This all seems very useful advice, thank you!

Eye contact is hard. Fortunately, from more than a couple feet away, no one can tell that you're staring at their forehead or the bridge of their nose rather than into their eyes.

Of course this only solves the "making eye contact when you pass women" problem and not the "making eye contact when you talk to women" problem. Fortunately, fear of eye contact seems so dumb and irrational that I suspect that despite its clearly firmly ingrained evolutionary roots, it's relatively easy to completely eliminate after some initially painful practice period. So I suspect that the wisest thing to do is tackle the problem head on as soon as possible.
