People staring into your soul when you talk

People staring into your soul when you talk I noticed that often when I’m with people and I’m stuttering, they seem to try and be supportive by staring into my eyes as deeply as they can with the widest most alert eyes ever and never blink once. Like it’s nice that they’re trying to show me that they’re listening, but it can be a little bit uncomfortable.
