There is no set ideal amount of time to maintain eye contact from across the room as it can vary based on cultural norms, personal preferences, and the context of the situation. However, a good rule of thumb is to hold eye contact for a few seconds before looking away to avoid coming across as too intense or intimidating. Ultimately, it is important to trust your instincts and adjust your behavior based on the feedback you receive from the other person.
