If I made eye contact with someone, I had to compliment them in some way. To make sure I never chickened out, I had to actively try to make eye contact. I couldn’t intentionally look away. But I didn’t have to compliment people who were already having a conversation or on the phone or wearing headphones. (I didn’t want to be rude.) And I couldn’t hide away all day. I had to go out into the world at least four times.
