    Head Up or Down When Walking?

    I always look at ground, zero eye contact with people

    These streets out here can get very dangerous. Prison no fun...

    Keep your head on a swivel” means to stay alert and aware of your surroundings. The term has military origins, and it's a common idiom found in combat situations among military operators.

    For the subjective player, if you put your head down and avoid, it could lead to negative emotions that circumvent rational thinking. Confront it, get back to keeping track of your bets and why you made them.

    For the more advanced, advantage player, when it comes to your numbers (your bets and why you made them) trust, but verfy. Trust, but verify. We spend more time testing our capping than creating the capping.

    In all cases never get overconfident when your head is high. Never. Always err on the side of caution.

    I look people dead in the eye so they know. I also say hi. But usually in a threatening way.

    Working with my neighbor on walking more confident

    An extreme measure is to do the opposite and look at sky like your wacked out

    When I lived in nyc it was always head up but not making eye contact either. If someone was walking towards you, I always would just stare beyond / over them and not connect eyes on purpose. Forces them to all go around you like a rapid in a river. Helps if you are tall


    Love dallas , Austin and philli on the ml in mls today

    Yeah.
    You never get eye contact in NYC.

    When I moved to New England from NJ/NYC totally different.
    In Boston people are much more friendly.

    ^I get eye contact a little under half the time but only from women here in Santa Monica California when walking bye, dudes no way. No one says hi or good morning either but I do some of the time and then they usually reply. I always have to be the first to say it though.

    People are very shallow and stick to themselves in SO CAL. I guess that's typical in highly populated big cities. Still it's trash.

    Head slightly tilted down and don't ever look away with someone looking at you. It is predator and prey. Try this experiment next time you go to a big party just watch people if they know and like somebody their head raises and exposes themselves if they don't know them yet you will see a slight downward head nod. Body language tells you everything.
