Nah, you can learn how to become comfortable with eye contact too. There are therapists that even specialize in that particular skill. It's not as important in groups though. You can just sort of glance over everyone's forehead without getting into a deep eye lock with someone.

I prefer quality over quantity too. Some people are just acquaintances and that's fine.
