  1. I remember reading somewhere that holding eye contact is unpleasant from the biological perspective. Thats just something animals do when assarting dominance, fighting between each other (for example like cats) and so on. Therefore i belive that cultures that dont try to hold eye contact have a way more logical position in this sense.

  2. My tip for practising is to make an eye contact with people that pass you on the street. And if you feel like it, give them a smile. Helps you notice that people are less malicious than you think they are. Most will smile back at you. You may be scared of their expression, but just look and you'll see they aren't what you expect.

  3. I found a nice way to practice eye contact is just looking at your teachers eyes at school during lessons even when they are not looking at you and when they look at you just keep it for like 2 more seconds and break it because you dont want to seem more powerful than your teachers, which may lead to them linking you with negative emotions which may reflect in your grades and relations with teachers (dont try to be more powerful than people above you. Its somewhere in the book „48 laws of power” I belive)

  4. I find eye contact uncomfortable because I feel like everyone is judging me. If you relate, just remember that everyone is a weirdo that wonders the same thing. Suddenly, it's not so daunting. Everyone is too busy worrying about themselves to care about judging you.

  5. What if you do all of these already and have been for years but still seems like people are afraid/intimidated by me, im nice and honest and i always make people feel like they can talk to me. I just assume people are just scarey nowadays

  6. some more about eye contact: break eye contact every so often for a second to break the tension, so it doesnt look like youre staring at them. slightly raise your eyebrows to show that youre listening as well
