I always look below or the cars or other things but not with a person. Thats why i hate buying things because i need to talk face to face with the cashier but yeah thats unavoidable. So its better if you learn how to not panic even if you made eye contact with someone. Thats normal
SUNGLASSES!! Also, they will protect your eyes from cataracts in the future. Double bonus! I find that strangers are less likely to speak to me if I am wearing them, too.
Just look on the ground or buildings or just focus on your phone. Or if you can’t avoid looking at people then look at the bridge of their nose (if you are talking to them)
How do u avoid unnecessary eye contact in public?
