I'm not a shady person or anything...I just find it uncomfortable and after 3-5sec I direct my eyes somewhere else then come back to it Like In this new job,it's been my third day and I've done it to a few people ha.
People I know well I don't do this with.Anyone else have the same shit?

This either means they're giving you the evil eye without realizing it and you're sensitive to negativity or you are indeed a shady person and the warm glow of their eyes repels you.
Try looking at the space right above the nose between the eyes?

Yeeaah... I kind of do. or I used to.
It feels good to stare them straight in the eyes and have it not phase you. It makes a big difference with some people especially girls. You can tell a lot by just looking someone straight in the eyes. That probably scares you cause they can do the same to you.
They eyes are very powerful windows.

Usually it's the very warm hearted people I have a hard time looking in the eyes. If you can force yourself to do it, even accepting the possibility that they will be afraid of you, you may get to see something really astonishing in their eyes, like you're looking right into their soul... i have to start doing this more, it reminds me that there are good people out there.

The shitty thing is I am usually surrounded by soulless people with dead eyes so that when I do find one of these people looking into their eyes is overwhelming, both for me and probably for them.

I don't have a problem maintaining eye contact when I'm talking with somebody anymore. I still get really uncomfortable if I look over at somebody and we make eye contact, though. I never know if it would be weird to look away right then, or if I should stare at them for a second before looking away, or wait until they look away.
Like someone else said, just force yourself to do it and you'll eventually worry about it less. I used to be the same way. If you've been smoking weed or doing some other drug, then that's a different story. Haha.

too much mind can be the worst mind.
I know what it is like, I have long since mastered the art of not looking people in the eyes and making it seem natural as hell.
Its scary when you look into someone's eyes, especially the pure ones. Unfortunately they are the ones I desire to be around most. It usually isn't a problem with dudes though. Fuck them.

well i dont have trouble looking people in the eyes, but when i am hanging out with people and they want to talk, i dont let them wear sun glasses while talking to me if i dont know them very well.
if you are talking to me i will ask you to take your shades off. to look into your eyes. i am very weird about it and dont usually ask somebody to do so unless i am interested in knowing something about them, but have found that if somebody does not look me in the eye while talking, then they are probably not worth talking to.
for those that do not look into others eyes i suggest you start doing so,
first of all, start with your own.

i kind of understand this though. when i talk to someone who has shades on, i feel almost vulnerable cuz i hate when i dont know if people are looking at me. similarly, when i have shades on, I notice an immediate boost in confidence, cuz noone knows what im looking at and noone can "read" me based on my eyes.

you need to look people in the eyes to portray confidence. its like having a strong handshake vs some limp dick one. one thing i cant deal with is close talkers, that shit weirds me out. if you're gonna come in close talk to the side head.
