I make it a point to try and make eye contact with other shoppers when I go grocery shopping. I shop here a sort of rust belt past it's prime factory town, and in a nearby much more affluent, liberal and culturally diverse college town.
I can get all the way through my trip without anyone returning eye contact here, that hasn't happened yet in the college town.
I've also noticed the shorter my hair is, the better I'm groomed, the better I'm dressed, and the more closely I'm shaven...the more eye contact I get, and the more conversations I end up in.

That's interesting about the differences in the type of people who will make eye contact with you based on your appearance and the cultural variances from one type of area and another.

Hi Debs....
Liked that video.
I think shyness plays a part in some of us. To look directly into one's eyes and hold that gaze for a few minutes, I find quite difficult. When I am out and about, and can only speak for myself, and am on a mission, I rarely look into people's eyes. Also, there are some ethnicities who find it offensive to look into directly into a stranger's eyes. I think we have to take that into account too.
When I am speaking directly to someone, I do look directly at them, particularly their eyes, so I am clearly understood.
Also, if there is mutual attraction, and a gaze is held, it kinda hits deep within....almost too powerful....and I have to look away, though smiling....simply because he "hit the spot"....

Hiya Berry and thank you for your great post.
The video with strangers was interesting...you could see obvious signs of discomfort but there appeared to be something much deeper going on too. That's what intrigued me the most...the soul searching when the individuals made an effort to "see". Shyness or other feelings of possibly overstepping some boundary does seem to hinder wanting to make eye contact perhaps. I'm a shy one as well but like you, I feel it's important to make eye contact when speaking to people. It seems that most people I'm seeing out and about are fixated on the cell phones and eye contact is becoming a thing of the past.
The mutual attraction thing....oh yeah.

Shall we try a little experiment of our own.
Next time we're out and about, when the wheelie bin goes out....
let's make a point of looking directly into a stranger's eyes and smiling and see what response we get.....maybe even say hi....why should that be so difficult?....and we'll report back. I'm usually the one who looks everywhere else but the eyes, if I have things to do, but I'm going to try it....we may be pleasantly surprised.

I never look into someone's eyes especially when I'm out and about. If someone is walking in the opposite direction that I'm walking I make a point of not looking at them at all. I feel they will take my "look" as a challenge. I don't look at people when I'm driving for the same reason.
However, I am observant of who is around me.
If I know someone well I feel it is respectful to look directly at them when we are talking. Nowadays, people are looking down at their cell phones and talking to someone at the same time.

‘I See You’ is a short film that explores the power of real human connection. As eye contact becomes a rare occurrence in the digital world we wanted to shed light on a culture starved of presence.
We watched 10 strangers make eye contact and silently acknowledge one another for 5 minutes. The results were uncontrollable; uncomfortable laughter, uncontrollable smiling, the pursing of lips, fidgeting of hands, tears.
Are we losing the human connection? Discuss please. This is also a picture thread.
