I think this is pretty normal. Personally, when I'm looking at someone most of the time my mind is totally blank. If I am thinking, for the most part I'd like to think it's positive, but there are times it's not. Usually pretty bland and neutral, though. When people look at me it's pretty much the opposite: most of the time I'll question myself, but very occasionally I'll assume that it's a compliment or something positive. I'm actually working on a series of performances about this at the moment - revolving around vulnerability, public and private personas, looking at and being looked it. It's a really interesting thing to be looking at.
