Every faction is the bad guys, it's individuals (or sub groups like the salamanders) within the fiction that get to rise above their faction and be good guys.

I always thought that it meant: just because someone has authority over one subject, doesn't mean they have it for another. Just because Einstein is good at math and physics doesn't mean his quotes about philosophy and religion hold any authority.

So I think the question could be refined a little. Eye contact helps build connection between people, but it's not the only piece of the puzzle. Maybe a better question is "'How do I communicate more empathetically?"

There's another question; "How do I let someone know I'm interested?" This question is related to the first in that trying to get close to another person (being vulnerable with each other) and communicating your feelings is how you let someone know your interested.

TLDR: get to know them and tell them you're interested. If they say they're not interested you can probably still be friends since you already got to know each other. Empathy and humility/vulnerability are key in building relationships.

Meh Dayzie or Caleb, I don't use deodorant and I do a bunch of exercise. Exercise then shower, and I have a smell, but it doesn't smell bad. Most people just smell like people unless they aren't taking care of themselves.

Thank you for turning my shitty sleep deprived joke into something that contributed to the conversation, you're a real one.
