Eye Contact

[fennecfoxx]

Does anyone else find it awkward to maintain eye contact when talking to a tulpa that is not yet visually imposed?

 

I find that it seems a bit awkward because, even though I know there's someone in front of me, my eyes tell me I'm just staring at the wall (or whatever else happens to be behind my tulpa). I have to consciously try to maintain eye contact to keep my eyes from wandering elsewhere (since my eyes will try to wander since they aren't focused on anything visible).

>tfw you avoid making eye contact with your tuppers in public so people don't realize you're staring at air

I try to make eye contact whenever I think of it. If it starts getting awkward and the fact that I'n staring at air becomes too distracting, I just close my eyes and continue imagining it in my mind.

 

But then, most of my time narrating is during walks, so we're usually both looking straight forward, with frequent glances at each other. Maintaining eye contact isn't a problem.

Chloe is not fully imposed yet... Might as well try this!

 

Cruse: *stare~~~~~

Chloe: "?"

Chloe: *stare~~~~~

Chloe: *shift her face into a cat face :3

Cruse: "dafuq"

 

Nope, it's hilarious, not awkward.

 

Mayhaps my eye already got used to it.

Durring the early days when we were attempting imposing, looking Oguigi in the eyes didn't felt too awkward. but it was a grim reminder that i had a long way to go before i would see anything.
