Eye can't do it

[sinsterminister]

Interesting study here.Effectively, there's a scientific reason people don't make eye contact. Making eye contact is, in essence, a "task" the brain must complete which distracts it from cognitively deciphering what is being said or done, and then formulating a coherent response. Ergo, the brain's go to move is to focus somewhere else

Or maybe by introverts/ shy people? I suck at eye contact unless I'm comfortable with someone.

I'm not great at eye contact, though I'm getting better. It's a social anxiety thing for me. If I'm super comfortable with the person, it's easier.
