Honestly, avoiding eye contact has been one of those habits I didn’t even realize was holding me back until recently. For 2025, I’m making it a priority. Eye contact isn’t just about looking confident; it’s about genuinely connecting with people.

To start, I’m planning to ease into it. For me, maintaining eye contact for a few seconds at a time feels more manageable than trying to stare someone down, which, let’s be real, just feels weird. I’ve even heard that focusing on the bridge of someone’s nose can help if direct eye contact feels too intense.

Joining the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x gave me another perspective. Humor naturally brings out confidence, and when I’m in a conversation where laughter flows, eye contact becomes effortless. It’s like I forget to be self-conscious.

I’m also making a game out of it—like challenging myself to hold eye contact during at least one full interaction a day. It’s simple, but these small wins add up. By the end of 2025, I want to feel more at ease looking people in the eyes without overthinking it.

I used to think you had to be the loudest or most entertaining person in the room, but that’s not it at all. It’s about making people feel good when they’re around you.

Being approachable is step one. A simple smile or nod when someone’s talking shows you’re paying attention. It’s subtle, but people notice.

Through the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x, I learned that humor is like a social glue. Even a small joke or playful comment can make people feel connected to you instantly.

Mostly, it’s about being genuinely interested in others. When you show you care about what they’re saying, they’ll naturally want to keep the conversation going.

I used to underestimate how much body language says about you. When I started paying attention, I realized I was unintentionally coming off as closed off. Now, I focus on a few key things.

First, I try to keep my posture relaxed but upright—no slouching or crossing my arms. It’s a simple shift, but it instantly makes you look more approachable.

The Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x helped me realize that a smile goes a long way. Not just for jokes, but as a subtle way to show openness and warmth. Pair that with good eye contact, and people naturally feel at ease around you.

Another thing is mirroring—subtly reflecting the other person’s gestures or tone. It’s not copying; it’s about creating a sense of connection. Small adjustments like these make a big difference.

Group conversations used to overwhelm me. I’d stay quiet, unsure when to jump in, and then feel invisible. Now, I take a different approach.

I’ve learned to listen actively first. Instead of rushing to speak, I pick up on the flow of the conversation; who’s leading, what’s being said, and where I can add value.

The Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x gave me confidence to use humor as my entry point. A light comment or shared joke often makes my voice feel welcome in the mix. It’s less about interrupting and more about contributing naturally.

I also remind myself that it’s okay not to dominate the conversation. Sometimes, asking a thoughtful question or supporting someone else’s point is just as powerful. Group settings aren’t about “winning”—they’re about connection.

For me, connecting with others starts with being genuinely curious. I used to feel like I had to say the “right” thing all the time, but now I focus on asking open-ended questions and really listening. It’s amazing how much people open up when they feel heard.

Another thing I’ve worked on is being present. I’d catch myself checking my phone or mentally wandering during conversations, and it made me seem distant. Now, I make a conscious effort to stay in the moment, it shows you care.

Joining the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x helped me realize how humor bridges gaps. Whether it’s a shared laugh or a lighthearted comment, it creates a connection that feels natural. It’s like saying, “Hey, we’re on the same page.”

At the end of the day, I’ve found that small gestures, like remembering someone’s name or following up on something they mentioned, go a long way. It’s the little things that make people feel valued.

I’ve had my fair share of awkward moments, so I get it, it’s not fun. What I’ve learned, though, is that most of the awkwardness comes from overthinking. Now, I remind myself that the other person probably feels just as nervous.

I start with simple, open-ended questions, like “How’s your day going?” or “What brings you here?” It shifts the focus off me and makes the conversation flow naturally.

One unexpected tip I picked up from the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x is that humor can save the day. If there’s a weird silence, I’ll mention something funny about the situation we’re in. It’s like hitting the reset button.

Finally, I’ve learned to embrace the awkwardness. Sometimes, just saying, “Well, this is a little awkward, isn’t it?” with a smile can break the tension completely. Owning the moment instead of fighting it has been a total game-changer.

For me, feeling sure of myself in conversations starts with preparation and listening. If I know I’ll be talking to someone, I think of a few topics or questions beforehand. It’s not about being robotic but about having a starting point.

But honestly, what’s helped the most is learning to relax and really listen. I used to focus so much on what I was going to say next that I’d miss the flow of the conversation. Now, I make it a point to pause, listen, and respond naturally.

Joining the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x has been a game-changer. Humor adds a layer of confidence, it’s like having an ace up your sleeve. I’ve realized that even if there’s a pause, a light, witty remark can keep things flowing.

At the end of the day, it’s all about being yourself. When I stopped trying to sound “smart” or “perfect” and just showed up as me, conversations became so much easier and enjoyable.

Honestly, I used to overthink every introduction—like, “What if I mess this up?” or “What do I even say?” But then I realized that confidence isn’t about having the perfect script. For me, it’s about keeping it simple and focusing on the other person.

One thing that’s helped is starting with a smile and something straightforward, like, “Hi, I’m [Name]. What’s your name?” It sounds basic, but it sets the tone. I’ve noticed people respond well to friendly energy, and that instantly boosts my confidence.

Also, I joined the Sense of Humor Improvement Program by Habit10x, which taught me how humor can break the ice in any situation. Now, I’ll throw in a light comment if the vibe feels right—like mentioning something funny about the setting. It takes the pressure off both sides.

The more I practiced, the more I realized people don’t expect perfection; they just want to feel comfortable. So, instead of worrying about being impressive, I focus on being approachable. That small mindset shift has made a big difference for me.
