The Hidden Danger of Holding Eye Contact Too Long

Think about the last time someone held your gaze a beat too long. Something shifted. Your body registered it before your mind did. That wasn't a social awkwardness. That was a 200-million-year-old system firing inside you.

The answer goes deeper than you think.
