What does it mean when you answer someone an aquaintance,?

Question

but do not look into their eyes???...You look at their mouth...because you are more comfortable...I find I can think better then. Some people TRY TO BE INTIMIDATING....

Answer 1

Direct eye contact can be intimidating and can make some people very uncomfortable.  I work with individuals on the autism spectrum and eye contact is extremely hard for them, due to the intense social interaction it really is.

My advice...glance toward the person's eyes as often as you are comfortable with while talking.  You don't really have to make direct eye contact for long stretches in a conversation if you are not comfortable.

Good luck.

Answer 2

maybe they're being direct, not intimidating and you're being a bit paranoid.  what's to fear?  look people in the eye and hold it longer than they do.  that's control.
