not be afraid of eye contact

With most people I am not afraid of eye contract. It helps me to see if they are telling the truth or not.

I try to connect myself to others, but when it comes to looking you in the eye, my confidence falters..

most of the time i don’t anyway. it just sort of faded over time, and i only seem to get it on occasions where i’m feelings especially nervous or when i get panic attacks. the more you practise doing something in general, e.g talking to members of the public/shop assistants etc the more confident you get, and after a while it becomes second nature. most of the time now i’m not even conscious of making eye contact, it jsut comes naturally when you become more relaxed. it’s all a case of practise, but i’m still keeping this goal for now in case of relapse into old habits..

i dont know why i cant look at people in the eye
maybe it was in 4th grade,years ago that i started not to look people in the eye
i wanna change that

not so scared of eye contact anymore. I guess the reason why I was, was because you can see so much with one look into someone’s eyes. I kind of find it very intriguing now. It’s amazing the emotions you can see with just one look into someone’s eyes.

The eyes truly scare me. You really see deep in the soul of people when you stare at them. The eyes show truth. I just try really hard to avoid peoples eyes.

i’m getting better and better at this..woohoo! i just need to keep it up! =)

when i paid at the tills i could actually make contact with the sales people today..without feeling embarassed or awkward. i think this goal is almost complete :D

i am nearly 19, and still have problems making basic eye contact with guys, i just get so damn nervous around them and though i’ve learnt to make conversation better with them, i still struggle with this basic social skill. like, i go into a record store where i know there wil be a lot of guys and i can’t look up, i just kind of walk around with my head down, staring at the floor and i feel really uncomfortable. i am so unapproachable at times, and the fact i will be starting uni in less than a month is a cause for concern that i still can’t do this yet :/

I actually HATE somebody staring into my eyes… i could get crazy!!
some days ago a boy talked to me downtown. he just asked for a cigarette but he staaaaaaared! I wasnt able to stand the glance… argh..
but.. i dunno if i can learn it? so many people wanted to train that with me, but nothing has ever worked :/
so, tell me if you got over it. I also want to ^^

PS: a friend of mine took this pic for me to train lol but its not worth trying… it doesnt work xDDDD
