4 Ways How To Avoid Eye Contact With Strangers

ADVERTISEMENT

Lauren from Iguana Mouth has created an introvert survival guide which shows how to avoid eye contact with strangers. Even Carl Jung (a German psychoanalyst who came up with the term) would approve.

The first steps are quite simple and include things like pretending to text and faking a cough, but in some cases they turn out to be ineffective, so Lauren has a few more… radical ideas. If you love this comic, check out a list of introvert cartoons that Bored Panda has compiled earlier.

Aw don't avoid eye contact. Wave and smile. You'll either confuse the heck out of someone or make their day! Either way, you win.

Awkwardly look at the sky as if something really unusual just flew overhead.

I've been known to practice 1 and 2. Often. Maybe always...

I avoid eye contact with familiar strangers, strangers that meet a lot. Seems I should say Hi, but I don't want further conversation.
