I was one of those who had problems making eye contact too. But after a pretty moving experience, I have learned the value of making eye contact with others. I could barely hold anothers gaze longer than a few seconds. Now I can have whole conversations with people without looking away. I now notice when people dont hold it with me and sometimes (depending on how deep the conversation is) I'll ask people to stop looking everywhere else and to just look at me.
If you are haveing trouble with eye contact, try this. Dont try to look at both eyes, just concentrate on the other persons left eye. This keeps you from shifting back and forth from each eye. I've had friends tell me now that when we talk, they realy feel that i've heard what they had to say due to the attention that i allow them (through eye contact)...
