I'm not here making some value statement about the importance of eye contact or whatever, for the record. do what u want, lots of people don't like direct eye contact, it could well be enought to look generally at people's faces most of the time, and it's a pretty intricate social tool, I'd argue. I'm not qualified to give complicated eye contact takes

@can Is spending three to ten seconds to write a text reply to a text message supposed to work me up? You really are a retarded faggot if that's what you believe, and how you react in your life (since it's obvious that you're projecting).
