i like to observe people in a crowd and stuff, and friends if they are unaware. I dont like doing it in therapy. it would feel like a stare down. NO THANKS. I very briefly make eye contact at the beginning toshow that i am not completely devoid of social niceities, and the rest of the session is spent with me intimiately tracing the patterns on her pillows that she's had all of these years. Or her rugs. Sometimes her painting, though it is boring. I would LOVE to really check out her bookshelf, but it is perpendicular to me, so I would have to twist around to look at it and that might be considered rude
