For people afraid of eye contact, try staring at their nose..the other person wont be able to tell the difference.

Fear of eye contact usually shows lack of self confidence. Looking into people's eyes tells them that you are a dominant person that can kick ass.

... I can't look at people's eyes either. I've had really bad experiences in the past where people get angry and try to kill me because I stared at them.

I know you don’t give a **** about my kids stfu, I don’t give a **** about the weather and son of a bitch, its still only 830 am, go the **** away.…

and i do the same thing as toasty does, i feel like a tool saying pardon thrice. lol


You don't like it when people try to be friendly to you? lol? So when you talk to people you usually bring up a deep intellectual question then?

As for me, I usually lean against walls when I talk to people. Though it gets awkward when there is no wall around...

I also say "you know?" a lot recently. It is even annoying to me.

if there is a mirror in the room i will look at them through that. some find it freaky but it seems alot of people i know do it too. i also mumble a lot and don't really like the small talk but working life is all about the connections so you gotta do it somehow.

with all the ppl who said they have problems keep eye contact. I'd say to overcome it, you just need to break the cycle and the easiest way possibly be would be to calm yourself down a bit more. When i was younger, having to deal with adults etc. i'd feel my heart begin pumping faster when i sat down to talk to a teacher 1-on-1 or i'd begin to use irregular body signals, look down/away etc. and tbh, lack of socializing compared to previous generations due to internet/texting etc. is probably another reason why it's difficult for so many teens to keep eye contact with someone in a conversation.

and oh yea, taking a public speech class rly helps :P in staying focused and calm, cuz we all know we've seen/been one of those who looked like we took a bath while giving a speech about Lincoln
