In a world of many terrors, few things are as unsettling as a person whose eyes are so blue and striking they seem to come straight from the uncanny valley. As we all know, navigating conversations with these blue-eyed freaks can be challenging. But deep down, they’re people just like us, and avoiding eye contact might make them feel a little marginalized. But fear not! With these clever tricks, you can dodge that piercing gaze gracefully—all while maintaining the illusion of a normal interaction.
- The classic “Hey, look over there!”
Simple, effective, and timeless. Distract them with literally anything in your vicinity. Plus, if their eyes are too terrifying to continue the conversation, this is the perfect moment to make a swift exit!
- Gift them a pair of sunglasses
“I just thought these would look sooooo good on you!” Now you’re covered. And so are their unsettling irises.
- Tell them looking into their light eyes brings back the generational trauma of your ancestors being colonized
This approach will probably make them so uncomfortable they won’t even want to make eye contact with you! Plus, if they’re white, let’s be honest—they’re probably not gonna argue with you on this.
- Turn off the lights
Just tell them that dim lighting “feels cozier.” With one flick of the switch, you’ll see nothing but shadows, safely shielding yourself from their jarring stare. And who actually likes harsh fluorescent lights, anyway?
- Look at their lips instead…
Lean in if you think they’re cute, despite those ice-blue eyes that send shivers down your spine…
