    Scary bloke on the train today. Huge, expressionless, starey. He didn't say a word or make any threatening gestures but all 5 other people in the carriage were intensely uncomfortable & on-edge until he got off. Bizarre how much effect doing eye-contact wrong can have.

        Probably not. He just seemed a little odd. Perhaps mentally disabled or neurologically atypical or even partially sighted.

        Perhaps autistic or just unaware.

        I was blissfully unaware my extreme focus when I'm speaking to someone in a serious discussion scared the living hell out of people for the longest time.

        Just, i grew up where holding eye contact is the norm during debates, so when i moved away to somewhere that isn't norm, everyone is like "Oh holy fuck this is intense"

        Totally bizarre how confrontational direct eye contact is. My dog gets lunged/growled at all the time because he approaches other dogs head on and stares them in the eyes.

        I experienced that once as a young woman. It was weird the power the man's stare had. I still wonder about it sometimes, as in, why didn't I just get off and wait for another train?

        Sounds like someone perhaps configured for a pre-train environment.
