I think the better question is, what is stopping you from doing it?

When I look at people I intend to see them as a real person and pay attention to them. I don't think about myself.

This is the ONE thing that I NEED to start fixing. When you don't give people eye contact it makes you out to be a stuck up peice of shit.
I wish people could read me better when I don't make eye contact and realize that it is cuz im shy and not because I think im superior to them somehow.

maybe you can try looking at their nose or something close to their eyes on their face, their forehead maybe or the corner of their eye. gradually work your way to the eyes but if becomes to much go back ti the safe spot and don't stray to much from it.

Man, that was the hardest thing to learn. I became accustomed to looking down growing up to keep someone from noticing me. Making eye contact is a powerful thing. It's a lock, an instant connection, and being shy we learn to run to relieve the pressure, to protect ourselves from hurt we think is coming.

I do it now. It make a person feel interesting. If a person isn't looking at me when I am talking I think they don't care about what I am saying. I do it and the person I am talking to feels comfort in knowing someone is listening. I did what invisible said. I started with the nose and eventually got used to the eyes.

i do if i think she is Gorgeous but if i know she is interested in me then i find myself much more confident...

Try looking at yourself in the mirror and having a conversation with yourself. Then try on a family member or friend and work your way into looking at the persons eyes during a conversation..

As hard as it seems.. Just don't look away, it's not like it can hurt you, just focus on one eye. If you try focusing on both you'll go cross eyed, or possibly keep bouncing from one to the other, so best off sticking to one eye =] good luck..

Thanks for all the helpful feedback. I'm referring to looking at people when I am sharing or addressing a group of them as in a support group or teaching a class, which is something I do nearly on a daily basis. I don't have a problem with making eye contact one on one.
