I don't have smelly breath i just want to know why people do it i know its because i have bigger lips not hugeee but bigger than average i also want them to stop it staring it makes me feel insecure when im saying something and all there staring at is my lips.l had someone tell me that i have bigger lips than average.And everyone i talk to does it at least twice or more. Im pretty sure its not that they feel awkward because my friend of two years does it as well. Also tis one girl told me that i have bigger lips

Maybe you have nice lips or maybe they’re crusty?

Some ppl just don’t give eye contact. They look at other facial features. Some ppl even look at ur nose

A lot of people look at someone’s lips when they talk. Less awkward than staring into their eyes I suppose.

People often find extended eye contact difficult and look at the mouth instead so that they are still looking at the face. It's normal and not something you should feel insecure about.

I thought this was going to be about men looking downwards.

Do you talk quietly? If so, people may watch your lips so sort of lip read to make sure they're hearing you correctly.

Yes they probably just have an eye contact issue. I'm sure it has nothing to do with your lips.

I'd think if someone had the nerve to comment on your lip size they wouldn't think negatively on them.

For example if someone has an undesirable feature i wouldnt comment on it but if its something that i thought wasnt bad at all and they weren't insecure about, I'd be more likely to comment on it

I sometimes start at people's lips if they're really thin and flat and feel sort of baffled and curious as to why they look like they have no lips.

I also do it to lip read if the person mumbles.
