# 1000 yard stare — Meme Lab

Use 1000 yard stare when distant collides with focus, and that mismatch becomes the point of the conversation.

- What it expresses: A distant gaze implies intense focus without direct engagement.
- Example: For example, when someone is deeply absorbed in a complex task.
- When not to use it: Avoid 1000 yard stare when the situation lacks both distant and focus; the image would suggest the wrong relationship.
