Shark eyes comes up a lot on this forum. It is a flat affect in the eyes that often appears around bomb drop and especially accompanied by lack of empathy or conscience. Some research I have been doing has led me to wonder: Is the shark eye more pronounce

MLC Monster Re: Dead Eye Look- what is it?
#30: August 14, 2015, 05:35:54 PM


I met a guy 2-3 months ago, he started to hit on me  ;D but after a few minutes he started to tell me cause he just told me he was divorced, "we grow apart the last 10 years" BIG red flag for me and he also explained he had been depressed another BIG red flag  8) anyway, I asked him what his depression felt like. I started like I just was interested in mental health. He said he first thought he had cancer, no no he was not depressed, but he told me about his suicide thoughts etc. I asked more since I really would like to get some kind of understanding as to how it really felt. I then told him my H is depressed now and gave him a short version. He stopped talking to me about this at that point. It was like he knew that I knew, exactly everything that he had done (the script) like I can't fool her with lies or anything, "she knows to much" kind of feeling.

Ha! I bet he did run off after that. Got caught. Thought he had an easy prey there..

. but I think even if you would have not already have experience with a guy like him -moraly  if you're stable and you know yourself then you're not doing anything .
 But unfortunately there always people that fall prey to this behavior because they are sick individuals to himself .

Maybe somebody's just interested why somebody would not be "unhappy for 10 years" but then maybe get sucked into their talk ..? Not excusing that behaviour. You should just walk away.. Have dignity.. Plus:

 If someone is not "happy for 10 years"- how or why do you think that YOU would be the one that could fix that whole situation ?! I would think about hey that guy is unhappy for 10 years he might have bigger issues so back off and get away from him ..  Run the other way ..  He needs help and I mean professional help .. There's no way that I would get involved into his crap ..

Shark Eyes: Right, Left, Both

Shark eyes comes up a lot on this forum. It is a flat affect in the eyes that often appears around bomb drop and especially accompanied by lack of empathy or conscience. Some research I have been doing has led me to wonder: Is the shark eye more pronounced in the right or left? Or are both eyes about the same? (You can rely on photos or memory for this one.)

Please feel free to elaborate in the comments section. Also, if you have done any research into this topic, feel free to share.

Thank you!

The shark eyes are in both of my h's eyes. Most of the time i look at him, which isnt much, therevis nothing there. It is sad and frightening. Its sad because you could see the happiness in his eyes, and frightening because nothing is there and i no longer know the man, or lack there of,standing in front of me.

My H's shark eyes are gone now. But they were there. Of course they were hard to notice since he failed to make eye contact with me for a good 4 months.

My W had the shark eyes. She had them for about 3 months after she returned to our home. This was during her heaviest Monster phase. She wanted me gone during that phase and got her wish. They have not returned. Shark eyes were all about confrontation and destroying me. She still monsters occasionally but I classify it as more a whiny monster without those shark eyes.

It is both for my H.  His eyes just appeared huge and unblinking.  Almost like he was in a daze or maybe guilty.

For the last year my h was home and the first six months he was gone.. he had shark eyes.. the last time I saw him in court (September) they were gone and replaced by this lost .. I don't know where I am look.. it's was rather sad.. like looking at a lost child who can't find his parents and doesn't recognize anything around him.

My P had the shark (snake) eyes too but doesn`t have them anymore and hopefully they won`t return! I can`t remember exactly when but I think he had them either shortly before or around the time when he started practicing his very excessive "High Energy Replay", which was when he was out partying practically all night, every night. In my opinion this was the time when he hated me most and told me repeatedly that his greatest wish was to see me in the gutter.

My H were both eyes. There was a blankness for about 3 months after BD. Like there wasn't much in there. He always looked terrified like he might be found out about whatever. Since mine is a high replay vanisher I didn't see them all that often.

My H had the shark eyes in both eyes. Now there is more of an emptiness when I rarely see him.
