I find the best technique is eye-contact. You have to realize many other people you come in contact with or walk by on the street are just as self-conscious as you are, and are wondering the same thing. 'What does this person think about me?' So,by making eye-contact you take control of your situation. Thus, I tend to agree with moviestar, but I don't believe staring in someone's eyes you never met for ten to twenty seconds is normal. People will either think your demented or looking for trouble. If they notice you staring, just look for another 2-3 seconds, then let your eyes wander off somewhere else. If you feel them still staring back at you, glance back at them again and they will get the message.
