Presenting Confidence with strangers [+ favourites]

i find when i walk in public i intentionally do experiments to see peoples reactions.. like especailly with confidence/non-confidence.. if i act confident/maybe intimidating but look away it might be a sign that i think im better than them but im scared so they want to act like they're better and act more confident.. if i act unconfident people tend to act more intimidating. so it seems like we have to be confident ... they can be nice experesions but then we have to have eye contact and not look away when peope look at us !! agreed? ideas?

Personally i only look at ppl when im checking them out, but usually when im walking down the street no-one else exists except me. im looking far into the distance where im going and nothing around me is really there. I could care less who or what is near me. If some superficial poser passes by with his/her "im too beautiful" look, i just look up and away.

rock on ultima! I've often done little tests with people, usually when they speak with me first, for example, if some one calls me "gay" I would either ignore them, give them a hug (you should see the way they run), or have a chat, generally people think I'm just ignorant when I ignore them, get completely freaked out by the hug, and we get along when we chat......An example of when I have the first word is when I would shake the persons hand say hey (giving of different signs each time) let them lead the way
