Eye Contact

I am working on another step towards improvement, and that is eye contact. I didn't realize how little I really looked at the people I was trying to talk with. It does make a difference in how you talk when you are looking at the person. It helps them in their reaction to your stuttering, too. I find that it is easier to do this with people I am comfortable with right now and still notice that I can't keep eye contact when I stutter while talking with strangers. It is such an ingrained response that I have been doing for so long. I will keep on working on it, though. I will improve with maintaining eye contact and my speech will improve, too. I have to have faith.
