About This Quote
I have a friend named Matt, and he is a very quiet, shy person. He is also very intelligent and has an amazing artistic talent. However, Matt has a bad habit of staring at people for ten minutes before making eye contact. He can do this with everyone.
Whenever I see Matt he will say hello and then stare at me as if I am the most interesting thing in the world. It just makes me feel uncomfortable and awkward, because I know that he is trying to figure out what I’m thinking. Unfortunately, it doesn’t just happen with me; everyone that he meets is really uncomfortable with his intense stare and awkward behavior.
