Why do people find eye contact so hard outside contexts of guilt? Always just seemed a part of polite conversation to make eye contact with someone.

It's sensory overload for people on the spectrum. Instant distress.

 

[Theodora]

I mean I figured the autism correlation with it, I just never got why. Sensory overload because of like ... having to try to interpret a bunch of body language?

There's a lot of visual information within the eyes.

The codex dream. Talking to a beautiful woman about RPGs with her making these faces. @ 3:12 you can tell it was a joke about Sawyer.

too busy staring at the void or tiddies.

In civilized cultures prolonged eye contact is considered rude

Imagine you found out Sukhāvatī was actually a qigong-loving blonde who looked like this:

You'd be ashamed of your words & deeds

Brunettes>blondes

Outside autism, people tend to freak out over eye contact more when they feel guilty about something.

 

[Dadd]

There's a huge difference between "freaking out" and being uncomfortable. People rarely "freak out" over eye contact.

We should start a codex dating program.

Dadd I was being a bit hyperbolic, but a willingness to meet eye contact is sometimes interpreted as a sign of "innocence". But of course, this is nonsense and meaningless if you don't know someone's baseline behaviour to begin with.

Have you a plan to invoke a mass coming-out event?

If you get *really* good at eye contact, you can make pretty much anyone freak out. Especially strangers.

Too bad it's not the 80's anymore and we can't all go on the Phil Donahue Show.

Also another anecdote, Yukio Mishima cured himself of his shyness by staring strangers out on the train. Particularly not recommended today of course

 

[Late Bloomer]

Negroes think you are looking for a fight if you make eye contact. They are very insecure.

Dogs may also interpret eye contact as aggression (though not in every context).

Dream? I always get reactions like 0:20 - 0:35 whenever I bring up my dual katana wielding drow gish with a dark secret and edgy past.

Sometimes if they're really nice, I'll bring up my level 70 gnome illusionist. Bitches love the gnome illusionist.

the concept of this thread is forever-alone inceldom and everyone supporting it needs to set aside their keyboard and go outside for the next year+

it’s logarithmic cringe, above and beyond the most advance reddit-tier cringe known to mankind

My condolences to you for having to go through this

My condolences also go out to bongs for having to deal with so many non whites since bongs are terrible enough already

As a lifelong eye contact avoider most people don't seem to find it that impolite in practice as long as you glance at their face every so often during conversation. Although if they are uncomfortable you have spared yourself the bother of noticing it by not looking at them properly so it works out regardless.

I'm a girl tee hee :3

Plane tickets, bitch!

Oh, for sure. I don't really care if someone isn't willing to make eye contact with me, I guess I've just been conditioned into feeling rude or something if I'm not doing so myself at least half the time.
