When you guys are with your guy friends, do you find that sometimes you have a stare off when it comes to certain people?

I find it autistic when someone tries to display dominance by trying their best to not break eye contact like at all when talking to you. Usually i’ll purposely break eye contact by looking to the side for a second with a smirk, still being attentive then looking back. If im the speaker, ill usually give eye contact when articulating a thought, look away (never down) briefly when articulating something in my head, then look back.

How do you guys handle it?
