I've been realizing lately that I don't like looking at people's faces. Especially in photographs or commercials when the face is right there, zoomed in and looking at you, it bothers me. I just don't like facial expressions.
This isn't the case all the time, because I do like looking at the faces of people I like, such as my friends. But the expressions of some people just makes hatred well up inside of me.
I think this is one of the reasons why I don't like American comic book art that much (well, as opposed to Japanese comic book art). The faces of the characters are twisted into positions that aren't very flattering. The lines in their faces are accentuated. Whereas in manga, their faces are simplified and everything is made to look "prettier." Does this mean I'm obsessed with beauty? I don't know.
Sometimes it's like a car crash: I just can't stop looking as these people's faces move into different, ugly positions. I suppose this happens more often in real life, where I like to stare into people's faces. I like to read as much as I can about them before looking away. I am a creeper. But when I watch commercials or see close-up photos of faces, I can't look. I must divert my eyes. Even if it's a picture of someone I perceive as beautiful, sometimes it's too much.
But not all the time.
Don't judge me.
