I rarely look people in the eye, even family members. It's like staring at the sun.

Look at their nose, from their view they will think you are making eye contact.

yea, staring at the bridge of their nose has helped me alot. I used to not look people in the face much at all. Now while i amm talking or listening to people I llok at the bridge of their nose, and have been practicing making eye contact but, if i feel anxious Ill go back to the nose, or look away for a second. Looking away for a second helps with the interaction too, its "normal"...only out of anger can i stare someone down in the eyes or if I am really trying to read their motive/intention/scam

yea i got a problem lookin strangers in the eye when walking towards them etc
but when im conversing with some1, in my head im always like "ok you have to look them in the eye for 5secs then you can look away" because in america, eye contact is vital.
today i managed to start a convo with my crush and i just gazed in her eyes for a while.. feels good

I wish ALL THE GIRLS I like/liked could just die already, so I wouldn't have bad flash backs of what happened before. I have it everytime I talk to a girl (asian), I always think that what happened on my 3rd/1st rejection is going to happen again

the problem with that is how long I can maintain the convo, with asians is that I can't start and maintain a convo

Have you ever looked up tips on the internet, how to talk to women? Or even buy a book. If conversation goes sour just ask them stuff about them that they can talk about. Stuff like nice ______, where did you get it. What kinda music/movie/books do you like and why. idk. Ive read stuff, and it helps to go back in your mind and try to decide what you would like to know about that person and what maybe you can relate with.

That's called staring, and will make them uncomfortable, I did that to a girl once, and on some online forum, she said she was uncomfortable w/ me staring at her..I always looked her in the eye, and never took my eye off.....lol

Making eye contact not really a problem. Keeping eye contact is a whole different story!
I've had so many situations where maintaining eye contact for a moment longer could've lead to a conversation. Knowing that vital moment I looked away lead to me sitting alone at home sipping whiskey always gets me down!
