i have problems talking and listening with direct eye contact what can i do to help my social anxiety.?

Question:

Answers:
Practice talking to yourself in the mirror. I know it sounds crazy, but once you're able to totally feel comfortable looking yourself in the eyes in the mirror, talking to everyonelse will be a breeze. In fact, you'll start to make them feel a little unsure.

Other Answers:
1) Spend more time on-line. Keeping that personal touch out of it is great for building the ability to talk to people.

2) Try to be involved in more television watching. Developing a good blank stare is handy in conversation. The people you talk to later will not be able to read you. Also, this is great for poker.

Get out and talk to people. Through interaction you will make mistakes and become more anxious. But eventually you will be able to sustain moments of real personal contact.

ease it in. find people with similar interest, something that you like tlaking about. something that gets you so passionate you forget the world around you. the other day i was tlaking about a time someone got the police called don them, and i forgot about my surroundings and ran into a door.

look at the 'third eye' on the forehead - if you are not too close, people cannot tell you are not looking them in the eyes..

I had the same problem, dude. You just gotta work on it with friends whom you're most comfortable with.

Start out slowly. Just look at a spot right between their eyebrows. They won't know you're not looking them right in the eye. Eventually, you'll be able to progress to their eyes.

Look at the space just above and between their eyes instead of into their eyes.

take tyrosine and realize ppl are same .. be patient tyrosine is a natural amino acid lacking in brains they use it fro your probs as well as adht add etc .. eye contact well you can tell when ppl are serious and take u serious if u look away no one will so.. make a game out of it look into their eyes like u have the control and power of the conversation you will be surprised how they listen to you and converse back when u look into the eyes.. and think to yourself I got this under control and their listening to me so relax don't hurry ur speech or dialog as u got their attention .. anxiety .. will be less in time with practice.. and coaching from family member recite something to them or take a public speaking class..you could get a web cam and make a video of your self reciting a poem or speaking and play it back to see how u look and sound.. then practice on someone then venture out to the people.. in general..

what you might want to do is look in the mirror and talk directly to yourself do not look away or put a picture on the wall and talk and look directly into the eyes of the picture

You have to get past this ignorant belief that you have (planted by someone you trusted no doubt) that people are more smart, more socially savy, better looking, more popular, etc.they are the ones that are afraid to really be themselves.just look at the Dweeby questions some of these ingrates ask that think they are superior.Look them dead in the eye with the knowledge that you know who you are

Well just keep in mind that we are all uncomfortable with others most the time, some are just better at hiding it than others. Just remember they are probably feeling the same way and not showing it. With this in mind it will eventually be easier to make eye contact into a habit.
