I’m not here making some value statement about the importance of eye contact or whatever, for the record. do what u want, lots of people don’t like direct eye contact, it could well be enought to look generally at people’s faces most of the time, and it’s a pretty intricate social tool, I’d argue. I’m not qualified to give complicated eye contact takes

Thoughts?

    Eye contact is wayyyy too intimate to me. I only do it with people I’m really comfortable with, which is almost exclusively someone I am dating. While I hate eye contact in general, I love it during sex. Without it, I feel like half of the sex is missing. Am I weird? Am I the only one that is like that?

      I’m not like that but that doesn’t make you weird.

      I find even a little brief eye contact between periods of looking elsewhere can be a good tool.
