Alan L asked in Social ScienceSociology · 1 decade ago

Is there a name for this?

I don't like looking people in the eyes or looking in their direction when somebodies talking to me, mainly with my parents, relatives, etc. I have no problem with talking to my friends since i can openly laugh to them. But when talking prolonged conversations with said people, i tend to look at something blankly, or do something else.

    although that was a minor sign of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), we can rule out that disorder. you see people with ADHD cannot look at people in the eyes for a long time especially during long conversations. however, staring blankly at something is a sign of focus, ADHD cannot concentrate on one thing and so we can rule that out. for your concern, on the other hand, i think there's nothing wrong with your current situation, as long as it is not intervening your social life then nothing is wrong with it. enjoy and have fun!

    i hope this helps, love lots! :)
