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

No I actually can't, it is painfully uncomfortable and I can not process trying to make eye contact while paying attention to a conversation...trust me I had plenty of teachers and relatives try to force it out of me. As for things like glancing over everyones forehead than I have to somehow focus on that and the conversation so then I have no idea what the discussion is.
I would think if I could do that I would have learned to avoid feeling upset whenever people tried treating it like some misbehavior issue. People have to decide if they want me to hear what they say or focus on looking like I am making eye contact without actually doing so.
