they're super anaylyzing me, trying to look in my soul or something. Yeah I know, that sounds weird.

Answer 8

yes, it's a matter of confidence, focus, or a mix of them

i make eye contact, but i also found that it unnerves people, so i usually look away every now and then

there's an easy way to improve on this, just make eye contact with yourself in the mirror and keep it as long as possible. it's an easy training that actually improves your confidence

just hope that your reflection doesn't wink when you don't

Answer 9

I make eye contact most of the time, but glance away for a second or two once in a while.

Answer 10

Looking constantly in to the eyes of a person leads to eye strain and also gives impression as if you are staring.So take a break and avoid looking constantly and instead look at a convenient direction.

Answer 11

I used to, but all the years my husband and I have been married, when we have an argument, he gets right in my face and screams at me for making eye contact. So now I am too self conscious about it and don't do it.
