I don't know what to do with my eyes

In a typical social interaction. When I am talking directly to someone, it's easy, you make eye contact. What do you do if no one is talking or no one is talking directly to you?? WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO WITH YOUR EYES?? lol. I usually pick a random point in space and stare at it. But this makes some people be like "what are you looking at?" It has made therapists think I am hallucinating before, even.

Seriously what do y'all do with your eyes if someone is not speaking directly to you?

look at your feet like you are so insecure you would die if someone actually talked you. And the challenge is on cause so many people will want to suddenly get to know you. Some for good and some for worse

@atlantic59 But I'm not insecure 🤨 I just don't know where to look if someone isn't talking to me at the moment

@Ananke sorry. I had the wrong fetish going. Hard to keep track these days. May I suggest dark glasses and maybe a white cane?
