Wonder Why You Can’t Look People In The Eye? Consider These Factors
Maintaining steady eye contact is a challenge for many people. As the old saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Letting someone look into your eyes is a fairly personal thing for anyone, albeit common – even amongst strangers. For some of us, eye contact does not come naturally. Some of us don’t like maintaining eye contact for more than a moment, while others almost never make eye contact with anyone.

If you can’t look people in the eye right now, it might feel impossible to ever get over this. As someone who struggled with this for years, I promise you – you can. Let’s talk about how.
