I think I’ve said this to someone here before. A way to make it easy for you is just to look at their pupil, the black dot in their eye. If you’re just focussing on the pupil, then they think you’re engaging with them, but really you’re just focussing on the black dot in their eye.

That’s the trick that worked for me when I was young and it just became a habit until I became really comfortable with just looking in their eyes and at their faces and having really nice conversations with people
@Jenny1234 Another way, look upon the bridge of their nose, remember to blink maybe once or twice in a few seconds. They won't see you are hiding your anxiety and trying to see them instead. Creates an openness and intimacy of kind while you find comfort.
