I do mainly because I'm curious of my surroundings and the worst that me looking at someone can do is make someone feel a bit awkward.

Worst thing that can happen where I live is that they take offence and beat you up.

[–]Known_Ideal -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah if someone is in my direct vicinity I would do the same thing.

I have been but I think it is kinda pointless and can make you look creepy, if you catch someone’s eye then smile and keep moving. I wouldn’t look at everyone you walk past it just seems weird to me.
[–]zzwyb89 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Yes, this. I struggle with this.

What do you mean you don't know how it works?
[–][deleted] 15 points16 points17 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No
[–]TacoTruk97 14 points15 points16 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I do but I only do so when I feel someone is looking in my direction. I feel like it happens a little too much for comfort. But then I wonder if I’m just paranoid and people only look in my direction cause I’m looking at them for the same reason. What I’ve done to aid this is look over people, like I’m spotting someone in a crowd. This works wonders if you want people to move out of the way, I guess the body language communicates well to others.

I always walk with a sense of purpose, aware of my surroundings and where I’m at. So, yes I make eye contact and smile or nod.
[–]MrCrestfallen 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I do the exact same thing
[–]wzd_cracks 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
No . I only do eye contact when I’m talking to someone.
[–]Aerial_penguin -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Really??
[–]ExquisiteGrowth 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I do it out of habit now, I feel like you gauge where the person is mentally just by a little glance. I don’t stare, I just look long enough.
Edit: typo
[–]brandonmadeit 11 points12 points13 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
When you do this you realize that most people avoid eye contact and will look down. Funny actually, which is why learning how to maintain strong eye contact is important, displays confidence and asserts dominance
[–]RevolutionaryPeak550 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hell no
[–]duvetdave 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Broooo are you guys the ones that are always looking at me as I walk pass them???!!!🤨I always look ahead but never as they walk directly past me.

For a while I would make eye contact with every single hot girl I walked past on campus while it was busy between classes.
To me it was experimenting with vibration and seeing if that concept is actually a real thing. I shit you not, some days every SINGLE girl looked at me. I felt their eyes and just softly gazed back, lacking intention and admiring beauty. I think that’s the key to not being creepy. And then on some days when I did feel low vibe, I would look around to see if the same thing was happening. Not a single girl would look at me some days.
It’s honestly bizarre how that works. Some days, every. Single. One. tried to not just glance at me, but hold eye contact with a certain look of femininity. Other days, none. Polar opposite results, with the only real variable changing was what state of consciousness I was in. There were some days when I’d have a shitty outfit on that made me look bummy, and I didn’t expect anyone to look at me, but every single one did. Some days I had a fire ass outfit on and expected the eyes, but not a single one. I’m still fascinated by this
[–]Aerial_penguin 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I think believe it or not if you don't Jerk off you get more girls looking at u
[–]Business-Purpose-724 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
For sure, but during that whole experience I wasn’t jerking off so that wasn’t the variable. I think it’s bc you have a clean conscience and have peace and self love radiating off you. When you’re looking at everyone with love and adoration for their existence I think people can feel that, and there’s nothing needy or creepy about it
[–]PeachyKeen1987 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No I do not, especially if I'm off in thought. But if I do happen to make eye contact, I always always smile at them politely. I can't not lol
[–]KingBlackfyre 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Nooooooo, you have to Not make eye contact with people you walk past its so much better
[–]Aerial_penguin 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait what why
[–]stealthc4 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
What? No please don't do that
[–]Aerial_penguin 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Why?,
[–]stealthc4 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Well most other people aren't going to be attempting to make eye contact with you, so you'll come off super weird if you are trying to like, stare down everyone. Of you natural eye contact, like you both look at each other; cool maintain the eye contact and say hi or whatever, but so many people are just going to want to.stay in their own little bubble
[–]Aerial_penguin 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Oh ye I meant natural eye contact lol
[–]stealthc4 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Ah gotcha! I was picturing someone just walking and staring at everyone walkjgn by, just waiting for them to get uncomfortable enough to look up, thereby catching eye contact
[–]Aerial_penguin 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lmaooo no
[–]Outrageous_Length639 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
In the context of your post that is far from obvious
[–][deleted] 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Thank u lol
[–]awakened_celestial -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I look them up and down and see every inch of their body without them noticing. And it doesn’t require direct eye contact either
[–]BagEmpty6931 -2 points-1 points0 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes I do.
[–]Illuminiator -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Eye contact with a smile makes you look confident and a demand for respect. Try it and see the reaction you get from people - it’ll Do wonders
[–]The_iron_mill -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hell yeah. Even throw in a smile if our eyes meet.
[–]Resilience076 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No. Unless its someone I walk past on a regular basis and happens to be a good looking woman.
[–]Ikem32 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]ELfirou 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]FaithInStrangers94 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Only when I’m in a sociable mood which is about 20% of the time otherwise I’m just listening to music and lost in thought
