I've noticed that I almost exclusively look down at the ground when I'm walking around. My eyes are usually at least a little downcast even when surveying a room, so I can miss things that are right at "eye level."
Apparently this is a fairly common trait among my friends, if not Aspies in general, so I was wondering if anyone else does it too.

yep, it's mainly because I'm always careful where I step incase I might step on something I don't want to be near, like ABC gum.

I do. Not sure if it's because of BPD or what. I just do NOT like making eye Contact. I stare at the ground quite frequently...

Yes, I do. My parents used to tell me not to do it because I looked like I was intimidated and meek. (I kind of am, but that's beside the point : / ). I often find myself looking at the ground when I walk because it's easier to watch the sidewalk go by than try to take in all the information that occurs at eye level, it's a bit overwhelming. It took me a long time to realise that is why I do this, as it's just a natural instinct.

I do. I proably do it because I feel intimidated, but I'd rather appear to be harmless than out for the fight of my life. >.>;

I used to do it, but not anymore. I'm built quite tough so when I'm out I watch others, predict where they're walking and just weave between them. Because of the way I look more often than not everyone clears out of my way now, it's quite cool.

It varies. I guess I do that sort of often. But sometimes I'm looking at the sky or the trees and the pretty leaves falling off of them here, because it's autumn.

Because of the way I look more often than not everyone clears out of my way now, it's quite cool. Ever since I noticed it, I've tried not to..but I sometimes forget for weeks at a time. It helps my posture, too...

Rilian It varies. I guess I do that sort of often. But sometimes I'm looking at the sky or the trees and the pretty leaves falling off of them here, because it's autumn. Ah, I find myself staring up a lot, too. Especially in stores for some reason. But I really like to watch the sky... which is not so advantageous when driving redface Quote: It helps my posture, too... My posture is awful. I want to fix it but I really don't know how.

Yea, my posture is rubbish, but I can hold it well when I need to look smart. I just can't be bothered most of the time. It's the way I am, no use in hiding it if I don't need to.

[Blood Dragon] I do. Not sure if it's because of BPD or what. I just do NOT like making eye Contact. I stare at the ground quite frequently... I cannot stand making eye contact, it's just too awkward, yet, I do it anyway, out of respect, and pure habit...

I look down when I feel like I'm being watched. Otherwise, not so much.

I used to look down when I was younger. I've taught myself not to, though. 3nodding
