The Reptilian Stare vs a regular stare?

I have seen that before. I know someone who does that when up to no good, and he has that look on his face a lot!

I believe it has to do with the provoker, and the one being provoked. if someone says im a PsYcHoPaTh ...then the weaker invidual naturally will feel an intense fear or anxiety that will cause an emotional disturbance. The weaker individual will set off a chain reaction with his low self esteem or what have you, and then run on these forums saying those who are PsYcHoPaThIc HAVE a Reptilian stare! ....honestly people, its all Hollywood. Either that or i am on to something. However you look at it, i dont believe there is such a thing. But, maybe its just me. maybe i dont feel phased by some donkey with an anger problem staring at me. . .

I haven't seen the reptilian stare, but i have noticed the reactions of very close friends of mine to my soon-to be-ex aspd bf. before he even opens his mouth, which he doesn't very often in the company of people he doesn't know well, there is an almost immediate knee-jerk reflex in response to his presence--as if a bad smell suddenly pervaded the room. and, it is quite evident on their faces which is what first led me to question him. he is an intelligent, quite handsome guy. most of my friends are quite intuitive, creative types struggling with their own personal demons and so, therefore, are quite tolerant of others' shortcomings, and even they had an adverse reaction to his presence. whether it is a reptilian stare or whatever, people sense and respond to sociopaths.

Well if its the smell, then perhaps he should take a shower, hell if someone smelled and i took a sniff my knees would tremble too!

V--

i expected such a response. har, har. he has good hygiene. please note that i said, "as if there were a bad smell in the room". people wrinkle there noses and look perplexed. not makin' it up. have seen it on more than one occasion.

Well im sure you would cringe to someone if you were intimidated by them, but that by no means literally just by their eyes alone are you scared of them. There has to be more deeper reasoning.
-And i never seen someone wrinkle their nose over being intimidated by someone, perhaps they just had a deviated septum?

I'm pretty sure that the reptilian stare is just a romanticization of an emotionless stare, but some people claim that they "feel" it when psychopaths are around them. I personally think that's just #######4.

Same here...do you feel me on that one?

I suspect you think a lot of things are #######4.

You're mostly right, too.

Which is all the more why i wish people would think more like me. Kudos on those who do
