The problem is I physically can not look into both eyes at once. I feel like when I look at the person, I'm staring at their nose. If I want to see what color their eyes are, I need to look into one of the eyes. I no longer understand how it's humanly possible to look into both eyes at once. I'm staring at one point on the face. I'm so confused, now. I guess I could just stare into one eye, and it looks ok... but it doesn't feel right.

I've noticed that my tendency is to watch someone's mouth when they talk to me, as it's a little harder for me to look directly into their eyes instead, especially if the surroundings are loud and it's difficult to hear them to begin with. That being said, I do try to make myself look into their eyes, and I feel better when I do, but it usually involves casually—and inconspicuously—switching back and forth from one eye to the other. When I'm the one talking, I find that I'll look briefly into their eyes, look away for a second, and then look back.
I suppose for most people all of this happens naturally without much thought being put into it, and maybe I catch myself thinking about it more than I should. I'd agree that the key is just to relax and not think or worry about it too much.
