What is it wich people and avoiding eye contact, are they hidding something maybe shiness? What is it?Why do people fear to be looked into the eye?
The eyes are the gateway to the soul. When you look into someone's eyes, you are looking past their outer appearance and into the deepest part of them. People fear it because it makes them feel vulnerable and maybe they do have something to hide (maybe its not what you expect). So do not always assume someone is lying when they fear looking you in the eye.Why do people fear to be looked into the eye?
Shy and awkard for me. It is also a sign to keep strangers at their distance and not impose uninvited.


In certain Asian cultures looking down is a form of respect and modesty. Eye to eye contact can be considered rude.
The eyes are the portal to the soul. There is so much you can read from one's eyes that people fear their emotions or what they are hiding.
some lack the confidence, some don't want to reveal who they are, and some just don't know how. mine was lack of confidence but i worked on it in therpy!
because your eyes are the doorway to your soul.
If you are picking a fight with me you may look me in the eye.





If not you have no need to look in my eyes for anything but a quick glance. I just might ask you if you like me and want a kiss or something because you are making a lot of eye contact. If you are male you either want to fight or you are a fag which just might get you in a fight.
Goes back to our monkey heritage.





It's a sign of challenging authority if one looks another in the eye.
Personally i find it hard to look anyone in the eye unless i am having an arguement with them, i think when we look people in the eyes we're allowing them to look into our soul and it can be quiet intimidating for people.
Its not cause of LYING OR ANY OF THAT CRAP. If you want to look at the eye dont you think its akwards when you do it for a long period of more than 5 seconds.





Usually i tried to avoid direct glance into the eye by woman as most of them fall in love with my attractive blue jewish eyes when we have direct eye contact. I want to keep them focus on what we discussing and not to be lost in lust for me.





For men, i have nothing to say except stop staring at me in the eye or you will get your gay ars3 kick!
lol..good question..
usually it is because they are lying..you think humans have a problem with humans you should see how they react to a 220 lb wolf that'll look'em dead in the eye...lol
Well.. avoiding eye contact when YOU are talking to a person is indicative to me that they are not telling the truth or do not want to tell the truth.. Yes, some people say it is shyness, etc but call it what you want.. if a person does NOT look me in the eye when talking to me.. they are not sincere.. period.
To many folks, it's a threat. In some cultures, to stare a person in the face is to invite a punch in the nose - or worse.
Depends on what culture or if it is a man or woman. To some people it's rude to not look at someone in the eye, others think it's rude to look at someone when answering a Q. Don't think it's shyness or lying....think it may be culture.





Eye contact can cause problems in most cultures if you think about it.
The eyes show more emotion than any other part of the body.
Shyness sometimes people just do not want to be bothered.


And all that their lying or the eyes tell you about a person is a lie.


I know people who lie are the main ones who look you dead in your eyes. It depends on the person.
it could be autusim also. being an autustic child, i heard that some autustic childern have trouble looking people in the eye.
Usually they're lieing.
The eye-to-eye creates a quantum well that traps the interspacial light. At a certain distance, a resonant standing wave can be achieved. Energy from the both bodies can be imparted to this system, creating geometric progression of energy. The minimum result is blindness...the worse is a head explosion followed by a miniature black hole creation as your head, your friend, all known life forms, and the earth implodes upon you.





Best advice...just don't do it.
When I was a teenager I could never look a cute guy in the eye. If by some miracle he spoke to me I couldn't look at him for more than a milisecond for fear my heart would stop or I'd pass out or something.





Maybe you're just too damm attractive! lol
It is not out of shyness or fear that one avoids looking into the eye.


It is to avoid any sort of Commitment , we have to avoid eye contact with some people , not all.


For example,


If you look into the person's eyes sitting opposite to you, they will plead for your acceptance with their eyes which is more powerful than verbal request.


So, it depends on the need of the moment/situation
the eyes are the windows to the soul
I see you!!!!!!
good question.i think its creepy if u do it for so long.
I don't really have much to hide - i'm just not used to socializing and that's why i don't look ppl in the eyes; and i'm quite shy
