There was a stare challenge a while back that I partook in.
It was a confidence building challenge which stated that whenever you locked eyes with a stranger, you couldn’t instinctively look away.
You had to stay looking at them as long as they kept eye contact.
The challenge was to do it 5 times.
One of the hardest things I ever did.
Yeah - I recall doing something similar. It was from a book that you were supposed to work your way through.
The title of the book escapes me now.
I think most of us have felt the pain of social rejection. Of being laughed at & teased, particularly as children & young adults. We carry these traumas into adulthood until we can clear them.
I wish I could remember that book now.
