Eye contact

One of those challenges

in life

🌑

For some it comes

so easily

For me my eyes don’t comply

🌑

Eye contact

A daily battle

Or maybe

a contact sport

I love eye contact, when I used to be a sales rep I had to be careful not to give too much eye contact to some people because not everyone likes eye contact 🙈

  I must admit I do find it uncomfortable unless I know the person well. I think a lot of it is shyness as I’m very introverted! 😊

I always look for eye contact and never thought someone else wouldn’t be. How naive of me. Thanks for connecting. I love your words.

  I’m shy and introverted so maybe it’s that. Otherwise I have no clue!

Eye contact is hard sometimes. Especially if the person you’re communicating with is harsh and intimidating. By the way, I’ve nominated you for the Mystery Blogger Award because I think your blog is terrific and that you deserve it!

  I agree. Also some of us for whatever reason are uncomfortable with it. I have to make a conscious effort.
  
  Many thanks for your comment on my blog and the nomination! 😊

4-5 seconds 👀🥴

To maintain appropriate eye contact without staring, you should maintain eye contact for 50 percent of the time while speaking and 70% of the time while listening. This helps to display interest and confidence. Maintain it for 4-5 seconds. Once you establish eye contact, maintain or hold it for 4-5 seconds.Dec 31, 2012
