ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Look Me in the Eye

Looking someone in the eye means to look directly at their eyes. It's like when you're talking to your mom and you look at her face. It shows that you're paying attention to what the other person is saying and you care about what they're saying. It's like saying "I am listening to you and what you're saying is important to me." Eye contact can help people feel more connected and understanding towards each other. So when you're talking to someone, try to look them in the eye to show that you're engaged in the conversation.
