I found that so intriguing (and relatable!). Relatable, because I think I would definitely feel the same emotions and fears you felt initially when doing the 30 mins eye gaze with someone! Intriguing because it just dawned on me by reading this article, that such a vital human experience (eye contact) is also a lovely tool to use to connect better with people. One I probably don't use enough. I know when I walk down the street and just look at a passer by with a smile, I always receive a positive response back. I love that it is so easy to connect but yes, it takes a teeny weeny little bit of confidence too. Great story thank you so much.
