Human faces. Eyes and mouth specifically. When talking to people, I focus on their hair to not feel uncomfortable without breaking “eye contact.” Even my own face on mirror/camera feels “weird” to look at.
I grew up in the times of “look at me when I talk to you” and would get in trouble for “looking past the person”. So I developed an ability to make eye contact while unfocusing my eyes. Turns out if you make eye contact long enough people get uncomfortable and look away thereby letting you relax.
