Do you struggle to maintain sufficient eye contact during conversations?
You’re not alone.
Looking into the eyes of someone you don’t know that well, can be an awkward experience. You don’t want to stare too intently, but you also don’t want to appear rude by not making any eye contact at all.
Next time this happens, instead of staring straight into their eyes, focus on the middle of their eyebrows. Look away every few seconds, nod your understanding, & _don’t forget to blink_!
You’ll still look like you’re appropriately maintaining eye contact, & you are, but you’ll hopefully find it much less intense.
