Please can I ask what the preferred reaction is? I was taught not to interrupt and not provide the word that I thought the person was going to say, so I know not to do that, but I have social anxiety/ overthink eye contact and am generally awkward and have been in situations where someone has had a block and I wasn’t sure if I should wait and hold the eye contact or look away to not make the person feel under pressure but then worry that might be perceived as impatience. What is best to do?
