Eye contact isn’t some pissing contest, nor should it be forced… That’s weird

Making eye contact is a very natural part of communication. You make and break as the conversation flows, you shouldn’t stare someone in the eyes as you speak with them, they will think you’re a psycho or on drugs.

Virtual eye contact is as helpful as eye contact in person.​

A new study has found that virtual eye contact has the same impact on our nervous system that in person eye contact does. The paper comes from Tampere University in Finland, where researchers wanted to know whether we had to be physically with each other to get the benefit of interaction.


So go practice with those youtube videos. Eye contact has never been an issue for me, I know when to break it so not to bother others that might have issues with maintaining it. I really just maintain eye contact out of respect and to convey a genuine interest in what they are talking about, not so much a social badge to stand on.

I maintain eye contact during conversation but there’s nuance to it. It’s not just the eyes but the whole face and aura that backs the eye contact. If I’m trying to be neutral towards someone I break eye contact periodically during a conversation, and relax my posture. If I’m serious I never break eye contact :demonic:

Oh and I noticed that if a woman is REALLY feeling me they won’t break eye contact when we’re talking and really focused on me.

Look into eyes when listening and beginning your point. Break away as you continue. Don't peer into someone's eyes like you want to steal their soul. Also, just look at their face in general. Scan the nose, eyes and the sort.

This is actually not as weird of a question as people think. I took a speech/non-verbal communication class in college and you'd be shocked how many people either look like beta cucks or serial killers when trying to talk to people.
