I think those who have struggled with the eye contact thing have the most to speak to this topic. Thank you all for sharing your experiences!
Also, I wanted to add a thought, which might not even be applicable. When you look a person straight in the eyes, perhaps the peripheral stuff, like the facial tone or the aura is what really tells the story or makes one uncomfortable.
Has anyone seen (or read) Life of Pi? If you have seen it, one of the thoughts that foreshadows the movie yet runs subtly as a background theme in the movie is when Pi's father says that when you look an animal in the eye, you just see yourself. Pi's father denied a spiritual and peaceful connection with the tiger. But if you give that twist of the movie some thought - that when you look into another's eyes, you see yourself - that thought can develop into something more like this:
------------ If you look into the eyes of another, you see yourself, yes. But what allows you to see yourself is because you see the eternal being that you both are (Namaste).
Can you fathom such? Just rambling thoughts with no substance.
