Logically, a person must show his personality in the different environments that may be presented in his life, whether work, personal, among others, which is why depending on the context in which we are performing we can show a type of personality that expresses disinterest, such disinterest is because we may be uncomfortable, or even have unfounded fears or fears that are expressed with shyness and in the end the person even look away and express fear.

Why would a person feel uncomfortable in a conversation?

Not all conversations have a topic of conversation that inspires comfort to the people involved in the conversation, that is why if the topic of conversation is uncomfortable for any of the parties involved, there will always be an unconscious way to convey that discomfort, examples of this may be to look away, but the most important thing is to decipher the psychological phenomenon behind this behavior.

In the absence of which qualities can a person look away?

When a person does not want to look another person in the eye during a conversation, it is often because morally there are some qualities that the person who is looking away lacks, these qualities may be:

  • Lack of sincerity.
  • Feeling guilt.
  • Sensitivity to shame.

However, it is important that our cognitive sense of psychology helps us to differentiate the true causes for which a person may look away from us, since many times it is not because of lack of sincerity, nor because they feel guilt, much less because they are ashamed to talk about taboo subjects, but simply because they are people who were not educated in the field of knowing that when talking to another person you should look at the person with whom you are talking to.
