make more eye contact

I’ve been thinking about this since my last entry a few days ago. On the days I find it hard to make eye contact this seems to extend to everyone. I even find it hard to meet the eyes of people serving me in shops and so on. So, I thought one way forward is that I will make eye contact with shop assistants each time. Hopefully this will work as it’s only for a really short period of time and there’s not the pressure of maintaining a long conversation at the same time.

I also hope this works as I’m feel it’s very rude not to look people in the eye when they are doing something or you.

quite hard with this and seem to be in the same place. Some days it’s fine, I have no issue with it at all. On the days when I find I hard to meet people’s eyes, I have still been trying to do so. But I find on the days I have to make myself do it, I feel really false and feel like I’m staring. I don’t think I am, it just feels like it. I guess I just need to keep practising.

and sometimes it’s not. I have days where I really struggle with making eye contact, even with friends. Some days I feel quite confident and have no problem with it at all, then I get days where I feel shy and unconfident and find it so scary and uncomfortable to meet peoples eyes. I will keep trying with this and see how I do.
