I tend to look away unless I'm talking to them.

You look at them back and say something?

Make sure they aren't scanning my brain, then engage in an enlightening conversation.

I'm going to assume this person is a stranger...

I don't act any different, but it gets a little awkward. If I'm walking towards them, I tend to look at my surrounds or talk to a friend.

If they're a stranger, I look away.

If they're someone I know, I may smile and/or wave.

If they're someone I'm talking to, I may stare attentively for a while, then look away intermittently to avoid awkwardness.

If they're having a staring contest with me, I stare back.

Ugh, I'm horrible with eye contact. I spend 90% of my conversations staring absolutely ANYWHERE but the person's face. It's just horribly unnerving looking into a person's eyes. The only time it doesn't bother me is when I'm all rage-ified and angreh.

I used to never look people in the eye but I have a habit of always doing it when dealing with people. I'll look away every now and again but that's mostly because my eyes get tired of looking at one thing for too long.

It depends on the person. If it's a good looking stranger, I will stare back, I have a stare that makes people blush for no reason.

If it's someone I know, I will take that as a good sign to start conversation.

I look at the ground because Im really shy. Or stamp on ther foot so they will look down and I'll run away. Im serious.

If a stranger stares at me I tend to give them a mean look back no matter who it is. People tell me I do this so maybe I do it subconsciously?

Depends.

At work:
-Assume it is because they want something. Either to ask a question or purchase something.

On the street:
Stare. Until they look away or say something so amazingly asinine that I laugh at them and keep on my way.

At the bars:
-If woman:
Strike up a conversation. Or just smile and nod their way.
If a man:
-Smile at them and ask them why the hell they are looking at me. Then get ready for a brawl.

If ladyfriend:
-Assume that it is the signal for them to make me a sandwich.
