Came here to say this. It's so hard to look at someone in the eyes.

I don't know where to look! It's so awkward.

Bridge of their nose

Look at their right eye. If you look at their left it'll feel like they're looking over your shoulder. Lol

Bridge of the nose, or just above it.

A friend/co-worker has a trick he uses that I thought was pretty clever, though it only works if you're nearsighted: he takes off his glasses so he can't see your eyes but looks like he's making eye contact

Then you notice how far apart their eyes are or there's a zit there or they've a faint monobrow and you wonder if they've ever considered shaving it and you just missed most of the last five things they said.

I usually pick something on the wall just to the side of their head and then I get too focused on that and then the conversation is over and I have no idea what just happened.
