Holding eye contact

Can you hold eye contact while looking in the mirror with yourself and feel completely ok and good about yourself? If not, maybe it's a good place to start.

Also, it helps to become present in the moment.

hope it helps!

Practice, then practice, then think about being a worthy person to look in the eye, then practice some more. Find your confidence in the repetition of your practice. As you practice with intent, you will gradually be comfortable with not flinching, holding your gaze. It does not hurt - ever. As you become more confident in your gaze, you will notice that people will begin to respond to you differently. People, both women and men respect someone who doesn't flinch at eye contact and treat them with more respect and attention than those who do flinch. Go to a mall or a place with crowds to practice. Make it happen for yourself faster. You will like yourself a bit more because of it. Good Luck!

I practice on cashiers and other service people. It's a low pressure interaction I suppose that is suitable for good practice.

look at the middle of both eyes instead of their eyes directly. it's an old sales trick but it works.

Especially in gang ruled neighbourhoods.

Work on your confidence before even thinking about girls, get Wayne Dyer books he will help you immensely. As far as that eye contact technique it won't help you as you won't look at girls you're interested in so it's a different dynamic. Furthermore, you might do this to the wrong person who will misinterpret it as a threat or a sexual advance.

I started working on my eye contact about a year and a half ago when I read 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris. It sounds silly, but since then I've picked up on the fact that strong, confident characters on TV have amazing eye contact. Rick Grimes on TWD won't break his eye contact for anyone, or anything (except maybe Negan/Lucille, but I digress)

Don't be afraid to stare someone down! Even if they should call you out on catching you looking at them just claim that they looked like someone you knew! Most people have the same issue and can't hold eye contact at all (or even worse, simply stare at the ground as they walk)

Make eye contact with people who cannot further interact with you. That's why you're probably scared. Make eye contact with people outside whilst you're on a bus or the other way round. Work your way up from there
