I always find it uncomfortable when I’m walking up the hallway and there’s a teacher in the hallway and you have to make direct eye contact and have a short conversation as you walk by them. It just kind of feels like they’re starring you out and I know they’re just trying to be polite but it feels really awkward to me. Do you ever feel like this?

This happens in any social situation when you see someone you know walking down a hallway towards you.  It will never go away.  Both sides feel awkward, regardless of the fact that it’s a student and a teacher, and no one is staring you down.  It’s just one of life’s awkward moments that we have to live with.
