Avoiding Eye Contact?
Why do we avoid eye contact with strangers? And what does it say about how we relate to ourselves? When a stranger looks at us, something happens. And often, we look away. At first glance, it seems like we’re afraid of other people. But what if that’s not the real reason? What if we're actually afraid of ourselves? This video is a personal reflection on eye contact, self-awareness, and the quiet ways we hide from ourselves. Because sometimes, the hardest gaze to hold… is our own. If you’ve ever felt the urge to look away, this might be for you.
