I'm autistic, looking into people's eyes is too much "input" for me to process. I lose complete connection from my brain and i go into a trance. I forget literally EVERYTHING i hear or want to say. It's frustrating because people think I'm rude. It's not my intention. I can't conduct interviews very well Because of this. I have lost many jobs because of this. I end up leaving crying to myself because i draw blanks and get embarrassed.

Same. You hit the nail on the head for me. Never been able to put it into words very well. Thank you for that. When I'm 'forcing' myself to look at someone in the eye, it's already hard enough to listen to what they're saying or think about what I'm trying to say. Add the conscious effort to remind myself to use eye contact and not hold it for too long and make it seem 'natural'... the conversation goes out the window.

What frustrates me is that every time I get advice on how to maintain natural eye contact they say just hold it for 3-5 seconds or whatever. I realize that is the natural way to do it but what am I supposed to do, count to 4 in my head while looking them in the eye? By looking them in the eye I've already lost track of the conversation and focusing on counting to 4 is not helping that either.

@@charlescoult i have a photographic memory so the moment i actually pay attention to what i see, my mind goes into full "impression" mode and shuts off every other sense until all i can pay attention to is what i see to the point that i start seeing how many hairs they have in their left eyebrow, if their nose wiggles when they talk, if their upper lip is thin or thick, if they part their hair on the left or right, etc. If i make actual EYE contact, it's like hearing a hypnotist word, i get sucked into the void and i lose time. Like i actually go into a coma like trance where i black out momentarily. Eventually i snap out of it but I'm not sure how much of the conversation i missed.

1:25 Personally, my reason of avoiding eye contact is to help me focus better on the message instead of the "wrapping". If I have to look at someone in the eyes, I'm distracting myself with all the things I'm noticing visually and in a matter of a few seconds (usually 2-5), my attention will completely shift from the discussion to something else that I'll notice during that very brief moment. By focusing my eyes on a separate point, I can quickly examine it and transform it into a "boring spot", a spot that won't distract me no matter how long or boring whatever the speaker is saying.

Imagine if we had a video of Mathew 5, the sermon on the mountain . Or any event of the earthly life of Christ ! I read from various sources a message that mentioned the people were astonished because “He spoke with authority “ :) it’s like you have been working for a colony and having meetings with you supervisors and managers and taking instructions from them all your time at the company and one time the owner of this large company himself showed up as a janitor or some low level employee , but whenever he speaks up on meetings , you sense that authority! Determination on passing and making sure those messages are out on action , coz He is the CEO or the owner(in disguise) so He wants to make sure those messages are taken seriously and put to action

Till 325 AD, not a single historian or writer wrote about Jesus Christ or any of his disciples . The dead sea scrolls covering the period from Birth of Jesus to 68 AD , does NOT say one word about Jesus or his 12 Apostles. Hellenistic philosopher Philo Judaeus of Alexandria (20 BCE-50 AD/CE)-alive at the purported time of Jesus, and one of the wealthiest and best connected citizens of the Empire- makes no mention of Christ, Christians or Christianity in his voluminous writings. Nor do any of the hundreds of other historians and writers who flourished during the first THREE centuries of the common era. The DEAD SEA SCROLLS were all written by Pagan Essenes . None of them have been edited by later Christians, as is the case with some other Jewish literature. All the scrolls (except a treasure map known as the Copper Scroll) can be dated prior to A.D. 68 or 69, when the Qumran settlement was believed to have been destroyed by the Romans in the Jewish revolt.

How much meaning have you drawn and applied from anything fiction? Is it Harry Potter or are you a more of a Star Dork? Tolkien, Zelda? Anime? Tell us what hero story you relish so we can prostrate it out and rag on it here in the comment section for twenty people to see. So quick to throw out the original logos, but it’s no super intellectual to find the faults in things. Then you offer no solutions. Valueless. The arrogance you bring in with the assumption that anyone here, there or anywhere inherently cares what you have to say then you put this shitty energy (tone) out as your first point of contact it’s embarrassing. Expect the world to shell up around you. Dislike the comment, leave the rest to Google, and maybe spend your spare time better by dodging traffic!

​@@isidoreaerys8745 Have you heard of the Roman Tacitus? I believe you oppose the current scientific consensus if you say that you don't believe Jesus existed. Like you can doubt the resurrection, but there is more evidence of Jesus than of Socrates being a real person. That being said I don't think Christians make it a secret that it took many years (and many early church councils) to settle on the canon of the New Testament. The genocide of Christians by people like Nero certainly didn't help facilitate this process. Furthermore it is important to note, christians weren't called "christians" in the early days, because christianity was regarded as a 'jewish cult'. Also what you say about the dead sea scrolls is a well known fact, I don't see how that is important to your argument? The thing that was surprising about the dead sea scrolls is that it proved that the Masoretic texts (written 1000 year later) have preserved the vast majority of information.

