The funny thing is I just saw this happen in the most akward way! I just got back from hawii, and my family and I stayed at a high rise condo place. To get to our place you have to take the elevator. I was in it, and on the seventh floor we picked up and bunch of people, they did not know each other it seems. The amount of people was not enough pack the elevator, but to fill it nicely. Now, we start going down and I look around at the people, AND EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT SPOT in DEAD silence, trying to avoid other people's gaze. I myself was the only one who was actually looking up. So it went that way for awhile, and I just realized that everybody is afraid of something so much that we won't even look at other people. I mean it is not like if you do look at somebody that they are gonna lash out(most of the time Ded_Skin_Mask13). I don't know, I tried to hold eyecontact (no smile, to see if they would smile first) with a bunch girls in hawii, my own little boot campish thing, and found that I either got ignored, stares, or smiles, and none of those are so bad.
