Betrayal rarely comes from our enemies.

Are internet friends real or merely strangers. It's better to have internet friends that bolster you UP than those who look you directly in the eye and betray you behind your back.

Good point.

However, I prefer to look people directly in their eyes to understand if they're coming from a place of genuine thoughts and feelings.

Words are only words - emotions can't be seen/felt.

Plus, you can make contact
and see what their intentions are.

Eye contact.

'There is no connection between lying and the amount of eye contact between the liar and the target of the lie. In fact, research demonstrates that liars maintain more deliberate eye contact than do truthful people.'

The best liars I know look you directly in the eye and never flinch.

On the other hand, I think it is possible to genuinely emote with words. Poetry comes to mind. Many a forum post here too.

Also, a sociopath can look you dead in your eyes while bonding with you and instilling what you may perceive as trust. Alas, it's based in falsehood.

Welp, Happy Monday morning to you all! 😭

Northern Exposure was an enjoyable show for me. I like when the Northern Exposure is shown. The Southern Exposure as well.
