I know that when my mind is a mess, I look downward when I walk. I remember as a pre-teen/young teen I used to look at my feet instead of in front of me. Learning to hold my head up and look forward took a lot of practice but, now that my depressions are less sever it's also easier to look forward than down.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing is looking at my feet then looking at someone as they pass by and they usually smile...then I just sort of blank and shut down a bit. If I'm just staring off into space without making eye contact but happen to see people I'm OK. Its more like what I used to be like before the psychosis set in, I've always been shy.
