psych yourself out. Think of how fucking awesome you are and that you are doing anyone you look a massive favour just to be in your presence. It's almost like you create an alterego for yourself that you learn to breakout when put under the pressure of it. Normally im somewhat shy but am able to lecture and give speeches to audiences 300+ because of it.

Just sit down for like 10 mins each morning and think of how great you are, all your accomplishments and everything you have going for you and that because your that great you are going to share a little bit of it with others. This all may sound incredibly arrogant, and it is. However, with confidence issues like this you need to dive into the deep in and then calibrate your attitude. You dont need to portray this attitude outloud, just keep it in your head.

At first it may feel awkward but just stick with it and you'll be ballin in no time at all.

you could do a color print out of peoples faces real life size and try practicing with that

i think its a little like stress and panic when i get infront of a big crowd. what i do is try to first give the speech to a friend, then maybe my parents or something.

practicing infront of a mirror is good too

goodluck
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

one word, LIE. lie like there's no tomorrow.
if you can look in people eyes when you lie then it's something wrong with your head;
if you can't look them in the eyes even when you lie then that's the way you are so you'll just have to practice, persevere and ignore the failures.
And my fury stands ready. I bring all your plans to nought. My bleak heart beats steady. 'Tis you whom I have sought.

Yea, i have the same problem and im also sure it has to do with confidence.

Also, when i see a nice girl and she looks at me, i usually look away if she's very beutiful, coz i feel she's above my league. Then i usually just dont look at her, coz i, i dont know, i think to myself, "nah, how could she want anything to do with me..."
I know that looks pretty weak, right? so as time passed i spontaneously developed an attitude like i dont need noone, im fine by myself, i dont open myself, i dont get embarased/hurt. I basically hope a girl will come to me first.
Its just so wrong i know it, but its sooo hard to change without upgrading my selfconfidence.

Im pretty sure most of my fuckups/missed oportunities in life were caused by confidence issues.

the same thing happened to me when i was like 12 or 13. I had a girlfriend that said she didn't like that I didnt look at her in the eyes. So I told her i felt uneasy about it and we would lay somewhere and stare at each other lol.

I suggest getting into some fights just pick some random person in the street and beat the fuck out of them. Do that once a week. Cures any self confidence shit.
Holy shit I'm good. Why u easy?

If you want some motivation for looking at eyes other than your self-image (so many self centered people posting here...), know that you can get a lot of extra information from someone by studying their eyes during verbal communication. You are missing out by looking away.

Well, I tend to look in another way when speaking with another person just to avoid eye contact. It's not like I'm afraid or nervous, I dunno why. But that started to solve when I got a GF ( got used to staring to people ).

About the other problem, as was pointed out before, it may just be some confidence issues ( or a soar throat). Just try to get one female friend and talk alot with her. And don't think of other girls just as possible partners. Just act normal.

It sounds like Asperger Syndrome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspergers

+ Show Spoiler +

The lack of demonstrated empathy is possibly the most dysfunctional aspect of AS.[2] Individuals with AS experience difficulties in basic elements of social interaction, which may include a failure to develop friendships or enjoy spontaneous interests or achievements with others, a lack of social or emotional reciprocity, and impaired nonverbal behaviors such as eye contact, facial expression, posture, and gesture.[1]


There's more in the Wikipedia section but it's a real disorder. I suggest contacting a Psychologist, not being a douche here or anything just want what's best for you. There's no single treatment for Asperger Syndrome, but if anyone can really help it's a Psychologist.

I really don't believe he's suffering from asperger syndrome. But he could tell us more about himself, about talking to people and sharing emotions etc (that way it could be made clear if he suffers from asperger syndrome or not).

Smurg, yes that can be true also... it just depends on the context like i mentioned before. The "oponent" can see it as a threat and it's just a matter of personality of how he will react: get scared, get pissed/provoked, etc.

They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

This is not a problem reading shit on the internet alone can solve.. how old are you? if you are in high school you should have plenty of opportunities to practice looking at peoples eyes.

serious suggestion: wear dark sun glasses everywhere

I have similar problem, I realized when I talked face to face, I dont stare at their eyes, but I dont get shy really. My voice gets deep and all nervous sounding when I'm in front of the class but I try not to feel nervous

Ok, I tried most of what you guys said and it worked ;D I had like a million staring contests with all my female friends. At first it was REALLY awkward. I got the hang of looking into people's eyes now. Well, not entirely, but a little.

I got a little better saying "hi" also. I tried controlling my voice level so I don't sound like a pedophile.
