I donât think is anything to do with weakness. If somebody will not look you right in the eye when theyâre talking to you, they are either just plain rude, theyâre autistic, OR theyâre lying to you, and they know that theyâre lying to you, and they know that you likely know that they know that theyâre lying to you⊠THATâS why they wonât look you right in the eye. (unless, like I said theyâre autistic! In which case, awww poor thing, he tries so hard, but he just doesnât get normal inter-personal behavior.).
The percentage of autism in the world these days is pretty high. Having worked with the disabled for decades, I know this is not a weakness nor bad. It doesnât make a person less intelligent nor friendly. Some people are just trying to get through their day. I think âslight disabilityâ before I think ârudeâ.
I don't like to view it as a weakness or a strength thing. I just would have a hard time trusting them depending on what other vibes they're giving off. But if they weren't giving off and untrustworthy vibes, then I'd think they're kinda like me. I have a hard time thinking when looking into someone's eyes.
I wouldn't say weak, but certainly a sign of interpersonal and intrapersonal issues. Probably self esteem and confidence issues. It can also be a sign of dishonesty.
Or maybe the other person has a really ugly mug and they just can stand to look at them 🤣

A lot of people do this. Sometimes eye contact is overrated. Iâm thinking of all the wonderful discussions Iâve had with people over the years while sitting side by side, watching our children play, or fishing, or sitting around a campfire. For me itâs more peaceful to talk WITH someone rather than AT someone. This canât always be the case of course, but no, itâs not weakness or a bad sign in my opinion.
Donât look me in my eyes when you talk to me peasant. Iâm the queen.
nah. I personally wouldnât take offence. Some people just donât make eye contact and thatâs perfectly fine.
s I don't see it as a weakness, and there could be many reasons as to why people would do this... I should know well, since I've been on both sides... growing up as a painfully shy kid through my childhood and for pretty much half of my life, and now being absolutely confident and comfortable with myself and others
now, I like staring/gaze contests... and I've never lost one yet, I can also -not blink- for the longest time
Watching them talk distracts from hearing them talk, in my opinion.
I don't think it's a bad sign or a weakness. I think it happens unintentionally to people. I'm guilty of not always making eye contact when I talk to people or when they talk to me. But now I should really try to make more of a conscious effort to look people in the eyes when I'm talking to them
It's disconcerting but it could be due to mental illness/personality disorder. I know about this stuff but anyone who doesn't will see you as weak or untrustworthy.
Here's an interesting thing to try. When someone is talking to you avoid eye contact completely and see how long it takes them to trail off.
One tip I heard for maintaining eye contact is if you look at the bridge of their nose they will think you still have eye contact.
It is a sign of not paying attention or not listening.
I don't see it as a bad sign as such but I would think at best they are not interested in getting to know you
s I don't think it's a sign of weakness but it's strange. We can't always make eye contact but if someone I'm talking with doesn't look at me, I started wondering if they got a problem with me.
I dont like looking into each others eyes for long unless weâre having a romantic moment and professing our love. Otherwise i break eyecontact quickly
No. Too much gazing can come across as aggressive or an attempt to dominate.
Got a magnetic and deep stare... they get nervous and scared
but generally yeah its a sign of weakness and vulnerability to me...
It is a common sign of autism. I don't think it necessarily shows weakness. But def not strength.
Some people get scared cause I hold my gazes for such a long time
Depends. If we're talking and neither one of us are working, then you should look at me as we talk.
It means the person doesn't fear me and this is a mistake.
No i dont see it as a bad sign
Well a little bit yes
I have anxiety, so I get it
You could be shy thats all
