[QUOTE="s_x_i, post: 11628355, member: 47078"] I was bullied most of high school and it made me terrible at eye contact. I would always look away, fidget, play with my hands... My wife called me out on it years ago. At first it was impossible, but I read some books on body language and worked extremely hard at trying to look people in the eye. Initially I couldn't do more than a couple of seconds and I really had to force it, I'd manage it for a moment, then I'd be right back to looking at my shoes. It took me the better part of 5 years to really get over it. Now I love negotiating, meetings, any kind of one on one business stuff. 95% of the people I deal with can't use eye contact or read body language, so right off the bat it gives me control of the situation and a definite advantage no matter the context. It is absolutely worth your time to overcome your fear of eye contact! [/QUOTE]
