So, you’ve decided that blinking is overrated and you’d rather stare into someone’s soul for as long as humanly possible. Congratulations, you’re one step closer to either deep emotional connection or getting punched in the face. Eye contact is that awkward bridge between polite conversation and full-blown existential interrogation. Buckle up, this isn’t for the faint of heart or the easily embarrassed.

First, remember that the longer you stare, the more mystical you become. People will start to wonder if you know some secret about them, like why they still have that haircut from college. You’ll gain the respect of toddlers, who clutch their parents in terror, and the admiration of grannies, who think you’re paying them a compliment. Side benefit: you’ll never need Halloween makeup again, because everyone’s already convinced you’re a zombie from The Walking Dead.

Next, master the “slow blink.” It’s the perfect tool for stretching a two-second glance into an hour-long soul-searching ritual. Wink too fast and it looks like you’ve got a coding glitch in your eyelid software. Blink too slow and you risk permanently welding your eyelids open, no pressure though. With practice, you’ll achieve that dreamy, “I’m listening deeply” look, which is also code for “I haven’t decided if you make sense.”

Of course, there are risks. Hold that stare for three full seconds and you might see memories you never wanted to relive, like that time you replied-all on an office email. Lock eyes for five seconds and you become the human embodiment of a lie detector. Exceed seven seconds and people start fumbling for their phones to call security. But hey, if you survive this unholy crucible, you’ll earn the ultimate badge of courage: slightly terrified respect.

In the end, extend your eye contact at your own risk, but reap the rewards of becoming a living art installation. You’ll forge unbreakable bonds, or at least compel suspicious glances wherever you go. Just remember to breathe, maintain a semblance of warmth, and maybe practice on your cat first, it can’t rat you out to HR. Now go forth, stare deeply, and prepare for life’s most intimate intimidation tactic.
