my sister and i were having a conversation and all of a sudden shes like,” are you ok?” so i asked her what made her think im not, and she said i have dead eyes and theyre freaking her out. what does that mean? and hey, maybe that could be my subtitle! something like, owner of dead eyes. actually, that sounds really creepy so maybe not. wow, i just went off topic… so, back to my original question, should i be concerned? she isnt the only person that has commented about my eyes. when i googled dead eyes, it said it is a symptom of being a psychopath or severe deppresion. do i need a therapist or am i overreacting?
From what I’ve seen, dead eyes usually means an emotional disconnect. Could mean you’re a psychopath, depressed, or simply don’t care for the conversation.
Most people I know could use a good therapist in life. However, since there seems to be no cure for psychopaths yet, therapy wouldn’t help you.
“Dead eyes” usually refers to someone with no discernible affect or emotion. It has a negative connotation, that the person is non-responsive, cold, uncaring. Sociopaths often are described this way. It IS creepy…
Maybe you were just zoning out for a moment.
the Dead Eyes” that freaked out the OP’s sister were just unfocused eyes. Generally, when you are speaking to someone your eyes are focused on that persons face. Occasionally, when you might get momentarily distracted, you might loose let your eyes go to infinity focus so it looks like a dead stare. My wife gets on me for this once in a while.
Redleg, I think you are correct, and your wife gets annoyed about that, because it feels like you are not paying attention to what she is saying.
Dead eyes are when someone has a kind of empty look to their eyes. It’s usually the way you can tell if someone is depressed. If you find yourself having very little interest in the things you normally enjoy and just having very little patience for everything and everyone then I would advise you to find a good therapist who can help you out.
One of my friends always tells me to stop giving her “the eyes”… its just that you get this non-focused look in your eyes for a while. It’s no big deal, but some people go nuts from it! Just try to focus when talking to your sister or anyone else who freaks our from these stuff. You’re definitely not psychopath, probably just a little less grounded or preoccupied that day. Lesson for life: don’t Google any health issues or body problems you have – you’re just convincing yourself that something is horribly wrong and you’re probably dying…
