Look into my eyes.
What’s something about you that you just have trouble doing? Like something that you are SUPPOSED to be good at in your professional life?
For me? Maintaining eye contact.
It’s just really awkward and uncomfortable for me, and what sucks about it is that in professional life, eye contact is something many things is hinged on! Like, if I have an interview with a band I have to basically FOCUS on eye contact with these people. When I have done interviews for jobs, I have had to break out from my comfort zone to basically stare at people….what sucks about it is that I become so focused on this eye contact, I forget to listen to what these people are saying.
What’s even worse is when I am talking to anyone, and I mean anyone…They think I am ignoring them….and it’s NOT THE CASE! I’m just uncomfortable with eye contact…hell even some of my co-workers call me out on it.
It’s something I have tried to get good at since I was in high school, and I just can’t.
