Have you ever noticed that?
we couldnt look in the other persons eyes
and our body language tends to be different
why does that happen
why do we tend to get uncomfortable when we meet new people
Answer:
Every time you meet someone new you are assessing each other. You're instantly processing information on looks, style of dress, indications of education (vocabulary, diction, etc). Depending on the setting it could also be a social class or social status criteria. You don't know anything about each other so you're making immediate assumptions, but you worry you may make the wrong ones and embarrass yourself. Remember, the other person is also undergoing this. It's natural to feel on-guard with someone until you develop a sense of rapport--the easiness that comes when you realize you have something in common. For many people it is because they are shy or just naturally quiet as opposed to gregarious. They may be thought of as snobs and even sometimes as not too bright. Some people think others are judging them based on their own feelings which may be warped (e.g. you think you're dull with nothing interesting to say when everyone else likes your sense of humor). Personally I've found it uncomfortable when I meet someone new and they stare me in the eye until I feel I have to look away. It's an intimidating gesture and can even be perceived as hostile if the person invades your personal space. You don't want to look all around the room, never making eye contact, but a glance away or shifting your eyes to their mouth is acceptable. Just not below the neck if it's a woman! It's easy to say just be yourself, but when you are in a situation where you're meeting new people just tell yourself that you have a lot to offer and they'll be lucky to know you. Just don't have a cocky attitude while doing it!
Not all of us do, it just means your shy
I've never met a stranger.
i don't when i meet new people, i don't normally have a problem with being outgoing and looking them in the eyes.you're just a little shy. open up!
remember that not all react that certain way, but i do at times, i shy away, stay quite, but i suppose it all goes with the personality, u tell me
Its just that "awkward phase" as i call it. Then after a few more meetings it becomes more comfortable!
I feel because of the whole first impression thing. When I walk past people I don't usually look them in the eye or pay much attention to them. I do, however pay attention to my surroundings, if that makes any sense. It's not like you acting different but being so self conscious. I personally don't feel uncomfortable anymore. I've gotten over that aspect about myself. It's probably a personality thing now that I think about it. Duh.
that usually happens with me if i happen to like the person. if it's just some random person, i'm usually out going and i do look at them in the eyes. u might just be shy, it's nothing much, your all good. =]
Lots of time when we meet new people we tend to become intimidated ,maybe they think they are better or smarter than I am, or whatever we may think it is also probably because there is that moment of you don't know anything about me so they get a chance to get their bluff in that they are perfect. A tip that will be helpful for u is to remember that when you are meeting someone never look away , if someone looks away let them be the first one but looking away immediately shows that you feel slightly inferior by them.
Because we don't know them- it's just human nature to be more comfortable around people you know than those you don't. The apprehension of not knowing what to expect gets the best of us and we exhibit that through those first awkward, tense moments upon meeting someone.
its not that we become uncomfortable when we meet/see new people in life. its all vis-a-vis response. The behaviour we expect and dont get so we become uncomfortable.
And since we dont like someone to see him/her its not question to see in his/her eyes.
To have situation comfortable we need to behave nice so that he/she also behave same in response.and can have comfortable climate for any good relationship.
All the very best ,,,,
