Today, I realized just how bad my problem with making eye contact is, when I caught myself looking the other way when the singer in a music video looked directly at the camera. FML

Today, I spilled my guts out to my fiancé about some insecurities I've been having. I then turned to look at him through tears at his expressionless face as he texted someone. FML

Today, I went to the movies. A really cute girl sat beside me. I tried to strike up a conversation with her until she turned to look at me and I realized he was a guy. I couldn't even finish the movie because I felt his judging eyes burn holes into me the entire time. FML

Today, my crush was giving a presentation in class. I zoned out and began staring off into space - which happened to be in the exact direction of his crotch. When I realized what I was doing, I quickly looked up at his face. He was already looking at me, with an expression of severe discomfort. FML

Today, I was in the middle of having a shower when I noticed a camera hidden in the corner of the room pointing directly towards the shower which I stood in butt-naked. I live by myself and have recently only moved in. FML

I wouldn't look away but actors looking straight at the camera can be awkward, though.

Show the world your war face and let them all know you're here for the long haul. Confidence starts as a decision and becomes a lifestyle.

Everyone has to be confident with themselves at times I just can't watch television because everyone is seemingly perfect

I am the same way. While I was watching 'the (un) real lives of courage my love', the vocalist opened the fridge and they put a camera on top of her cake... So she looked directly into the camera ands pet it. I looked down too lol.
