The idea of eye contact as a form of connection—and even healing—is fascinating. I love how you frame it as both an act of kindness and self-discovery, especially in a world where so many of us default to avoidance.
Your experiment with holding gazes (especially with those who might feel invisible) is beautiful. It’s like a tiny rebellion against the loneliness epidemic we’re all navigating. And your observation about how men vs. women engage with eye contact? Spot on.
it is true that man often deliver aggression with their stare... but at the same time lot of women send messages of arrogance, too.
Its good to read about some decent and kind people, as to meet them in the streets as well.
