When someone does not make eye contact with me it makes me feel like I am not important enough for them to devote all of their attention to me. It hurts when I am given the cold shoulder, it kind of shows that someone is mad at you or that you may have done something wrong. When someone only comes to you with complaints it starts to get really annoying. It feel like they can never say anything positive and only want to bring your mood down.
Good thoughts. I added this question because in my years of working with children, parents and staff, I have seen staff members treat parents and other staff in this disrespectful manner. I want my students to realize how important and powerful giving respectful eye contact can be.Thanks for your thoughtful response.
