So I have a quick question about eye contact. I have been meditating and working on my eye contact and it seems like it has the opposite effect.

I have been making more eye contact the last couple of months and I’m at a point where I notice myself staring into someone eyes and not breaking eye contact. Now I notice with friends and some girls that they just act differently around me, they move around a lot, break eye contact constantly and it makes me lose focus on what’s going on as I keep playing this annoying game of what is the right amount of eye contact.

On the other hand, I also have some girls who look me in the eyes for a long time and then look away eventually, they start laughing at what I say even when I’m not joking and get a big smile on their faces. I had this girl today that started laughing at something I said that was not even funny. But her eyes were also closing and opening like 200x a minute and she was also moving around like she was trying to get closer or because she was uncomfortable (I don’t know).

So I wanted to know what you guys think about eye contact, what works for you? Do I stare too long, or is it just in my head?
