i'm pretty shy too, so i don't usually look directly into people's eyes...
i think i just look at something else.. like their hair, or their shirt, or their hands.. or something in their general direction.
hahha.
i don't really look at anything in particular.

i don't think there's anything wrong with that though.
i've never had any complaints.
plus, it creeps me out when people stare at me too intensely, so i don't do it to them.


(i look into their eyes when they're speaking-- not when i am.)

is there a way to look at someone depending on the number of people in your presense...for example where to look when you're talking to one person vs. a group of 8???
when i'm talking to a group of people, i usually make "rounds" with my eyes... sort of glancing over everyone... and then if someone has something to add, or wants to speak and i can tell, i stop and look at them, and listen as if no one else is there. ...and then if someone else chimes in, i look at them, and listen until they're done. and then i talk to the one who doesn't say anything.
it's like a balancing act.
