Lead Stare

Typically common with boomers and most of early gen x as most of the products they used back in the day were lead based (i.e. paint, toys, utensils) this causes an issue with attention span, how the world perceives you, and personal relationships as these people tend to have no souls. Similar to the 1000 yard stare.
