Response to "Sex, Lies, and Conversation"

In response to "Sex, Lies, and Conversation", I believe that my communication style is somewhat similar to that of the boyfriend that layed down and covered his eyes whenever his girlfriends wanted to have a talk, but this mostly depends on who I am having a conversation with. If I'm talking to my parents, I feel a bit uncomfortable and don't make direct eye contact. If I talk with my sister or any of my friends, I can look them in the eye. If I have a conversation with a guy, that is when I have trouble keeping eye contact. I am listening, but it is more comfortable for me to look away and not have direct eye contact when I have a conversation. Sometimes I also find myself looking down, and I shrug my shoulders and say, "I don't know" a lot, even if I do know. That is my basic reaction to a situation that I don't feel comfortable in.
