Get Your Side-Eye Game On
Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka|November 2018

You would’ve witnessed iconic side-eye moments from Riri’s reaction to Miley Cyrus’s VMA performance to little YouTube star Chloe’s shade. Having said that, throwing the infamous sideeye is not limited to celebrities. You’ve probably done this a 100 times, too, like that one time when you walked into this room and this girl couldn’t stop casting her gaze sideways. Decoding and dealing with this type of sassy shade isn’t difficult to fathom. Sumaiya Shuaibdeen gets into position to show you how.

Get Your Side-Eye Game On

This classic millennial shade is almost a form of art. Here are the types of side-eyes we’ve stumbled upon and what they mean.

“I’m So Annoyed With You”

This is when you’ve irritated the person to the extent they stop focusing on everything else and have their eyes on you. This is mostly common during formal meetings where you’re voicing your opinion with so much passion and confidence that it infuriates your coworker who thinks that their spotlight is being taken away by you. Thus, the best way to manage this is not reacting at all, as they’re simply jealous and you shouldn’t breathe in this negativity for no reason. Nevertheless, don’t bring another person down to make your mark as most people may not like you for. So, do yourself a favour by choosing collaboration over competition to help avoid sideway gazes at work.
