How to Identify the "Good" Eye When Talking to Cross-Eyed People

# Tips for Talking to Cross-Eyed People

- The "good" eye is typically the one looking at you. Don't look at the other one, and avoid looking over your shoulder.  
- Look at people between the eyes — regardless of whether they are cross-eyed or not — to sustain "eye contact" longer. It helps you seem confident and warm without staring directly.  
- In intimate moments like a kiss, quickly alternate your gaze between the left and right eye, mimicking how it's often portrayed in movies.  
- To identify the "good" eye, simply look at the eye that is focused on you.  
- When in doubt, look at the bridge of their nose — this often feels more natural and unobtrusive.  
- Some suggest that the irregular surface of cross-eyed eyes creates a twinkling effect, which can be charming.  
- If unsure which eye to focus on, some recommend focusing on the person's nose for a subtle approach.  
- Be mindful that too much eye contact can seem creepy; "real" eye contact involves making and breaking it naturally along with the flow of conversation.  
- If you're close to someone with a lazy or crossed eye, they might appreciate you pointing out the proper eye to look at, normalizing the situation and making the interaction smoother.  
- Remember, many people with crossed eyes are aware of their tendency and can be uncomfortable if you make them feel he's being scrutinized or mocked. Being considerate and normalized in your approach helps.
