Look people in the eye

Man, I’m rockin’ at this. Today I met the elementary school principal at the school I’m volunteering at, and I didn’t divert my eyes once during our conversation. The more you do it, the easier it gets. So close to marking this off!

When I meet new people I never look them in the eye as I am speaking.

This is my observation of the day.

I’ve been doing pretty well with this! I feel more confident.

I have no problem doing this with S or B, and G, not really. With T, yes, definitely. I don’t know why. With some people it bothers me and with some it doesn’t. I just can’t figure out what makes the difference. I guess it doesn’t matter.

I want to do this consistently until December; then I will mark this off my list.

By putting this reminder on here, I’ve been doing this actively more and more.

I have been forgetting about this. Some people I naturally look in the eyes and others I don’t. It’s interesting.

without or in spite of the fear . with a sense of humour .try and
see where it goes . don’t have to say anything just acknowledge

day 2 thinking about this do i really like people who look me in the
eye ???? does anybody really like people that look them in the
eye . if you don’t have anything to be ashamed about maybe you
have no shame ?

day 3 yes

I’ve been working on this. Sometimes I even make a conscience effort to look people in the eye when we are talking. I’ve noticed that there is one person whom I never look in the eye and they never look at me either when we are talking. I think it’s because I don’t trust her and she probably knows it. I think it’s because of our past and things get awkward sometimes.

It’s only last year that i realised i haven’t look people in the eye when they are talking. I mean i do but when our eyes lock i tend to avoid eye contact after that ‘cos it just feels uneasy. I have been trying to look people in the eye more now and it still feels uncomfortable. Hopefully it will feel natural soon! =D

It’s not hard for me to look people in the eye when they’re talking to me, but when I’m talking that’s another story.
