  • Something really neat that I’ve noticed is that nobody can actually tell if you are making eye contact with them if you never make eye contact with them to begin with, but also aren’t looking around their face or past them.

    I watch people’s mouths when they talk (and look random directions when I talk) because it helps me process what they are saying, never eye contact cuz it’s very uncomfortable and that makes processing slower. I’ve asked many people over the years for my own knowledge because I often hear how important eye contact is, but nobody I’ve asked has realized it wasn’t eye contact. At arms length, it’s pretty indistinguishable.

    So mask if you want to, but apparently you don’t really have to if you’d rather just be yourself.
