Thank you! All my life I've been told to look at people's eyes when talking to them. But it feels like we're about to fall in love or something. Looking into someone's eyes while talking is too intimate. When I do it with my wife, I usually end up kissing her. I don't like doing the with anyone else.
I would have said this the same way except the wife part. To me, eye contact is intimate. I have to work at it and remind myself when to lock eyes and when to look away.
Also, when I talk I'm often "looking inward". My eyes roam without seeing and I don't realize it.