I'm at about an 8 or 9 now (without the aid of the video) but it wasn't always that way. I used to have a real problem with eye contact, i'm not sure why. It makes a world of difference for me as a student, I feel like I have more rapport with my lecturers, they are more willing to help me and remember my name, they look to me for assurance when they are speaking, and I feel it's easier to maintain attention over the course of a lecture now that i'm more comfortable with eye contact (e.g., i won't get self-conscious about it and lose my focus). The point about sustaining it after a talking point is a good tip, so is holding for 3-5 seconds with each group member, and these would be areas I'd like to work on. Thanks Alex!

After a severe head injury I find it less difficult to make solid eye contact..to the point of making people uncomfortable…but I do not read emotions or intent well. I often find myself marginalized because I react incorrectly to a conversation, situation or event. I’m the guy who stares far too deeply for far too long until people just want to escape. And while i understand what is happening at the time i am not capable of stopping it from happening. As a coping mechanism and a new necessary skill I now look at peoples mouth instead of their eyes. It is less weird for them because I have lost much of my hearing and need to learn to read lips to participate in a conversation.

many years I have been working in SE Asia in Missions, and the eye contact doesn’t work!! It takes a lot of work to get eye contact! I even remember being in Beijing in the subway, surrounded by people and seeking eye contact for just a second. It doesn’t work! Everyone sitting across from me stared at my feet!! So much so, that I thought something was wrong with my feet, and started to hide them…. I know it wasn’t a meeting or a business presentation, just talking about attempting to make eye contact and this thought came. Thank you for your great presentations,God bless!

Would love it if you reacted to Greg Plitt's videos. I have not seen ANYONE, in this life time, come even close to his confidence without coming off arrogant or not genuine.

Really awesome video tips, I learned a lot! Do you have any tips on a online class where most of my concentration is on my own tablet instead of my students cameras? I teach art and I have bad habit of speaker to them but needing to concentrate on demonstrating on my monitor to the side. Any help would be appreciated!

Ah easier said than done.. it’s tough sometimes.. personally I feel like it’s just too intimate to make eye contact with someone sometimes because you don’t want to send the wrong kind of message to people at work (customers buying foodstuffs) or even family members.. but usually I might smile with my eyes without eye contact just to kind of show politeness and kindness without direct eye contact. However good eye contact tips though in a business formal settings, absolutely.

I use eye contact for connection, so if just talking about something I won't make much eye contact, but if I'm connecting with them on a topic, I'll look into their soul

Great tips Alex! I am curious about how other cultures fit into this where eye contact is not encouraged or appears disrespectful. For the wider audience here, it may be an important consideration to prevent any misjudgements.

Anyone who wants to improve eye contact should move to India for some time. After spending 6 months there EVERYONE commented on how intense my presence and eye contact was after I got back. Which I didn’t even notice it just passively got conditioned in me after being around the Indian people who are genuinely warm and personable.

My eyes water up when i look at someone in the eye and i start fiddling with random things to try not breaking eye contact. One tip found that looking in the corners of their eye helps a ton. Good luck with anyone else trying to figure this out lol.

I have been trying to practice eye contact but everyone gets mad when I look in their eyes. I constantly get "WTF you looking at?" or "Why you looking at me , BRO?". People are very sensitive lately. I especially love the the ones with tattoos all over there neck and face but they get mad when you look at them. I mean com'on.

I enjoy a high status at work and in my personal life, but I avoid eye contact. I make sure I deploy eye contact strategically. I tend to turn my head and give my ear a lot so I can hear someone clearly.

I have had facial paralysis since birth. I have very limited facial expressions. Yet, I have never shied from public speaking, and have done it since high school. I cannot smile. I guess I use A LOT of eye contact, because I have always been told I am effective. I also try to be personable, allowing questions and pointing out anything interesting or unique in my topic.

Interesting. I contracted bell's paulsy twenty years ago and never fully recovered the ability to express myself on one side of my face. Sometimes I think I'm smiling but I'm not. People often think in in a bad mood but I just don't look happy because of that. I'm curious, do you find that you feel like you are expressing yourself as if you are smiling but feel like it's just not coming through? I've found humor in it over the years but there are times when it's been extremely frustrating. I can't imagine having very limited expressions but I'm glad to hear you've learned to compensate.
