i hate it when people don sunglasses. i can't see their eyes. it feels like they're blocking out my attempts to read their emotions - i can't even tell if they're looking at me. (the psychological power of "the gaze"?)
i can't tell if they're sleeping, looking at me, glaring at me... i can only infer from the surrounding facial muscles what thoughts they are currently thinking.
perhaps a large part of sensing other people's emotions involves observing their eyes...
but then again, is it really imperative to know how others are feeling/thinking?
