    Sometimes staring into someone’s eyes feels too personal. Lower your eyes, realize now you may come across as looking at their chest, keep going, looking at our feet, wow they must thing I’m uncomfortable or think I have a foot fetish yikes. Just keep turning that head down until your chest swings round and rush off in the other direction. *Scooby Doo- scram

      I usually stare at their mouth if I’m talking to someone. How else do you concentrate on what they’re saying? Their eyes aren’t the part that talks.

          Im slightly hearing impaired. I can get by but it makes it way easier to understand what people are saying if I pay attention to their mouth.

          Maybe OP is too and doesnt realize it yet.

        I usually aim for that as well. Although I knew a guy years ago that would stare at someone’s ear to see how long it would take to make them wonder if he was staring at something behind them or what they were doing.

        It really wouldn’t to be practical for me to run away from everyone. Also at 35 my hair has thinned on top a bunch so the more I look down the more it would expose such. Something comical in thinking there will be people shorter than me who I am confident around who will think I have a full head of hair, and those I am not confident around and look down, will know I don’t, haha

    The eyes are a dead zone for me in general. I will stare at anything else, just don’t make me look into your eyes. Souls ain’t that pleasant to see.
