The Psychology of Eye Contact: Why Looking Someone in the Eye Is So Hard?

Описание: Have you ever noticed how loud silence becomes the moment two pairs of eyes meet? In this video, we explore the deep psychological and biological reasons why eye contact can feel so overwhelming. From our ancient survival instincts that interpret staring as a threat to the childhood "mirroring" that shapes our self-worth, we uncover why being truly seen feels like being exposed.

We also dive into Carl Jung’s concept of the "Shadow" self and why we hide our vulnerabilities behind social masks. Whether you are an empath, neurodivergent, or simply struggling with social anxiety, this video offers a path from fear to connection, reminding you that the very thing you run from is the only thing that can heal you.
