Do you look down when you walk?

I often look down when I walk due to anxiety. Other times when I am listening to music I am in my own world. I feel I miss out on a lot when I do so. Often from the corner of my eye, I will see women looking at me. When I don’t look back, they look away & keep walking. I know they are not always looking at me, however other times I just know they are trying to get my attention. Sometimes I wonder what if I would have looked back and attempted to start a conversation with them. I saw a few videos about this. About how when we often look down we miss so much around us. I am a really shy guy. I am not good with words in person. I am 26 and not financially stable at the moment, nor do I have my own place. These are some reasons why I don’t really pursue getting a girlfriend. If I had my life more together (which I am working on) I would have more confidence. Not all women look for material things and money. However, at my age it would be nice to have my own place to take her to. Along with more money to buy her nice things. Not sure if this makes sense.
