cathyisme and I am not you.
i think its something about my insecurities.
How I did it: I just swallowed the awkwardness I felt and juct dove in. However, I'm still indecisive if it's really better to always look people straight in the eyes, or to just look them in the eyes on occasion. I'm still going to play around with it.

I have a major problem with this. I can look someone in their eyes for about a minute or less, then after im just looking down and playing with my fingers. I don’t want people to feel uncomfortable byoking them in the eyes, but also after awhile i feel like the person is looking into my soul and seeing all of my secrets. idk.
My cousin says she doesn’t trust people who won’t meet her gaze. But I have a really, really hard time with this one. I have at least four wierd hang-ups about it – (1) I’m afraid of freaking people out with my own gaze (ie. they’ll see I’m nervous and feel nervous themselves); (2) it’s always seemed to me an act of aggression to look at someone dead-on like that, unwaveringly, unless of course you’re lovers and your eyes are full of tenderness, etc., etc. (3) if not aggressive, it’s way too intimate; (4) I can’t THINK when I’m doing it! Despite all this, I’m working on it. And I am getting better.
