Breaking eye contact

5 posts in this topic

For years personal help masters have given their advices on maintaining eye contact, How it is a powerful way to convey confidence and power. 

This post is quite different, I'm writing to express the power of breaking eye contact, to convey certainty and the power you have over your attention. 

Here are some scenarios , where breaking eye contact could be useful. 

  • break eye contact when you feel the other person is wasting your time 
  • break eye contact when the other person tries to mess with your emotions , taking your attention away will benefit you in this case
  • break from eye contact when someone is trying to be sneaky or play a game on you 
  • break from eye contact in a situation where you feel your attention is being wasted, by nonsense, this shows you have dominance over your greatest and most valuable currency: Your Attention.

Finally , I just want to highlight that breaking from eye contact can be a sign of weakness. But that is not what we are discussing here in that post. This post was about the benefits of breaking from eye contact, How you choose to apply that in your day to day life is up to you. But I just realized lately that breaking from eye contact does not only promote confidence, but dominance as well. When you show the other person you don't have interest when they try to get under your skin, you weaken their ability to dominate you. The more control you have over your attention, the more powerful you become. 

This was one if not the most valuable lesson I have learned in social interactions. I've never thought that taking your attention away from someone , can make you THAT powerful. hopefully this benefits all of you reading this post. Thanks for reading.

Yeah I agree.
I think staring someone down or being neurotic about holding eye contact is actually a sign of neurosis and insecurity. I break eye contact all the time who gives a shit

I feel like Andrew Tate kinda guys would push the idea of “holding eye contact to assert dominance no matter what” gag

Eye contact is a bit like physical contact. Too much is creepy.
