when yall are hanging out watching TV or something



I started thinking about it because I sometimes hang out with a friend of a friend and when he shows us crap, like a show or a youtube video, hes CONSTANTLY looking over at us, like every 3 seconds. It starts getting distracting and annoying just seeing him turn his head over at us so much through the corner of my eye


then I hung out with another friend and we started watching her Simpsons DVD and I started noticing we occasionally look over at each other when a joke comes up or when we quote the show correctly

I feel weird being aware of this now
Is it something you consciously think about?

Do you notice you do this at all?


obviously I'm thinking way too hard about this but its a very little thing that I think most of us do that none of us really pay attention to. I'm kinda amazed by it

If I'm showing something to others, their reaction is part of the reason I did so yeah.

Three seconds sounds kind of exaggerated though

I do the thing you're talking about all the time.

Or at least I did. I dunno that I do it now because I rarely watch stuff with other people anymore.

Normally rarely, but definitely more often if I'm showing someone something.

this - but it makes me feel awkward as hell if it doesn't resonate the same way, so i don't really show stuff to people in person anymore - prefer to do so over chat, etc. i also don't really like it when people show me videos, etc. in person.

The entire reason to show something you like to someone is to see their reaction. Humans use facial expressions a lot in their reactions.

It's normal human behavior and honestly, nothing to be ashamed of.

It's also normal human behavior to be distracted by someone constantly turning to look at you to judge your expression, too.

I know a guy who did this all the time back when I lived in Tampa Bay. He'd laugh at everything he perceives as funny, then turn back and stare at everyone else, eyes wide with hope that we'll laugh too, fear that we might not. Got to a point, everyone in my friends group was constantly remarking about it behind his back, so one day I told him how weird it is. He said he didn't even notice he was doing it, which, eh, seems far-fetched given he does it every twenty frakking seconds, but shrug.

I mostly do it to make sure the friend/person I'm with is actually watching and not on their fuckin phone because my biggest pet peeve in the world is when I'm showing someone a tv show or movie and they sit on their phone the whole time not watching


So yea I guess

ugh this x100

I have noticed there's people who, even if they really like whatever they're watching, they're still checking their phone every couple minutes and it drives me up the wall.

Not currently, no. Took a job offer down in Nebraska. The contract has just about wrapped, though, so I'll be leaving soon.

...This describes me a little too close. Though, I hope I don't do it every 20 seconds!
