How about no.
Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye.
It's not about self-esteem, really.
Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye.
If I'm walking, I need to look down to be confident. Know why? Because if I can't see my feet, I will trip over everything. Last time I tried to walk at my normal speed with my feet outside my range of vision (just barely outside, I mean, I was looking straight ahead and not up or down at all,) I tripped within three feet of trying. I have to look down or else I'm going to fall down. So yes, I suppose you could say that my looking down when I walk is about a certain sort of confidence: it's necessary for the confidence that I will stay on my feet.
Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye.
If I look up, I might make accidental eye contact with someone. People are fine. Faces are often fine. Eyes are uncomfortable. If I look down, I still see people, so I know where they are, but I can't make accidental eye contact unless someone falls over. And, you know, if I look up, that someone might be me?
Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye.
The four leaf clovers are all on the ground. Yes, I have a lot of them. I find them in bunches, in ten and twelve and twenty, and that's because I look down.
Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye.
