Babies don't make people shy, they see you in the moment as you actually are. They don't see your new balance trainers or your cravat and judge how many Mp3s you've thieved from Chris Clark. Just be natural with them and they'll like you. |

i believe that when you look at a baby it's a reminder to yourself of absolute and complete innocence and i think we find that sometimes quite shocking. in many ways it is like looking into an emotional mirror. obviously not all people feel awkward or uncomfortable around babies but there is definitely something raw in their presence. something which cuts right through you to the core. |

I always get nervous when a baby or small child stares at me. There's something about eye contact with them. JivverDicker put it in an interesting way, 'they see you in the moment as you actually are.' It feels like they're looking past something, everything, and getting right to my soul at the back of my eyes, it's very penetrating and makes me nervous. Then I look away and look back a bit later to find they're still fixated on my eyes. They've sensed my nervousness, and now they're investigating. Investigating this giant and why it's so weird, why is this giant nervous? What a strange giant. I'm gonna keep looking cause I love to look at things amusing. So why am I shy when a baby looks into my eyes, and others aren't. I think it's cause I've never in my life enjoyed making eye contact with others, since I was around 5 or 6 and to this day, during conversations short or long, I look elsewhere from the talker. This applies for family and best friends too. Except my girlfriend, I don't have a problem with eye contact there. Weird. |

Totally! I read somewhere a piece of advice was to carry a picture of yourself when you were a baby in your wallet. It guilt trips you into doing the 'right' thing and thinking "How and why would you do this to this pure thing." or something like that. |

a baby has never made me shy, nor have i ever been aware of the phenomenon that is babies making people shy. is this a common thing or what? |
||||||||

its just that youre not socialized into being around them. until i spent two weeks in a maternity ward, i was very uncomfortable around babies. by the end of my stay, i was carrying them around, talking to them and changing their nappies :) |

i like babies. although it is bittersweet because i know i will hate them as people later on. |

haha surely you will like the ones you raise yourself? |

i've been giving that one some serious thought. please choose from the following witicisms: a) i guess as long as they don't call me surely. b) depends on how early they get a job. c) yes, since my 401k was cut, i'll need them to wipe my ass when i'm 90. |

i don't get this "shy around babies" thing either. i see them as this shapeless form which you have the opportunity to mold and warp and fuck up however you feel appropriate. you can say anything to a baby and they're more than likely going to be okay with it. |

Anonymous babies who stare at you on a bus for extended periods can be a bit disconcerting, but generally I think they're great. I once sat next to the sweetest little girl ever (and her mother) and she had the most amazing smile and glow around her. Kids just crave attention really and want to connect to people around them. My baby niece has a habbit of sizing people up for about 5 minutes when she first meets them and will stare at them really hard. After a while, she'll open up and then you can't shut her up. Everything is like an adventure with them. |

I personally believe that babies make people shy because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have babies, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian babies, so we will be able to build up our future for our children. |

I believe that babies don't make people shy. People feel uncomfertable because they can't interact with this human been like they used to (unless they have seen many babies before). They just don't know how to behave and therefor get shy, isn't it? |

As has been said, people don't know how to react when they are presented with a baby. This makes them uncomfortable. I agree with Aesthetics. Similar thing when people meet mentally disabled people. |
