As a person starts moving up into the fear band, you get the focus shifting around, but still directed downward. At fear itself, the very obvious characteristic is that the person can’t look at you. People are too dangerous to look at. He’s supposedly talking to you, but he’s looking over in left field. Then he glances at your feet briefly, then over your head (you get the impression a plane’s passing over), but now he’s looking back over his shoulder. In short, he’ll look anywhere but at you. In this tone, being fearful, the communication is twisted and consists of lies, and the reality is poor and is agreed upon for covert purposes. Fear is expressed on its highest level as acute shyness, stage fright, extreme modesty, being tongue-tied among other people. At this level we have withdrawal from people.
