Topic: accidental eye contact with strangers

Anonymous A started this discussion 10 years ago #48,568

How should you react when you get a smile from a stranger? I tend to smile back but look away as the eye contact creeps me out a little bit. It is difficult to see what others do just by people watching, but I assume this is normal.

Yep, that's the correct procedure. Obligatory smile back, then break eye contact.
