I agree with this for the most part.
But, sometimes I have trouble making prolonged eye contact sometimes but not always because I feel insecure. Sometimes, a look can transfer energy that’s very intense, and I’m sensitive to that......that’s all.
Not sure if that makes sense to anyone.
I know where you are coming from..
I kinda meant though when people make almost no eye contact with me.. looking everywhere but my face, I generally feel it's evasive in some way.
Honestly , I don't think I have an intense gaze.. but , maybe I do 🤔😁
I figured that’s what you meant. Agreed, that it can come across as evasive.
Unless, you’re a sensitive type and don’t want people seeing your soul. 🦄

I've noticed since I started developing cataracts that I have difficulty maintaining eye contact with people at work because there is usually too much light at their head level from our LED ceiling fixtures. So there could be a physical reason as well.2 -

I have mixed feelings about it. I understand the desire to hide wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dark circles. I wear makeup. I get it.
And the men gushing. Are they being nice? Trying to ingratiate themselves? Fooled? Are they disappointed if they meet in person?
I agree, I am always afraid to post some filtered weird photo that doesn't look like me because I'd rather look the same in photos and real life. Also, all the filters that have things like longer eyelashes or cat ears...yikes2 -

Hmmmm..
I didn't know that came off as insecure to some people. I'm one of those people that doesn't make much eye contact, but it's because it feels awkward. It's tricky finding the right balance.
I think I'm being misunderstood. I can tell the difference when someone breaks eye contact in normal conversing that is just like a normal pause.
I was talking about those that kinda hide behind their hair etc..
I'll give example.. My old neighbour has a daughter with severe acne, she would not look at anyone except for the odd glance, she is extremely insecure about her skin.. I understand that and lots of people have insecurities about facial features.
Also, depending on what is being discussed I can tell when they are being evasive by the way they look.
I think Nooshi was right in that some have an intense gaze that is awkward to hold.
But that's not me I hope 😁2 -

I do this often. Mostly because I'm shy and my introvert tendencies make me feel vulnerable and most days I don't like my face so you are absolutely right about this.3 -

Your face is truly beautiful 🙂 js1 -
I've known quite a few women over the years who say (and mean) things like, "I hate anyone thinner than me" or "I hate ALL blondes" and so on. Bizarre and definitely insecure.1

It's silly to single out one particular group of people for any one particular reason, just silly.....
It's far easier and far more rational just to hate everybody for no particular reason. *shrug5 -

I have mixed feelings about it. I understand the desire to hide wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dark circles. I wear makeup. I get it.
And the men gushing. Are they being nice? Trying to ingratiate themselves? Fooled? Are they disappointed if they meet in person?

Gushing is over rated I prefer

omg there is a lady on the facebook that does this. I really want to post "You look like an alien" but I don't. She's an older middle aged lady and I'm pretty sure she thinks it makes her look pretty. And sometimes, filters can do just that. But she over does it to the point she looks stupid. And i want to tell her, but I'm not gonna. And its just like here where people comment "gorgeous, stunning" etc. It makes me wonder if those people are thinking the same thing I'm thinking...that she looks stupid and insecure and sad. Her unfiltered picture would be very pretty but shes choosing to go with weird and fake and well, just weird looking. The big eyes, smooth face, faded stuff. Just, No. Please, you are so much more than the weird big eyed alien you portray yourself to be. So, I'm a fan of filters...but not unbelievably inhuman but YOU think you look better than reality filters. Those are a no.
\edit to add....the sad part is that they are attractive but they don't think they are without the crazy weird inhuman looking filters, and that is unfortunate.4
