How people see me; Teenager's eyes

16/October/2024 in Kraków

For the past 2 months
I've paid more attention to others' faces on the street

And I noticed
99% of people shows a bitchy face, which I wrote about here


Recently, one thing caught my attention was
eyes of teenagers

Teenagers,
around 13 ~ 17 years old

Their eyes often shows
some kind of ambiguity

perhaps, confusion
perhaps, hesitation
perhaps, anxiety

Some of (or, many of) them certainly notice my existence
But they hardly look at my face straight




Then, how about small kid & adult?

Small kids/0 ~ 5 years old

They stare at my face for an extended period of time

Their eyes lock my face
without any hesitation, shame or self-consciousness

Pure curiosity

So straight-forward
So crystal-clear

It is so open, so direct & so strong that
they even look like they have some kind of "conviction" about something

about me, perhaps

Perhaps, they can see through things I'm hiding deep inside me


Adult/18 ~ 20 years old & above

Their eyes are often filled with, either

1
Warning
and/or Suspicion
and/or Doubt

towards me
And probably, towards the world also

OR

2
Apathy

They have no interest in the outside world
