Answer 1

At first, people will think you're shy. After a while though, they will think you don't like them or you have something to hide.

You will have to make an active decision and make the effort to make eye cotact. Force yourself if you have to.

Answer 2

Making eye contact is probably one of the most difficult things for ALL people to do. I used to have the same problem but as you get older (I'm 42) it becomes easier.

I think that you think that the other person does not like you staring into their eye's which is probably true as some people might feel it (subconsciously) as sign off aggression.

Here's how to do it.

Look eye to eye, just for a second or two then move you eyes away, just your eyes not your head then look back to their face not directly into their eyes then go back to their eyes, keep repeating this. It take practice but you'll get there

Good Luck

Answer 3

I guess you have an inferiority complex.

Answer 4

I kind of have the same thing going on, but somethime it not to bad and days it like I don't like to look at any one.  Well people I know yes but on the street or mall now way.

Answer 5

light sensitivity

Answer 6

Ive always been a nerd and have had people disrespect me. But Ive noticed people reacted differently around me, when I changed my body language and started making deep eye contact. Its essential.  It shows confidence and an "I'm not intimidated attitude".

Look at this video, look deep into the eyes and listen to the message. Its amazing.

PS. Too much I contact is bad. People can feel threatned and hostile. Sometimes its just weird.

Answer 7

please dont take this offensivly but if its that bad go to a doctor and see if you have aspergies (i cant spell) syndrome because you may have a mild case of it and they have major issuses with eye contact, and if it is then people can help you work on it.

Answer 8

Ask yourself, "What am i so scared of or worried about that I dont make eye contact when I talk to someone" . the only answers to something like that come from within, personally I dont either and because I have rare gifts that most humans dont...but search yourself for conclusions to problems like that.
