Have you ever walked down the street or hallway, and suddenly you see a person coming your way and you two try to pass each other, but end up doing that little 'side-step at the same time' thing and end up trying to pass each other for a minute?
I know I have problems with that at times, and so do lots of other people out there. So I put it as a goal to figure out how to avoid it.
Most recently, I have figured out a good enough way to avoid it... I tested it in my school hallways. I purposely went through busy hallways for a few days, about four days, and tested a few things out on people to see just how people react to certain things. If you look head on at a person, you will most likely collide into them. It is known for a great amount of people, if not all, that by your mental nature, if you are in motion, and you turn to face something, you will unconsciously head towards it... and other people's self conscious mind knows that. For an example, if you are on a bicycle and you turn to face a tree, you will most likely go towards the tree, even if you do not want to. You do it because you looked towards it, either in attempts to avoid it, or it was distracting. Same thing with people running into people. I found that if you turn your head to face a different way than the person coming towards you, the other person will unconsciously see this, and might as a fact, turn the opposite way and avoid collision, thinking without actually thinking you might be going the other way. Try it out some time!
