When talking to someone do you look straight on his face? email this discussion to a friend?

I don't feel comfortable if the person who talks to me is not looking straight on my face. But I have an officemate who is like that. It is either he is shy blush or what but certainly I don't enjoy talking with him because he can't maintain eye contact.The problem is he always go to me to ask for some assistance on paper works but I feel really bored talking to him because while I am making instructions, he can't keep his eyes on my face. yawn He would move his eyes to other direction from time to time and that distracts me really. I don't think I am ugly that she can't look on my face [em]lol[/em. I don't think I am very strict either that he feels so aloof. In fact, modesty aside, I am the most amiable and cheerful person in our office. lol How about you,do you enjoy conversing with someone who can't look straight on your face or do you look straight on the face/eyes when talking to anyone. Just asking your opinion so I could get ideas why that guy can't do! Thanks!

I'm weird about eye contact, really. I rarely look people in the face because at least at work, as a cashier, no one looks me in the eye. It's weird. But by not looking people in eye, it's not as.. official. I can't explain it. But sometimes I feel UNCOMFORTABLE if someone DOES look me in the eye.*shrugs*.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Now I understand, there really are people like him who is born that way. Your post made me realized I have to understand that man if he can't really look straight on my face. Thanks dear for your contribution. It enlightened me!happy

I feel the same way as yours. So don't do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you.

Well, it all depends i think?
If we're having a serious discussion or lovely dovey talk, I will definitey look into their eyes because it proposes my sincerity towards that person, If the conversation is a lax one, its perfectly not to look into the person eyes.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Well I understand your point. I am talking about a serious conversation here which requires attention and must really be face to face. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day!

Well I always make sure that I do look into the eyes of the one I am talking to. It certainly show how serious I am with what I am saying. It is really annoying to talk to those who can't manage to look into whom they are talking to. You can't see whether they are sincere or not.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Yes, it is good to look on the eyes of the person. I think it really needful. At any rate there is no reason why we should avoid eye contact unless we have done something really shameful. Thanks for sharing dear!

It is impolite to talk to a person with roving eyes. I would not deal business with people with that sort of character. A person of this nature is untrustworthy and it shows that he has hidden agenda and cunning. Since I am more on public relation and deal a lot with the public, I can certainly make out which person I can trust and which I don't. Body language and style of communication have a lot of bearing in a person. I was at a meeting the other day when out of the blue one of the director of the company say to me that I am a 'strong woman'. That makes think for a while why he said it. Then I realized that when I talk I look straight on to his eyes. lollol


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Yes you are right, it really feels like the person is impolite so I am really distracted when a person behaves that way when talking to me. Talking straight on the eyes gives a person some kind of strength. It makes her look confident and sincere in her dealings. That director is right in saying you are a strong woman! Anyone who is public relation should deal that way.

I usually look at the face and maintain eye contact with people I talk to. It is being polite doing that. It is showing the other person that you are listening to him. It shows that you are ready to respond to whatever he wants to impart. It is telling him that you are interested in the conversation.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Yes, you are right. Looking on the eyes also means you are interested with the conversation and it is also a sign of politeness. I'm glad you have this good attitude too. Thanks for sharing!happy

If i am talking with friends and co-workers,i always like to stare on their faces and eyes.But never with a stranger.

There are really people who are too shy to look at us,even if we worked with them for years.
They seems aloof and distant,i guess it is their nature already,unless he got a crush on you(uhmm,kidding... happy)


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Oh yes maybe he has a crush on me!lol Well just joking also! I think he must be just shy really and sometimes I wanna ask what is he shy about. happy Well come to think of it, maybe one of this days I will ask him directly if he has a crush on me. lol


myLot reputation of 100/100. jaiho2009 (1237)   ranked 5,978 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

oh yeah,why not dear,ask him directly and let me know his reaction(weiii..giggles)wink

No I'm shy I never look someone i the face unless they are good friends, or it is a serious situation.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

There is nothing to be shy about looking at the face of course. Unless you are really that timid and shy person which maybe I will understand happy. But this person has long been working with me so I don't understand what is the reason.

I don't like it my husband can't look at me when talking to me also.
I like for someone when talking to me to look at my face and have eye contact.
But my husband seems to not be able to do that.
It aggrevates me so much.
If you get this answer to this I would like to know also lol.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Well cheating husband can be caught through their eyes. If they can't look straight to your eyes when being asked where he has been and why he was late the night before then vigilant my dear. Chances are, he is playing around with someone else!lol Well, I hope not though!


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

I mean be vigilant! Be watchful and look at his every action and sooner or later, you will catch him!lol

Hey its a need to see peoples eye when we speak to them for two main reasons.
* It really express our feelings when you fail in words
* It tells to other that you speak only the truth


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (4597)   ranked 1,303 out of 35,093 in people  4 weeks ago

Yes you are right dear! Thanks for your input and by the way you've a very cute baby in your Avatar. I love the smile! Nice one!wink
