They miss so many amazing things by not looking around them, are they scared to make eye contact or what? It's not gonna kill them!
And then there are those people who walk and stare at the ground but as you get close they take out their cellphone and mp3, always changing songs or getting a text when passing someone, always! It's like nobody has the courage to look at another human in the eyes nowadays, or something. -- http://img.imgcake.com/cosplaygifer.gif http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TORtanic ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe they look up the rest of the time but you only see them looking down because they don't want to have to look at you.

If I don't look sort of down I'll trip over junk

I have weird ankles. I tend to trip completely randomly. Heck, I trip less the rougher the terrain is. So I actually have to focus somewhat on walking, it's annoying.

I can see where you coming from, and a friend of mine actually had sort of a thing recently where he was talking about how complimenting random chicks isn't creepy, and I support that kind of idea, though it is a bit out there.
But yeah, as for making eye contact with random people when walking around, I mean I don't make the rules it is slightly weird isn't it? You look at them, they look away, vice versa, it is an interesting phenomenon. I have no idea. -- One Piece: Pirates with style! -= Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage Action =- ...

Well I don't know, I just look at the people I pass it's not my goal to make eye contact with them.
When they do look at me though I just smile and nod with the occasional '' hello ''. It's kinda because of my retail job, got used to smile and greet people and I guess it stuck.

It is actually kind of an interesting subject I think. For example when buying something at the cash register, there have been times where I never made eye contact with the person, and in hindsight that does seem weird. I guess I make eye contact once or twice with clerks usually. Ha, really, what's "normal" is something we worry to much about I guess. I'm gonna stare at everybody now.

Well if he/she glances at the same time eye contact happens!

I live in a small town and work in the downtown area. When I'm walking around I usually don't mind giving a smile and at least a nod, if not a "good morning" or such. Aside from the more timid people, I usually get likewise responses.

I used to look at the ground while walking, but at some point I realized that looking up is better. Looks more confident.
I also love eyes. Like really. They're the only part of myself I'm proud of. And if I'm talking to someone I'm usually looking at their eyes, even if they aren't looking back... I don't know. Of course, if I'm walking on the street, I guess I might say hi but the eye contact would be fleeting and it wouldn't really matter. -- ~Halo Everybody run! http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6195/furriese.jpg ...
