We're like the only nation on earth where people purposely avoid eye contact with each other. It really weirds foreigners out actually lmao. It gives me major Autism feels.


Also there are other things that make us seem autistic, such as the rest of our history and culture.

inability to maintain eye-contact is actually a symptom linked directly to constant masturbation and/or low self-esteem

my new supervisor i've met twice and neither time he would look at me in the eye, he would like look up and to the right the entire time. literally the entire time. the first time was me and a few other people so i thought maybe he was nervous in a group but the second time it was just me and him and he did the same thing. also he was playing with his fly while he talked to me. lmao

The Enteroctopus dofleini, also known as the giant Pacific octopus (GPO) or North Pacific giant octopus, is a large marine cephalopod belonging to the phylum Mollusca and is tripping balls.
Pretty much the entirety of Scandinavia avoids eye contact too.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
I love eye contact, especially when it provokes mentally unstable homeless people into attacking me.

One day you people are going to come to the conclusion that demanding strangers make eye contact with you is a sign of autism not visa versa and your fragile little worlds we be shattered.

There was this one kid I went to high school with that was the most outgoing person I have ever met. He chatted with everyone, was super friendly, remembered people's names, remembered birthdays, and remebered other little things about people. He was also extremely autistic.

The difference between him and you people, is that I am pretty sure he knew he was a little screwy. You people don't seem to have that level of self awareness.

If America is a country of God-fearing, freedom loving autists then I say we redefine the word "retard" to mean anyone who isn't autistic.

In the natural world animals treat making eye contact the same as making an aggressive threat so I don't know why the gently caress humans outright demand it
